Abstract:
A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) conditioner includes a ceramic substrate having a major surface, and an abrasive coating overlying the major surface. The major surface can include micro-protrusions arranged in a curved pattern. Alternatively, the micro-protrusions can be arranged in an irregular pattern.
Abstract:
An abrasive tool for conditioning CMP pads includes abrasive grains coupled to a substrate through a metal bond and a coating, e.g., a fluorine-doped nanocomposite coating. The abrasive grains can be arranged in a self-avoiding random distribution. In one implementation, an abrasive tool includes a coated plate and a coated abrasive article that has two abrading surfaces. Other implementations related to a process for producing an abrasive tool that includes a coating at one or more of its surfaces. Also described are methods for dressing a CMP pad.
