Abstract:
In one of the many embodiments, an apparatus for processing a substrate is provided which includes a substrate processing chamber where the substrate is positioned within the substrate processing chamber so the substrate at least partially separates the substrate processing chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. The apparatus further includes a first chamber inlet configured to input a first fluid of a first temperature into the first chamber at a first pressure and a second chamber inlet configured to input a second fluid of a second temperature into the second chamber at a second pressure wherein the first pressure and the second pressure are substantially equal. The second temperature is capable of being utilized to manage substrate temperature.
Abstract:
A processing belt (150, 160, 170) for use in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), is provided. The processing belt is reinforced with one of a mesh belt (154) and a woven fabric (164). The processing belt includes a polymeric material (152) encasing the mesh belt to define the processing belt. The processing belt is fabricated so that the mesh belt forms a continuous loop within the polymeric material, and the mesh belt is constructed as a grid of intersecting members (174). The intersecting members are joined at fixed joints (176) to form a rigid support structure for the processing belt.
