White pad for wafer rough polishing
By introducing a non-Newtonian fluid layer and a grid-like cavity structure into the wafer polishing pad, the problem of local buffer failure caused by micro-airbag rupture was solved, thereby improving the uniformity of the wafer surface, extending its service life, and optimizing the planarization effect.

AI Technical Summary
In actual use, the micro-airbags of existing wafer polishing pads are prone to breakage, leading to localized buffer failure and affecting continuous operation.
A non-Newtonian fluid layer is introduced into the fluid flow cavity within the polishing pad. The viscosity of the fluid changes with pressure and shear rate to achieve adaptive buffering. It flexibly adheres to the wafer surface under low pressure and forms rigid support under high pressure or high frequency vibration. Combined with the grid-like cavity and nested pads, it forms an encapsulated thin-layer structure to avoid local failure.
It improves wafer surface uniformity, reduces localized unplanarization, extends service life, and optimizes global planarization by controlling temperature through a heat dissipation structure.
