[0003] Due to the high hardness and brittleness of gallium oxide, the processing difficulty of gallium oxide substrates is greatly increased. Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) technology is one of the most commonly used methods for processing gallium oxide because of its high processing efficiency, good surface quality, and high flatness.

If the process parameters are set with deviations, it may cause an increase in the unevenness of the surface grinding topography of the gallium oxide substrate.

[0063] In order to obtain the contact pressure between the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate and the polishing pad, the uniform load of the side of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate away from the polishing pad needs to be obtained first, wherein the uniform load refers to the force uniformly distributed on the structure, since the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate is fixed by clamping above the grinding polishing pad, a certain force, i.e. the uniform load, will be applied to the side of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate away from the polishing pad.

[0069] In addition, the input condition of the pre-trained finite element model can further input a model parameter such as a material attribute of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate in addition to the uniform load, so as to improve the accuracy of the contact pressure in the model solving output.

[0075] In a possible implementation, the force of a single abrasive particle can be calculated according to the contact pressure, the area of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate, and the effective abrasive particle quantity. In the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that the concentration of the abrasive particles is large, the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate does not contact the polishing pad, and the polishing pressure is completely transmitted to the abrasive particles. Optionally, the specific calculation formula of the force of a single abrasive particle can be:

[0076]

[0077] wherein F is the force of a single abrasive particle, and σ is the contact pressure.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the removal amount of the single abrasive particle can be calculated according to the indentation depth, the grinding coefficient, the grinding rotation speed, the grinding time, and the diameter of the abrasive particle, and the specific calculation formula of the removal amount of the single abrasive particle is:

[0082]

[0083] wherein ΔG is the removal amount of the single abrasive particle, K is the grinding coefficient, V is the grinding rotation speed, and t is the grinding time.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to accurately predict the grinding morphology of the surface of the gallium oxide substrate, the arithmetic average roughness of the surface of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate needs to be calculated, and the specific calculation formula of the arithmetic average roughness of the surface of the to-be-tested gallium oxide substrate is:
