AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for detecting the endpoint of chemical mechanical polishing are inaccurate, leading to over-polishing. This is especially problematic in optical inspection where noise interference is severe, and temperature detection has a large lag, making it difficult to accurately determine the polishing endpoint.

Method used

An alternating magnetic field is generated on the polishing pad using a high-frequency alternating magnetic field generator. The temperature of the polishing surface is monitored in real time by a temperature detector. The polishing endpoint is determined by the temperature change caused by eddy currents. The data processing module determines whether the endpoint has been reached based on the temperature.

Benefits of technology

It improves the accuracy of polishing endpoint detection, avoids the effects of environmental noise and hysteresis, ensures polishing quality, and simplifies the judgment process.
