AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for polishing sapphire result in a deep subsurface damage layer after final polishing, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of ultra-thin windows and high-power laser windows. Furthermore, existing oil-based diamond pastes have not effectively solved this problem.
A mixture of nano-cerium oxide-diamond core-shell hybrid particles and polycarboxylate-based oily diamond paste is used to reduce the subsurface damage depth of sapphire after final polishing and maintain the removal rate through instantaneous synergistic mechanical and chemical polishing.
After final polishing, the subsurface damage depth of sapphire is significantly reduced from 25–35 nm to ≤8 nm, the surface roughness Ra is ≤0.2 nm, while maintaining a removal rate of ≥0.18 μm/min.

[0002] Currently, when polishing sapphire, the existing polycarboxylate system oil-based diamond paste (including BYK-9076, Priolube3970 and other formulations) has achieved Ra 0.2-0.3 nm and high removal rate, but due to pure mechanical action, the subsurface damage layer of sapphire after final polishing is still generally 25-40 nm under TEM actual measurement, which seriously restricts downstream processing projects such as the strength of ultra-thin windows (<100 μm), the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of high-power laser windows and the sidewall steepness of LED patterned substrates (PSS), and currently there is no patent or document disclosing the addition of a second phase nanoparticle with chemical polishing function to the oil-based diamond paste to solve this pain point.
