Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing pad technology, specifically to a CMP polishing pad with a porous structure. Background Technology
[0002] Polishing pads are key auxiliary materials in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes, determining the surface quality of wafers. Primarily composed of materials such as polyurethane foam, they possess a porous microstructure and high wear resistance. Their core functions include uniformly transmitting pressure, storing polishing slurry, and removing reaction residues. Adjusting the hardness can optimize both in-mold and in-wafer uniformity. The groove pattern design directly affects the polishing slurry distribution efficiency; radial grooves improve material removal rate, while annular grooves optimize surface finish.
[0003] When using existing CMP polishing pads, the groove structure on the surface of the pad usually reduces the hardness and mechanical strength of the pad, causing it to wear out too quickly and reducing its service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A CMP polishing pad with a porous structure includes a base layer, a polishing layer disposed on the upper surface of the base layer, and outwardly protruding polishing blocks disposed on the polishing layer. A porous structure is formed between adjacent polishing blocks. The porous structure is used to transport and distribute polishing fluid and to store and remove polishing byproducts. A reinforcing component is disposed on the base layer to enhance the hardness and mechanical strength of the base layer.
[0007] Preferably, the substrate layer includes an upper substrate layer and a lower substrate layer, wherein the reinforcing component is located inside the upper substrate layer and the lower substrate layer, and the upper substrate layer is located above the lower substrate layer.
[0008] Preferably, the reinforcing component includes reinforcing rings and reinforcing ribs, the reinforcing rings are concentrically distributed, and the reinforcing rings are connected by reinforcing ribs.
[0009] Preferably, the reinforcing component further includes an upper positioning ring and a lower positioning ring, wherein the upper positioning ring is disposed on the upper surface of the reinforcing ring and the lower positioning ring is disposed on the lower surface of the reinforcing ring.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] To address the issue that the grooved structure on the surface of existing CMP polishing pads often reduces the pad's hardness and mechanical strength, leading to premature wear and a shortened lifespan, please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-9 The following technical solution is provided in this embodiment:
[0026] A CMP polishing pad with a porous structure includes a base layer 1, a polishing layer 2 disposed on the upper surface of the base layer 1, and polishing blocks 21 protruding outwardly disposed on the polishing layer 2. A porous structure 22 is formed between adjacent polishing blocks 21. The porous structure 22 is used to transport and distribute polishing fluid and to store and remove polishing byproducts.
[0027] Specifically, the porous structure 22 forms the delivery channel of the polishing pad, which can deliver the polishing liquid to the entire polishing area and distribute it evenly. Furthermore, the polishing byproducts generated during the polishing process can be carried away in time through the porous structure 22, giving it a strong ability to deliver polishing liquid and remove polishing byproducts.

[0030] In this embodiment, the reinforcing component 3 includes reinforcing rings 31 and reinforcing ribs 32. The reinforcing rings 31 are distributed concentrically and are connected to each other by the reinforcing ribs 32.
[0031] In this embodiment, the reinforcing component 3 further includes an upper positioning ring 33 and a lower positioning ring 34. The upper positioning ring 33 is disposed on the upper surface of the reinforcing ring 31, and the lower positioning ring 34 is disposed on the lower surface of the reinforcing ring 31.
[0032] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ring 31 is disposed in the upper substrate layer 11 by the upper positioning ring 33, and the reinforcing ring 31 is disposed in the lower substrate layer 12 by the lower positioning ring 34.
[0033] In this embodiment, the inner side of the upper substrate layer 11 is provided with an upper annular groove 111 for assembling the upper positioning ring 33, and the inner side of the lower substrate layer 12 is provided with a lower annular groove 121 for assembling the lower positioning ring 34.
[0034] Specifically, the lower positioning ring 34 is placed on the lower annular groove 121 of the lower substrate layer 12, and the upper substrate layer 11 is placed above the lower substrate layer 12. The upper positioning ring 33 is placed in the upper annular groove 111 on the upper substrate layer 11. After lamination, a base layer 1 with embedded reinforcing component 3 is formed. The hardness and mechanical strength of the base layer 1 can be enhanced by the reinforcing component 3, thereby improving the hardness and mechanical strength of the polishing pad, preventing the polishing pad from wearing out too quickly, and extending the service life of the polishing pad.
