Classified reflected-light spectra flag film-thickness measurement abnormalities during wafer polishing, helping prevent incorrect polishing.
Moving the CMP fluid nozzle along selected paths prevents slurry buildup on the pad and maintains uniform polishing across the substrate.
Adjustable stopper and sensor feedback control conditioning force to keep CMP polishing pads uniform, reduce wear, and protect substrate yield.
Maintaining radial port alignment as the supply head moves across the pad improves slurry coverage uniformity and helps reduce substrate defects.
Multiple small processing pads and electromagnetic pressing speed substrate finishing while maintaining uniform film thickness.
Deep polishing-layer grooves and a conductive subpad improve heat transfer in CMP, stabilizing pad temperature and removal rates.
Mapped reflected-light spectra flag abnormal film-thickness readings during wafer polishing, helping stop over-polishing and wafer damage.
A two-stage silicon wafer polishing sequence uses low- then high-density slurry to remove residues and prevent LPDs and micro scratches.
Multiple pressure chambers and a corrected response model tailor CMP recipes to wafer thickness variation and improve film uniformity.
Interface heating or cooling guided by ceria particle charge keeps CMP removal rate on target while limiting pad wear and consumable cost.
An airtight chamber and embedded pressure sensor enable real-time CMP conditioning pressure detection, reducing pad damage and wafer yield loss.
Quick-recall inputs store and restore platen speed, specimen speed, load, and cycle time to cut grinding and polishing setup time.
High-pressure rinse fluid with ultrasonic nanobubbles clears debris from CMP pads during dressing, helping prevent wafer scratches and yield loss.
Optical sensing maps slurry distribution on the polishing pad, enabling feedback control of pressure and liquid supply for more uniform CMP.
A two-tank horizontal transfer scheme improves substrate residue removal, avoids re-adhesion, and keeps the cleaning module structure simple.
A spiral pure water line around the swing axis absorbs twisting, preventing blockage and damage while keeping bearing cooling and lubrication stable.
Segmented annular pad regions enable targeted maintenance and finer wafer edge polishing control, reducing defects and improving yield.
