What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA CMP machine holds the wafer face-down against a rotating platen covered with a polishing pad.
A chemically active slurry is dispensed onto the pad, reacting with the wafer surface while the mechanical motion removes material at a controlled rate.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP is typically performed after deposition steps, such as oxide or metal film deposition, to eliminate topography before subsequent lithography.
In the fabrication flow, CMP follows deposition and precedes photolithography and etching for critical layers like shallow trench isolation and interconnect metallization.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP is used to planarize interlayer dielectrics, enabling tight focus budgets for subsequent lithography steps.
Metal CMP removes excess copper or tungsten in damascene processes to form embedded interconnect lines.
