What it is
The Lam Research IPEC Momentum is a chemical mechanical polisher.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA chemical mechanical polisher removes material by combining a moving polishing surface with chemical action and controlled mechanical contact.
CMP tools use a wafer carrier, a polishing pad, and slurry delivery to planarize and finish wafer surfaces.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedChemical mechanical polishing is a planarization step in semiconductor manufacturing.
CMP follows earlier film deposition or surface formation steps and prepares wafers for later patterning and integration steps.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Lam Research IPEC Momentum serves wafer planarization and surface finishing work in semiconductor process flows.
CMP is used to level dielectric layers, metal layers, and other thin films that require tight topography control.
