What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedChemical mechanical polishing machines remove and planarize surface material by combining mechanical contact with a polishing medium and chemical action at the wafer surface. CMP tools generally hold wafers on carrier heads and bring them into controlled contact with a polishing pad while slurry supports material removal. CMP tools are used to improve surface planarity and to prepare wafers for subsequent fabrication steps.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP tools are used after film deposition and patterning steps when wafer topography must be reduced or a layer must be polished back to a controlled surface condition. CMP commonly sits between build steps in device fabrication because a flatter wafer surface supports later lithography, etch, deposition, and interconnect processing.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP equipment is used for wafer surface planarization and for polishing process layers during semiconductor manufacturing. CMP processes are commonly applied to dielectric films, metal layers, and other deposited materials when the process objective is surface leveling or controlled material removal.
