What it is

It is a Strasbaugh-branded polisher in the 6 UR 4 spindle configuration.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A chemical mechanical polisher removes material by combining controlled pad motion, slurry action, and downward force on the workpiece surface. The process uses both chemical interaction and mechanical abrasion to reduce topography and improve flatness.

A multi-spindle polishing tool can process more than one workpiece position in parallel, using separate carrier heads or spindle stations to apply and control polishing action.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

CMP is used after deposition, etch, and other patterning steps when a wafer surface must be planarized before subsequent lithography or interconnect processing.

Polishing equipment of this class is positioned in the wafer-finishing portion of the fab flow, where it supports surface planarity and interface preparation.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

This class of equipment is used for wafer planarization, interlayer dielectric polishing, metal planarization, and other surface-finishing steps in semiconductor fabrication.
