Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has already become a mainstream technology in global planarization of wafer, but the mechanism of nonuniform material removal has not been revealed. In this paper, the calculation of particle movement tracks on wafer surface was conducted by the motion relationship between the wafer and the polishing pad on a large-sized single head CMP machine. Based on the distribution of particle tracks on wafer surface, the model for the within-wafer-nonuniformity (WIWNU) of material removal was put forward. By the calculation and analysis, the relationship between the motion variables of the CMP machine and the WIWNU of material removal on wafer surface had been derived. This model can be used not only for predicting the WIWNU, but also for providing theoretical guide to the design of CMP equipment, selecting the motion variables of CMP and further understanding the material removal mechanism in wafer CMP.

In this paper, Yb:LuScO3 crystal was processed by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and the surface roughness of 0.18[Formula: see text]nm was obtained. The atomic step structures of these sesquioxide crystals are successfully characterized by AFM scanning probe technology. Through several CMP experiments, the basic material removal mechanism of a ytterbium-doped LuScO3 crystal during CMP is studied. Based on the findings, a material removal model is established. The results of this study provide ideas for the study of CMP, crystal growth and epitaxy.

In this paper, material removal mechanism of monocrystalline silicon by chemical etching with different solutions were studied to find effective oxidant and stabilizer. Material removal mechanism by mechanical loads was analyzed based on the measured acoustic signals in the scratching processes and the observation on the scratched surfaces of silicon wafers. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes of monocrystalline silicon wafers were analyzed in detail according to the observation and measurement of the polished surfaces with XRD. The results show that H2O2 is effective oxidant and KOH stabilizer. In a certain range, the higher concentration of oxidant, the higher material removal rate; the higher the polishing liquid PH value, the higher material removal rate. The polishing pressure is an important factor to obtain ultra-smooth surface without damage. Experimental results obtained silicon polishing pressure shall not exceed 42.5kPa.

In this paper, the scratching processes by a diamond indentor under the loads linearly increased from zero were studied to assess the mechanical behavior of LiTaO3 crystal wafer. Material removal mechanism of LiTaO3 crystal by mechanical loads was analyzed based on the measured acoustic signals in the scratching processes and the observation on the scratched surfaces of LiTaO3 wafers. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes of LiTaO3 wafers were analyzed in detail according to the observation and measurement of the polished surfaces of LiTaO3 wafers with SEM and XRD. The research results show that there exist four regimes along the scratched groove with the increasing of down force in a scratching process of LiTaO3 crystal wafer, and the critical load for each regime is affected by the loading speed and final load, etc. When H2O2 and KOH are added into the polishing slurry, the material of LiTaO3 wafer is removed by chemical reaction and mechanical action sequentially in the CMP processes, and the material removal rate increases while the surface roughness is improved.
