Definitions

- a planarization polishing process of a film attached on a surface of a wafer is required to perform in order to satisfy the subsequent processing requirements during a process of fabricating an integrated circuit.
- Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a widely used planarization method currently.
- a basic principle of CMP is that: rotations of a polishing head and a polishing pad may generate a relative motion required by polishing.
- a wafer is carried in the polishing head and the polish pad is attached onto a surface of a polish disk.
- a predetermined pressure is applied by the polishing head to press the wafer onto a surface of the polish pad.
- a high material removal rate is required by CMP to improve production efficiency
- a high uniformity should be ensured so as to control the non-uniformity in a reasonable extent. Otherwise, the wafer may be scrapped.
- the polishing pressure is needed to accurately control.
- Many related technologies such as regional pressure control method have been used, however the conventional methods may only control a back-pressure of the wafer, the real pressure between the wafer and the polishing pad is not known and there is suitable method to measure the real pressure.
- a hydrodynamic lubrication or a mixed lubrication may be formed at the interface between the wafer and the polishing pad because of the relative motion between the wafer and the polishing pad.
