Abstract

Chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process depends on a variety of variables. Especially, surface roughness of pad plays a key role in material removal in CMP in terms of transportation ability of pores and real contact area. The surface roughness is deteriorated with polishing time by applied pressure and relative velocity. In this reason, diamond conditioner has been used to maintain the roughness on the pad. The authors try to investigate the correlation between pad roughness and frictional behavior by comparing ex-situ conditioning with in-situ conditioning.
