Abstract
In
this research, it is shown that the CMP performance (material removal
rate, planarization, surface roughness and defect density, etc.) is
significantly determined by the slurry film thickness between the silicon
wafer and the polishing pad. The slurry film thickness depends on velocity
and Hersey number.
