    can occur at any time during the process if particulates accumulate and clog up the filter element. When POU filters are used in chemically dominant processes such as shallow trench isolation and metal polishing involving tungsten and copper, an unanticipated reduction of slurry flow can be highly

    Ara Philipossian and Farhang Shadman, Patrick Levy, Saied Tousi, and Barry Gotlinsky, W. Scott Rader, Paul Lefevre, and Isamu Koshiyama, Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) technology has played an enabling role in attaining near-perfect planarity of interconnection and metal layers, an essential

  • MICRO:Process Equipment-CMP Consumables, by Douglas W. Cooper, p.53 (July '99)
    Douglas W. Cooper and Rob C. Linke, Whether used to remove excess metal or oxide from IC chips or thin-film data-storage disks, chemical-mechanical polishing or planarization (CMP) has become an increasingly important and rapidly growing technology. Most CMP combines chemical activity with abrasion

    Kerstin Kaemmer and Grit Bonsdorf, Martin Tuckermann and Jim Kavanagh, By decreasing the number of defects of interest, in-line RTC can facilitate cleaning-process optimization and increase device yields. hemical-mechanical polishing is now widely used for the planarization of oxide and metal

When CMP is used for oxide polishing, a distinction is often made between premetal oxides and the IMD oxides used at the back end of the line
