Fabrication and Polishing Performance of Diamond Self-Sharpening Gel Polishing Disk

A diamond gel polishing disk with self-sharpening ability is proposed to solve the problem of glazing phenomenon in the gel polishing disks. Aluminum nitride (AlN) powder with silica sol film coating (A/S powder) is added to the polishing disk, and a specific solution is used to dissolve the A/S pow...

description A diamond gel polishing disk with self-sharpening ability is proposed to solve the problem of glazing phenomenon in the gel polishing disks. Aluminum nitride (AlN) powder with silica sol film coating (A/S powder) is added to the polishing disk, and a specific solution is used to dissolve the A/S powder during polishing, forming a pore structure on the polishing disk. To realize the self-sharpening process, the dissolution property of the A/S powder is analyzed. The effect of A/S powder content on the friction and wear performance and the polishing performance of 4H-SiC wafers are investigated. Results showed that the friction coefficient of the polishing disk with 9 wt% A/S powder content is the most stable. The surface roughness <i>R<sub>a</sub></i> of 2.25 nm can be achieved, and there is no obvious glazing phenomenon on the polishing disk after polishing. The surface roughness of the 4H-SiC wafer is reduced by 38.8% compared with that of the polishing disk with no A/S powder addition after rough polishing, and the 4H-SiC wafer then obtained a damage-free surface with a <i>R<sub>a</sub></i> less than 0.4 nm after fine polishing by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP).
