Study on Stiffness and Conditioning Effects of CMP Pad Based on Physical Die-Level CMP Model

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pad stiffness and conditioning effects were evaluated based on a physical die-level CMP model, with pad effective modulus and asperity height as parameters. In one study, patterned dielectric wafers were polished using polymeric pads of different stiffnesses....
