The Effect of Pad-asperity Curvature on Material Removal Rate in Chemical-mechanical Polishing

In chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), surface asperities of the polishing pad play a key role, for they transmit normal force and impart tangential motion to the hard, nano-scale abrasive particles in the slurry. It has been shown recently, however, that the soft pad asperities themselves often ge...
