SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING DEBRIS DURING CHEMICAL MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447211 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING DEBRIS DURING CHEMICAL MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a chemical mechanical planarization system. - The system includes a rotating chemical mechanical planarization pad. - A chemical mechanical planarization head places a semiconductor wafer in contact with the pad. - A slurry supply system supplies a slurry onto the pad during the process. - A pad conditioner is used to condition the pad during the process. - A suction system removes debris from the pad, including the pad conditioner and slurry.


Original Abstract Submitted

A chemical mechanical planarization system includes a chemical mechanical planarization pad that rotates during a chemical mechanical planarization process. A chemical mechanical planarization head places a semiconductor wafer in contact with the chemical mechanical planarization pad during the process. A slurry supply system supplies a slurry onto the pad during the process. A pad conditioner conditions the pad during the process. A suction system removes pad conditioner debris and the slurry from the pad.
