What it is

The Strasbaugh GUR 1 is a polisher used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A CMP tool applies a polishing action to a wafer against a consumable pad while a slurry or similar process chemistry assists material removal.

The polishing mechanism combines mechanical abrasion with chemical action to reduce surface topography and improve flatness.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

CMP sits in the wafer fabrication flow after films or layers have been deposited or patterned and before later process steps that benefit from a flatter surface.

The process supports interlayer planarization, local topography control, and preparation of the wafer for subsequent lithography or deposition steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

CMP is used for planarizing semiconductor wafers during integrated circuit fabrication.

CMP is also used for removing excess material from oxide, metal, and other thin-film structures when a flat surface is required.
