What it is

The Strasbaugh R 6 Y Polisher is a Strasbaugh model.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A chemical mechanical polishing machine removes material from a workpiece with a combination of mechanical abrasion and chemical action.

A polisher in this class typically holds the workpiece against a rotating polishing surface while slurry and process control govern removal and surface finish.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A chemical mechanical polisher sits in the planarization flow after patterning or deposition steps that leave topography on the wafer surface.

Chemical mechanical polishing supports downstream lithography and film processing by flattening the surface and improving local planarity.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Chemical mechanical polishing is used for wafer planarization and surface conditioning in semiconductor manufacturing.
