Abstract :
This paper focuses on the development of a new chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) based on characterization of conventional pads. Based on new design rules, new pads are prototyped and tested with planarity in SiO2 CMP. The result is compared with the conventional pad and the effect of each pad design is also investigated according to design rules.
