摘要： An apparatus and a method for removing an adhesive bonded pad from a backing plate are disclosed. The apparatus and the method are particularly suitable for removing a polishing pad in a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus, however, they can be used for removal of any other adhesively bonded pad on a rigid surface. The removal apparatus can be advantageously used without causing any danger to a machine operator even when a slippage of the tool has occurred. The T-shaped removal tool can be operated in a rotational motion such that an adhesive bond existed between a pad and a backing surface may be broken by shear force. A minimal amount of force is required due to the large T-shaped handle used for the removal operation.

摘要： Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for cleaning a polishing module of a semiconductor polishing apparatus. Purge air flow can be supplied into the polishing module (e.g., directed towards a polishing unit, a shield, and/or other polishing components) to create turbulence air flow within the polishing module. An auxiliary exhaust can be invoked to exhaust one or more particulates removed from the polishing module by the turbulence air flow. A purge air flow cycle can be performed by cycling the purge air flow and the auxiliary exhaust between on and off states. One or more purge air flow cycles can be performed during a main air flow cycle where laminar air flow is supplied into the polishing module and exhausted using a main exhaust. In this way, one or more particulates can be cleaned from the polishing module.

摘要： A conformal disk holder for holding a rotating disk against a surface of a polishing pad is described. The conformal disk holder can be used for any polishing apparatus, but is particularly suited for use in a CMP pad conditioning disk. The conformal disk holder is constructed by a cover member, a flexural plate member and a base member. The flexural plate member has a center protrusion with a downwardly facing convex surface for intimately engaging an upwardly facing concave surface on a center protrusion of the base member. The intimate engagement between the convex surface and the concave surface allows at least a 5° tilt of the base member from a horizontal plane, and preferably allows a tilt between about 5° and about 30°.

摘要： An apparatus and a method for off-line pre-conditioning a conditioning disc that is used in a chemical mechanical polishing process are provided. In the apparatus, an upper platform for mounting a conditioning disc thereto and a lower platform for mounting a polishing pad thereto are engaged together under a pre-set pressure and rotated in opposite directions for a pre-set length of time. The apparatus is effective in removing loose particles from the surface of the conditioning disc such that the possibility of any such particles causing scratches on a wafer surface during a subsequently conducted chemical mechanical polishing process is eliminated. The present invention novel apparatus can be used off-line for pre-conditioning a conditioning disc such that valuable machine time of a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus is not wasted.
