Notes:
Temperature rise has two-edged influences on chemical mechanical polishing (CMP)process: temperature-rise facilitates the chemical activity and the motion of the nano particlescontained in the slurry through which material removal ratio (MRR) is enhanced; to the other side ofthe same coin, however, it will soften the pad surface and subsequently reduce the MRR. Thus theresearch on temperature distribution of CMP process will be conducive to discovering the mechanismof polishing, and acquiring stable MRR and improving surface quality. With the help of theknowledge of tribology, hydrodynamics, and thermodynamics, flow equation considering thetemperature variation in the fine step of CMP process, wherein high surface quality is the mainconcern and usually operates in contact free state, is set up, based on which the temperature field incontact is investigated in detail by taking advantage of the simulation technique, and the heat energyproduction and transition relations are obtained. Due to the slurry used, a small viscous heating effectis acknowledged by simulated results, and the temperature rise is negligible in contact-free flows,which is very conducive to the promotion of the final polished wafer/disk surfaces. The research willsurely shed some lights in the mechanism of CMP and lay a feasible foundation for possible futureutilization
