Abstract

We designed and manufactured a prototype of a unique CMP machine, which can perform double-side CMP simultaneously in a sealed and pressure container as regarding effective action of the processing atmosphere around workpieces as important. Polishing experiments with single crystal silicon (Si) wafers (100) are performed by charging the container with various gases. As a result, the removal rates increased by up to 25% under high pressure oxygen gas atmosphere.
