Characteristics of Electrophoretic Deposition-Assisted Polishing Using Bamboo Charcoal

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study examines the feasibility of using high-porosity and conductive bamboo charcoal in electrophoretic deposition (EPD)-assisted polishing of silicon wafers and explored the influence of various parameters on surface roughness. EPD-assisted polishing with bamboo charcoal offers an alternative to the lapping process prior to CMP. According to the results, the best parameter combination obtained under the current experimental setting is machining time, 12 min; rotational speed of platen, 75 rpm; and voltage, 6V. EPD indeed contributes to more effective and efficient polishing, with better surface quality attained within a shorter machining time.
