Abstract

In a previous CMP model, the effects of the slurry concentration of chemicals and abrasives on the polishing rate were quantitatively explained, for constant polishing pressure and velocity. That model is extended here to consider specific descriptions of mechanical abrasion, involving polishing pressures and speeds. Predictions of behavior are compared to literature data, leading to an improved understanding of the abrasive process in CMP.
