AbstractThe primary aim of this issue of MRS Bulletin is to present an overview of the materials issues in chemical–mechanical planarization (CMP), also known as chemical–mechanial polishing, a process that is used in the semiconductor industry to isolate and connect individual transistors on a chip. The CMP process has been the fastest-growing semiconductor operation in the last decade, and its future growth is being fueled by the introduction of copper-based interconnects in advanced microprocessors and other devices. Articles in this issue range from providing a fundamental understanding of the CMP process to the latest advancements in the field. Topics covered in these articles include an overview of CMP, fundamental principles of slurry design, understanding wafer–pad–slurry interactions, process integration issues, the formulation of abrasive-free slurries for copper polishing, understanding surface topography issues in shallow trench isolation, and emerging applications.

The use of orthodontic treatments in patients with temporary prostheses has been increasing, the purpose of this in vitro research is to measure the adhesive bond strength between orthodontic resin and acrylic surfaces by applying different procedures. Objective. To compare the adhesive bonding strength between orthodontic resin and acrylic surfaces under different application protocols. Methodology. Transversal, experimental, prospective study. In vitro with acrylic provisions, was carried out in the laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Universidad Veracruzana region of Veracruz. In the period of February-June of the year 2019. The sample was conformed by two control groups of specimens and four experimental ones, each group conformed by 20 specimens, in total 120 provisional ones were made in acrylic Nic Tone of quick self-cure. The tests performed by the ULTRATESTER machine were expressed in MPa. Later, the data obtained were processed in Excel tables (version) for statistical processing in SPSS version 24. Contribution. When comparing the pre-cutting protocol of acrylic surfaces with fine diamond bur and the protocol without pre-cutting, no statistically significant differences were found, therefore, this step could be omitted in clinical practice.

It is still in focus the problem of obtaining high quality polycrystalline materials by means of sintering fine diamond powders. The most important task of this problem is the consolidation or improvement of the processed polycrystalline diamond. It is worldwide recognized that the plastic deformation of the diamond particles performs the most important role on the diamond powder consolidation. In some cases, the contact and shear tensions reconstruct the compact structure. In this work the sintering process used a mixture of micro and nanodiamonds. The sintering process was carried out in a toroidal high-pressure device. The effects of nanodiamond addition and sintering conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties sintered diamond bodies were studied. The sintering parameters were pressure of 6.8 GPa and a temperature of 1850 K, and these conditions were maintained for 1 minute. Homogeneous sintered bodies were obtained, which have a Vickers' hardness over 40 GPa, and fracture toughness around 7.1 – 7.9 MPa.m1/2.

The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess changes in enamel roughness parameters before and after lingual bracket debonding. The lingual surface of 25 sound premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons was studied by 3D optical interferometric profilometry before and after debonding of lingual brackets following enamel finishing (with fine diamond) and polishing (with 12- and 20-fluted carbide burs). The roughness parameters tested were the amplitude parameters Sa and Sz, the hybrid parameter Sdr, and the functional parameters Sc and Sv. The parameter differences (after debonding-reference) were calculated, and statistical analysis was performed via a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Statistically significantly higher values were observed in all the surface roughness parameters of enamel surfaces after finishing and polishing, with the mostly affected parameter being the Sdr. Under the conditions of the present study, the finishing and polishing instruments used after debonding of lingual noncustomized brackets created a surface texture rougher than the control in all the tested roughness parameters.

AbstractThe polishing pad is one of the prime components in a typical Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process. The structure and transport properties of a polishing pad are critical in determining the particle and chemical utilization in a conventional CMP process. Our earlier paper investigated the particle retention and transport on two different polishing pads, IC-1400 and Suba-500, during copper polishing. In this paper, the results of chemical retention and transport of IC-1400 and Suba-500 pads during copper polishing are presented. The polish rate results from slurry-step-flow experiments with H2O2-glycine based slurries, where the concentrations of chemicals in the slurry are altered in steps during polishing, are correlated to the chemical retention and transport characteristics of these pads. It is found that IC-1400 has a higher chemical transport capability than Suba-500 pad, which is shown to affect the polish rates of copper.

In this paper, an experimental study was carried out to fabricate a new kind of ultra-fine diamond abrasive tools by means of sol-gel. The physical properties of the new diamond abrasive tools were evaluated in terms of the bulk density and hardness. The ultra-fine diamond tools were then used to polish granite on a vertical spindle grinding machine. SEM and optical microscope were applied to observe the surface morphologies of the diamond tools and granite. No obvious gathering of ultra-fine diamond grains were found in the new diamond abrasive tools, which exhibited a good wear-resistant ability in polishing. The granite surfaces polished by the new diamond tools were found to be basically smooth except few cracks originally existing in the granite.

At present, the chemical mechanical polishing is the only means for global planarization of an integrated circuit. After the node of the integrated circuit processing comes into 45nm, the diameter of wafer is 300mm, and the copper interconnect layer is above the 10 layer. In the same time the new low dielectric constant materials are used to the integrated circuit processing. That requires the property of the slurry used in the chemical mechanical polishing stricter. So the domestic and international companies carry out a series research works. Based on investigation and research for many years, the new alkaline copper rough slurry has been developed by the teachers and students in the Hebei University of Technology. The slurry has advantages as disadvantages. The composition of cost-effective slurry is simple and the effect of chemical mechanical polishing is good. But its stability is poor. In order to improve the stability, the compositions of the slurry need to adjust.The new alkaline copper rough slurry composed by abrasive, surface, chelating agent, oxidizing agent and deionized water. Experiments investigate the influence rule of copper polishing rate by the concentration of abrasive, the content of surface, the content of oxidizing agent and the content of chelating agent. The conclusion is arrived. When the concentration of abrasive is 4%, the content of surfactant is 10ml/l, the content of chelating agent is 10ml/l and the content of oxidizing agent is 5ml/l, the copper polishing rate keep 5000 Å /min.
