A new method of ultrasonic chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) combined with ultrasonic lapping is introduced to improve the machining performance of carbide silicon (SiC). To fulfill the method, an ultrasonic assisted machining apparatus is designed and manufactured. Comparative experiments with and without ultrasonic assisted vibration are conducted. According to the experimental results, the material removal rate (MRR) and surface generation are investigated. The results show that both ultrasonic lapping and ultrasonic CMP can decrease the two-body abrasion and reduce the peak-to-valley (PV) value of surface roughness, the effect of ultrasonic in lapping can contribute to the higher MRR and better surface quality for the following CMP. The ultrasonic assisted vibration in CMP can promote the chemical reaction, increase the MRR and improve the surface quality. The combined ultrasonic CMP with ultrasonic lapping achieved the highest MRR of 1.057 μm/h and lowest PV value of 0.474 μm. Therefore this sequent ultrasonic assisted processing method can be used to improve the material removal rate and surface roughness for the single crystal SiC wafer.

In this paper, according to the slurry ingredients obtained by former research, the influences of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process parameters, such as the rotational velocity of the platen and the carrier, the polishing pressure and the abrasive size on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness Ra have been studied in CMP SiC crystal substrate (0001) C and (0001) Si surface based on the diamond abrasive. The research results show that the material removal rate changes with the change of the abrasive size, the rotational velocity of the platen and the polishing pressure significantly, but the maximum of MRR can be obtained at a certain rotational velocity of platen, abrasive size and polishing pressure. The influence of the abrasive size, the platen velocity, the carrier velocity and the polishing pressure on surface roughness is no significant. Under the same conditions, the MRR of CMP the Si surface is larger than that of the C surface. This study results will provide the reference for optimizing the process parameters and researching the material removal mechanism in CMP SiC crystal substrate.

In chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of ultra-thin stainless steel, the oxidant of polishing slurry determines the material removal rate (MRR). In this paper, the influences of oxidant in slurry on MRR and surface roughness have been studied in CMP of ultra-thin 304 stainless steel based on alumina (Al2O3) abrasive. The research results show that, in the same conditions, the MRR increases with the increase of the oxidant C and the oxidant B, the MRR decreases with the increase of the oxidant A and the MRR is max with the oxidant C. It indicated that the oxidant C has a large effect on MRR in CMP of the 304 stainless steel. The research results can provide the reference for studying the slurry in CMP of ultra-thin stainless steel.

The method of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) using slurry which was ultrasonic subtle atomized was researched, and the system of Ultrasonic Subtle Atomization—Chemical Mechanical Polishing was established. The effects of polish parameters on polishing were also investigated. The results show that the experimental system can fully realize the expected function of polishing, the use of slurry is about one-tenth of the amount of traditional CMP, material removal rate can reach 113.734nm/min and the surface roughness is similar to the surface roughness in the traditional way.

Preliminary study on anodic-oxidation-assisted polishing (AOAP) of 4H-SiC (0001) using ceria polishing film was demonstrated. In the case of using deionized (DI) water as an electrolyte, rms roughness of 0.16 nm was obtained, which is almost the same as roughness of the surface finished by conventional chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). However, the polishing rate was very low and was 23 nm/h. In contrast, the polishing rate of 0.84 μm/h, which is equal to that of conventional CMP of single-crystal SiC or greater, was obtained when we used 1 wt% of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as the electrolyte, although the surface roughness increased to rms roughness of 1 nm order. These experimental results indicate that the polishing rate greatly depends on the oxidation rate of anodic oxidation and the balance between the oxidation rate and the removal rate of oxide by abrasive greatly affects the roughness of the processed surface.

The main objective of the present research is to find the influence of process parameters on the state variables (i.e., surface roughness and material removal rate) in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) of Titanium Diboride (TiB2) nanocomposite ceramics. This work adopted an L32 orthogonal array based on Taguchi method for design of experiments. Statistically evaluating the obtained data is carried out by using the analysis of variance, signal to noise and artificial neural network techniques. Then, the effects of process parameters on the surface roughness and material removal rate are studied. Finally, the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network is used to model the WEDM of TiB2 nanocomposite ceramic. The obtained results have demonstrated very good modeling capacity of the proposed neural network. Furthermore, analyses have appropriately presented the influence of process parameters on state variables.

In order to remove the cutting marks on the cutting surface of 6H-SiC single crystal wafer, experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of the abrasive characteristics (types, grain size, concentration and mixed abrasives) on the lapping performance of 6H-SiC single crystal wafer, then the removal mechanism of the abrasive grains in the lapping process was studied. Results indicate that the abrasives with larger grain size and higher hardness can result in a higher material removal rate while the abrasives with smaller grain size and lower hardness can achieve a lower surface roughness value. When the concentration of the abrasives is 7.69 wt%, a good lapping effect was obtained. Lower surface roughness value Ra can be obtained with a high material removal rate by using certain proportion mixed abrasives. Selecting appropriate abrasives can obtain a high surface quality of 6H-SiC wafer with a high efficiency.
