The traditional solid alumina abrasive has been widely used in commercial slurries. But it is easy to cause polishing scratches due to its dense solid structure. The morphology of the abrasives can also impact on the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) performances. To improve the CMP performances of the hard disk substrate, rods-like porous alumina and flower-like porous alumina abrasives were prepared and their chemical mechanical polishing behavior investigated. The results showed that the porous alumina abrasives with different morphologies exhibited lower topographical variations and surface roughness than solid alumina abrasives under the same testing conditions.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is the effective technology which obtains high accuracy surface of hard disk substrate with nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) coating. The slurry is significant factor in hard disk substrate CMP. Colloidal silica-based alkaline slurry was prepared based on negative pressure vortex method. The effects of slurry parameters such as abrasive concentration, organic alkali concentration and oxidant concentration on material removal rate and surface characteristics were investigated. The experimental result indicated that the abrasive concentration was 20wt%, the slurry pH value was 11.2, the oxidant concentration was 15ml/L, improved surface roughness and polishing efficiency of hard disk substrates, a smooth surface was obtained and micro scratches could hardly be observed.

The uniformity of the wafer in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is vital to the ultra-fine and high integration of semiconductor structures. In particular, the uniformity of the polishing pad corresponding to the tool directly affects the polishing uniformity and wafer shape. In this study, the profile shape of a CMP pad was predicted through a kinematic simulation based on the trajectory density of the diamond abrasives of the diamond conditioner disc. The kinematic prediction was found to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured pad profile shape. Based on this, the shape error of the pad could be maintained within 10 μm even after performing the pad conditioning process for more than 2 h, through the overhang of the conditioner.
