Through experimental study on the role of the free abrasive in chemical mechanical polishing, in this paper, four different types of abrasive which were chosen were used for the research of material removal rate(MRR) and surface quality of SiC single crystal . Finally ,Diamond abrasive which is considered was the most suitable for chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) abrasive of SiC Crystal Substrate. With diamond Particle polish pad polishing, it is draw a comparison result on the influence of the free abrasive and consolidation abrasive for the material removal rate and surface quality of 6H-SiC. The results showed that: the MRR is 140nm / min, the material removal rate if fixed abrasive chemical mechanical polishing(FA-CMP) more than three times that of traditional CMP, fixed abrasive chemical mechanical polishing pad, are involved in a large proportion of micro abrasive cutting, can greatly improve the material removal efficiency. And results from the test procedure, the FA-CMP surface has scratches after more technical problems for the polishing pad, the surface damage is relatively free of abrasive chemical mechanical polishing is more serious.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) had been considered as the most practical and effective method of achieving an ultra-smooth and non-damage surface in manufacturing SiC crystal substrate. CMP slurry was one of the key factors of CMP technology. In this paper, through investigating the changes of several core factors to evaluate the performance of CMP, such as the material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness Ra, 3D surface profiler, etc., the influence of various slurry and its content on the polishing efficiency and surface finish quality had been studied. The research results showed that different oxidant had different chemical action mechanism, also affecting the stability of CMP slurry and surface quality of specimen; adding suitable an oxidant to slurry could effectively improve the CMP performance.

2inch 6H-SiC (0001) wafers were sliced from the ingot grown by a conventional physical vapor transport (PVT) method using an abrasive multi-wire saw. While sliced SiC wafers lapped by a slurry with 1~9㎛ diamond particles had a mean height (Ra) value of 40nm, wafers after the final mechanical polishing using the slurry of 0.1㎛ diamond particles exhibited Ra of 4Å. In this study, we focused on investigation into the effect of the slurry type of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the material removal rate of SiC materials and the change in surface roughness by adding abrasives and oxidizer to conventional KOH-based colloidal silica slurry. The nano-sized diamond slurry (average grain size of 25nm) added in KOH-based colloidal silica slurry resulted in a material removal rate (MRR) of 0.07mg/hr and the Ra of 1.811Å. The addition of oxidizer (NaOCl) in the nano-size diamond and KOH based colloidal silica slurry was proven to improve the CMP characteristics for SiC wafer, having a MRR of 0.3mg/hr and Ra of 1.087Å.

The necessity to planarize ultra low-k (ULK) dielectrics [1], and the desire to reduce polishing defects leads to use of lower polishing pressures in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). However, lowering the applied pressure also decreases the material removal rate (MRR), which causes the polishing time for each wafer to increase. The goal of this work is to investigate effects of pad porosity and abrasive concentration on the MRR.

Sapphire has been the most widely used substrate material in LEDs, and the demand for non-C-planes crystal is increasing. In this paper, four crystal planes of the A-, C-, M- and R-plane were selected as the research objects. Nanoindentation technology and chemical mechanical polishing technology were used to study the effect of anisotropy on material properties and processing results. The consequence showed that the C-plane was the easiest crystal plane to process with the material removal rate of 5.93 nm/min, while the R-plane was the most difficult with the material removal rate of 2.47 nm/min. Moreover, the research results have great guiding significance for the processing of sapphire with different crystal orientations.

In this paper, material removal mechanism of monocrystalline silicon by chemical etching with different solutions were studied to find effective oxidant and stabilizer. Material removal mechanism by mechanical loads was analyzed based on the measured acoustic signals in the scratching processes and the observation on the scratched surfaces of silicon wafers. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes of monocrystalline silicon wafers were analyzed in detail according to the observation and measurement of the polished surfaces with XRD. The results show that H2O2 is effective oxidant and KOH stabilizer. In a certain range, the higher concentration of oxidant, the higher material removal rate; the higher the polishing liquid PH value, the higher material removal rate. The polishing pressure is an important factor to obtain ultra-smooth surface without damage. Experimental results obtained silicon polishing pressure shall not exceed 42.5kPa.

To improve low lapping efficiency of silicon nitride balls in conventional lapping process, fixed abrasive lapping technology for ceramic balls is investigated in this paper. Diamond abrasives and photosensitive resin are used to fabricate the fixed abrasive plate. The lapped ball surface is observed with microscopy to identify the dominant wear mechanism. The results show that the material removal rate of the fixed abrasive lapping is about 20 times of that of conventional free abrasive lapping process, and the roughness is close to the conventional one. The experimental results indicate that the fixed abrasive lapping technology is a promising process to instead of conventional free abrasive lapping process for ceramic balls in rough and semi-finishing process.

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.
