In order to obtain ultra-smooth and damage free substrate surfaces for MgO single-crystal substrate with high polishing efficiency, an experimental investigation based on systemically designed polishing experiments are presented and discussed. Considering the structural characteristics and chemical properties of the MgO single crystal, the experiments use a polishing slurry containing SiO2 abrasives so that the process is performed under a combination of mechanical and chemical actions. The effects of the polishing process parameters, such as polishing pressure, rotational speed of polishing plate, and the flow rate and concentration of the polishing slurry, on the surface roughness and material removal rate (MRR) are analyzed. Finally, a recommendation is made for selecting the appropriate polishing parameters for MgO single crystal substrate, based on which a surface roughness of 0.3nm can be achieved on the MgO substrate in 20min of polishing time.

In order to achieve the smooth surface of diamond, several kinds of mixture oxidizing agents have been used to polish the single crystal diamond by a designed polishing apparatus. The existing of graphite and amorphous carbon has been found in the surface of diamond after polishing. The mechanochemical actions of oxidizing agents and the polishing iron plate have been proved. The mixture of oxidizing agents can decrease the polishing temperature so that the super-smooth surface of single crystal diamond can be achieved at lower temperature. The method provided is benefit not only to simplify polishing device and control the polishing process, but also to improve the removal rate and surface roughness.

Silicon carbide substrate has been widely used in semiconductor lighting (LED), integrated circuit and microelectronic, optoelectronic devices. According to the former study, a series of the fixed abrasive lapping platen has been developed. The material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness and surface flatness of lapping SiC single crystal substrate (0001) C surface are studied using fixed abrasive lapping. Compared with the results of the free abrasive lapping, the surface flatness of SiC single crystal substrate (0001) C surface after lapping with the fixed abrasive lapping is better than that of the free abrasive lapping, the MRR of lapping with the fixed abrasive lapping platen is higher than that of the free abrasive lapping and the surface roughness (Ra) of lapping with the fixed abrasive lapping is lower than that of the free abrasive lapping. The study results show that there are some scratches on the sample surface after lapping with the fixed abrasive lapping. There are some hills and pits on the sample surface after lapping with the free abrasive, but without scratches. The height difference of the surface profile lapping with the free abrasive is much larger than that of fixed abrasive lapping. The research results can provide a reference for studying the fixed abrasive lapping platen, the lapping process and lapping mechanism.

Na2CO3—1.5 H2O2, KClO3, KMnO4, KIO3, and NaOH were selected for dry polishing tests with a 6H-SiC single crystal substrate on a polyurethane polishing pad. The research results showed that all the solid-phase oxidants, except NaOH, could decompose to produce oxygen under the frictional action. After polishing with the five solid-phase oxidants, oxygen was found on the surface of SiC, indicating that all five solid-phase oxidants can have complex tribochemical reactions with SiC. Their reaction products are mainly SiO2 and (SiO2)x. Under the action of friction, due to the high flash point temperature of the polishing interface, the oxygen generated by the decomposition of the solid-phase oxidant could oxidize the surface of SiC and generate a SiO2 oxide layer on the surface of SiC. On the other hand, SiC reacted with H2O and generated a SiO2 oxide layer on the surface of SiC. After polishing with NaOH, the SiO2 oxide layer and soluble Na2SiO3 could be generated on the SiC surface; therefore, the surface material removal rate (MRR) was the highest, and the surface roughness was the largest, after polishing. The lowest MRR was achieved after the dry polishing of SiC with KClO3.

SiC single crystal substrate has been become an indispensable substrate material in the field of semiconductor lighting. But, there is no report on the commercial slurry of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) SiC substrate. In this paper, according to orthogonal design, the composition selection and optimization of CMP slurry based on silica sol (SiO2 abrasive) had been done in CMP SiC crystal substrate (0001) C surface by tests. The CMP slurry based on silica sol for SiC crystal substrate (0001) C surface had been obtained. According to the CMP test results, the material removal rate (MRR) is about 15nm/min and the surface roughness Ra is about 0.2nm.
