Abstract: Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is an essential manufacturing process in semiconductor fabrication. Chipmakers continue to adopt CMP for device planarization or surface finishing of substrate materials. Evaluating the environmental impact of the CMP process may contribute to the greening of the semiconductor process. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model-based evaluation method to determine the environmental burden of the CMP process. We adopted our previously reported material removal rate (MRR) model for CMP and modified it to incorporate the effect of the slurry flow rate and process temperature. The established model was compared with the experimental results. The environmental burden of the CMP process was evaluated by converting the electric energy consumption, slurry consumption, and ultrapure water (UPW) consumption into their carbon dioxide equivalents (CDEs). The results showed that the slurry consumption strongly impacted the CDE of the CMP process. The results of this study may help optimize the process parameters for a sustainable CMP process.

Contact of Nominally Flat Surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new theory of elastic contact, which is more closely related to real surfaces than earlier theories, and showed how the contact deformation depends on the topography of the surface, and established the criterion for distinguishing surfaces which touch elastically from those which touch plastically.

A chemical mechanical polishing model incorporating both the chemical and mechanical effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive model for material removal in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is presented in which both chemical and mechanical effects are taken into consideration, and the chemical effects come into play through the formation of chemically modified surface layer on the wafer surface that, in turn, is removed mechanically by the plastic deformation induced by slurry particles.
