The present invention discloses a CMP device and methods that are capable of improving CMP processing through incorporation of vibration sources which produce vibrations in a direction substantially parallel to the working surface of the CMP pad. The CMP device includes a CMP pad dresser. Such a method can include steps of vibrating a CMP pad, CMP pad dresser, or wafer in a direction substantially parallel to a working surface of the CMP pad and engaging the CMP pad dresser with a working surface of a CMP pad The results of vibrating the superabrasive particles can provide benefits to both the CMP pad and dresser, according to several aspects disclosed herein. |
