POLISHING WITH ENHANCED UNIFORMITY

摘要

A polishing head is presented. The polishing head includes a housing having top and bottom surfaces. The housing is formed from a single piece of material. The polishing head includes grooves disposed on the bottom surface and an inlet in communication with the grooves for coupling to a pressure medium supply to supply a pressure medium to the grooves. The pressure medium when supplied to the grooves exerts pressure on a template when attached to the bottom surface to provide back side pressure on a back surface of an article when temporally attached to the template.
