PROCESS CONTROL IN ELECTRO-CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING |
摘要 |
<p>Systems and methods for detecting the endpoint of a polishing step. In general, an electropolishing system is provided with a power supply configured to deliver a current through an electrolytic solution. Signal characteristics of the signal provided by the power supply are monitored to determine a polishing endpoint. Illustratively, the monitored signal characteristics include current and voltage.</p> |
