Chemical mechanical polishing atomizing rinse system

摘要

A substrate polishing system includes a delivery arm having a nozzle configured to combine a rinse fluid and a gas into an atomized spray, and to direct the atomized spray toward a polishing pad. The atomization process causes droplets of the rinse agent in the atomized spray to become negatively charged. The negative charge causes in the rinse agent to adhere to waste particles and slurry, which facilitates removal thereof from the polishing pad.
