Slurry supply system for chemical mechanical polishing

摘要

A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for semiconductor wafers that ensures uniform planarization of said wafers is described. Said chemical mechanical polishing apparatus comprises a slurry supply system that channels slurry through the platen and pad, and a carrier head with provision to hold the wafer. The pad contains grooves for uniform distribution of the slurry under the rotating wafer thus eliminating uneven planarization as in prior art.
