Polishing method

摘要

A method for controlling the temperature of a polishing slurry during chemical-mechanical polishing, the method comprising circulating the polishing slurry (28) in a chemical-mechanical polishing apparatus (10), monitoring the temperature of the polishing slurry, exposing the slurry to a temperature control element (36) during the recirculation of the polishing slurry to adjust the temperature of the polishing slurry and maintaining the temperature of the polishing slurry within a predetermined range, thereby maintaining control of the temperature of the polishing slurry.
