| Abstract | This paper presents the effect of the contact angle between the retaining ring and the polishing pad in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the profile of the material removal rate (MRR) around the wafer edge and on the within-wafer nonuniformity (WIWNU). This study demonstrates that the mechanical interaction among the polishing pad, wafer, and retaining ring influences the ability to achieve planarization from the CMP process. In particular, the purpose of this study is to understand the effect of the contact conditions between the retaining ring and the pad on the CMP process. In order to verify the mechanical aspects of the MRR near the wafer edge, retaining rings with different contact angles were prepared. Finite element analysis (FEA) verified the effect of the contact angle between the retaining ring and the polishing pad on the stress distribution around the edge of the wafer. The results of the analysis were corroborated by conducting CMP experiments with 200-mm blanket oxide wafers. As expected, the FEA results were in good agreement with the MRR profile around the edge area. Through simulations and experiments, we concluded that the contact angle is an important factor to achieve a flatter edge profile and the material removal profile around the edge of the wafer was optimum at a 0o contact angle. In particular the WIWNU was below 4% when a flat retaining ring was used. The results of this study make it possible to improve the yield of chip production by ensuring the retaining ring maintains perfect flatness without making any special design changes to the CMP equipment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
