Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing system includes a platen to hold a polishing pad, a carrier head to hold a substrate against a polishing surface of the polishing pad, and a controller. The polishing pad has a polishing control groove. The carrier is laterally movable by a first actuator across the polishing pad and rotatable by a second actuator. The controller synchronizes lateral oscillation of the carrier head with rotation of the carrier head such that over a plurality of successive oscillations of the carrier head such that when a first angular swath of an edge portion of the substrate is at an azimuthal angular position about an axis of rotation of the carrier head the first angular swath overlies the polishing surface and when a second angular swath of the edge portion of the substrate is at the azimuthal angular position the second angular swath overlies the polishing control groove.

Abstract: A method of chemical mechanical polishing includes rotating a polishing pad about an axis of rotation, positioning a substrate against the polishing pad, the polishing pad having a groove that is concentric with the axis of rotation, oscillating the substrate laterally across the polishing pad such that a central portion of the substrate and an edge portion of the substrate are positioned over a polishing surface of the polishing pad for a first duration, and holding the substrate substantially laterally fixed in a position such that the central portion of the substrate is positioned over the polishing surface of the polishing pad and the edge portion of the substrate is positioned over the groove for a second duration.

Abstract: Devices and systems are disclosed that utilize single-eye virtual reality adapters. The single-eye virtual reality adapter may include a body and a VR lens. The body may be configured to be disposed around a display screen. The body may have an inner surface and an outer surface, separated by a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The body may define a lens opening extending from the outer surface to the inner surface. The body may define a display opening extending from the first sidewall to the second sidewall (e.g., to slidably receive a display screen through the display opening). The VR lens may be removably coupled to the body. The VR lens may be disposed within the lens opening. The VR lens configured to prevent the lens from contacting the display screen; for example, the VR lens may be positioned at a distance d1>0 in front of the display screen.
