  • Publication number: 20180250788
    Abstract: A method is provided to minimize travel distance and time between correction locations on a substrate when polishing a local area of a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer, using a location specific polishing module. A correction profile is determined and a recipe based on the correction profile is used to polish a substrate. A polishing pad assembly traverses between a first correction location and a second correction location using the combined motion of a substrate support chuck and a support arm coupled at a first end thereof to the polishing pad assembly. The chuck rotates about a center axis thereof. The positioning arm may sweep about a vertical axis disposed through a second end of the support arm. The combined motion of the chuck and the positioning arm causes the polishing pad assembly to form a spiral shaped polishing path on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7795473
    Abstract: A system and a method for preparing cycloalkanone are provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) oxidizing cycloalkane to form a mixture containing ketone, alcohol and unreacted cycloalkane; (b) adding to the mixture alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal carbonate to form a first mixed solution; (c) separating the first mixed solution into a first organic phase solution and a first aqueous phase solution; and (d) extracting the first organic phase solution by water to obtain a second organic phase solution and a second aqueous phase solution; and (e) distilling the second organic phase to separate out cycloalkanone. The method performs phase separation after a mixing step, and then performs water extraction, thereby effectively lowering the contents of the metal salts in the organic phases. Compared with acid-water extraction, the method not only provides better cooling effects but also reduces equipment corrosion, and therefore has the advantage of decreasing the need for sewage treatments.
