  • Publication number: 20230211451
    Abstract: An intelligent analysis system for measuring signals of polishing pad surface, a method and a computer readable medium thereof are provided. The intelligent analysis system includes a measurement signal capturing device and a measurement signal analysis device signally-connected to each other. After the measurement signal capturing device obtains the measurement signal of the measured polishing pad, an artificial intelligence model of the measurement signal analysis device is trained to classify the measurement signal to remove the interference caused by a water film on the polishing pad to obtain a better measurement signal, such that the intelligent analysis system can solve the problems of time-consuming, laborious and misjudgment caused by the classification of the measurement signal by the conventional technology.

  • Patent number: 11633834
    Abstract: A method for repairing a polishing pad in real time includes a trimming step, a detection step, and a reconstruction and analysis step. A surface morphology of the polishing pad is reconstructed through detection, and analysis is performed according to the reconstruction, to ensure that a surface of the polishing pad can recover its function after the surface of the polishing pad is trimmed, so that the polishing pad can be used effectively to reduce costs.

  • Publication number: 20220379433
    Abstract: Provided is a dressing device for a carrier. The dressing device comprises a dresser, a swing arm, a base and at least one damper. A first end and a second end of the swing arm are coupled to the dresser and the base, respectively, and the at least one damper is disposed inside the swing arm. Any axial vibration of the dresser or the swing arm during dressing for the carrier can be compensated or attenuated by the damper in an active manner properly, so as to make the surface of the carrier flatter and more uniform, which not only improves a removal rate of material and a polishing result of the surface in the subsequent chemical mechanical planarization process, but also prolongs the service life of the carrier. The present disclosure further relates to a polishing system for dressing the carrier by using the said dressing device.

  • Patent number: 11491608
    Abstract: Disclosed are a detection method and a detection apparatus for a polishing pad of a chemical mechanical polishing device, particularly a detection method and a detection apparatus for detecting a surface of a polishing pad dynamically. An isolation region isolated by a gas to expose the polishing pad is formed by the detecting device, and a detection is performed on the isolation region, such that the chemical mechanical polishing device is capable of detecting the polishing pad without interrupting a manufacturing process and the detection results with more accurate can be achieved. Thereby, the polishing pad can be repaired and replaced more timely.

  • Patent number: 11359906
    Abstract: A system and a method for uniformed surface measurement are provided, in which a sensor is provided to perform measurements on a carrier in a polishing machine, and a measuring trajectory of the sensor on the carrier is adjusted by controlling the pivoting of a sensor carrier carrying the sensor and the rotation of a rotating platform in the polishing machine in order to achieve uniformed surface measurements of the carrier and real-time constructions of the surface topography. This allows the polishing state of the carrier to be monitored in real time, thereby improving the efficiency of the polishing process. A sensing apparatus for uniformed surface measurement is also provided.
