Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) pad with a micro-mold, and a production method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a CMP pad with a micro-mold, in which the surface of the CMP pad is uniformly formed so as to avoid the glazing of the polishing pad, prevent a change in slurry flow and maintain the contact area between the polishing pad and a semiconductor wafer constant, thus allowing the wafer to be polished in a continuous and stable manner, and permitting the semiconductor wafer to be polished into the desired shape, as well as a production method thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polishing pad for the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). According to the present invention, there is provided a chemical mechanical polishing pad for polishing a semiconductor wafer with chemicals containing predetermined components supplied between the semiconductor wafer and the polishing pad, comprising a base layer; and an abrasive layer which contains polishing abrasives capsulated with a material soluble in the chemicals and is formed to have a constant thickness on the top surface of the base layer. The capsulated polishing abrasives become free abrasives in the chemicals supplied upon polishing, and take part in the polishing. Capsulating the polishing abrasives can be performed by granulization or spraying. According to the polishing pad of the present invention, planarization polishing can be performed as whole. In addition, since a small amount of chemicals are used, it is advantageous in the economic and environmental aspects.
