Abstract: A system and method for chemical mechanical polishing (“CMP”) pad replacement on a CMP processing tool. A platen carrier having two or more platens is positioned within a platen cleaning process module. Each platen includes a CMP pad affixed thereto, and is capable of being independently rotated during operations. When a pad requires replacement, the platen carrier rotates towards a pad tearer tool, which extends and pivots to remove the used pad from the platen as the carrier rotates. A pad tape replacement module is positioned above the CMP tool with pad tape extending from a supply roll to a recycle roll. As the pad tape transits through the module, a backing of the tape is separated and recycled. A pad disposed in the pad tape is then applied to a platen via a pressure roller.

Abstract: A supplying system of adding gas into the polishing slurry and method thereof are described. The supplying system includes a slurry container, a gas-mixed container, an adjusting device, a first flow controller, and a second flow controller. The supplying system utilizes the adjusting device to mix the polishing slurry with gas for forming the gas-mixed polishing slurry. The supplying system of adding the gas into the polishing slurry and method thereof are capable of increasing the material removal rate of the surface of the substrate in order to improve the processing quality of the substrate.

Abstract: A detachable structure is designed for detachably mounting a disk drive on a mounting frame. A clasping means is mounted on one side of the disk drive for positioning the disk drive on the mounting frame. For the purpose of detaching the disk drive, the elastic protruding part of the clasping means is pushed inwardly by pushing the push-pull control means such that the push-resisting part of the push-pull control means can push out the disk drive directly.

Abstract: A screwless device for attaching and detaching a disk drive comprises a base and a frame body. The base comprises at least a rotation bracket, an elastic location plate, a fixing plate, and protrudent joints. Two first axle holes are located on both sides of the rotation bracket respectively for being inserted by an axle to which a torsion spring is sleeved. A buckle hole is formed on the elastic location plate. The frame body is designed for being attached to the base. The frame body comprises: a mounting chamber for holding the disk drive; an axle-connecting part; and a buckle means mounted on the same side of the frame body as the elastic location plate. Second axle holes and buckle notches are formed on the axle-connecting part. Several open trenches are formed in opposition to the protrudent joints.
