  • Patent number: 6287192
    Abstract: A system for supplying slurry to a processing facility, includes a tank containing the slurry, and slurry supply piping connected to the tank to allow the slurry to flow from the tank to the processing facility. A sonic wave generator is disposed along the slurry supply piping, such that sonic waves are propagated through the slurry. The sonic waves prevent the clustering of small primary abrasive particles into larger secondary abrasive particles, or break apart any clustered secondary particles, which may cause fine scratches on the surface of a wafer during a polishing operation.
