Abstract: The present disclosure provides a chemical mechanical polishing system having a unitary platen. The platen includes one or more recesses within the platen to house various components for the polishing/planarization process. In one embodiment, the platen includes a first recess and a second recess. The first recess is located under the second recess. An end point detector is placed in the first recess and a detector cover may be placed in the second recess. A sealing mean is provided in a space between the end point detector and the detector cover to prevent any external or foreign materials from coming in contact with the end point detector. A fastener used for fastening the detector cover to the platen also provides addition protection to prevent foreign materials from coming in contact with components received in the recesses.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) system includes: a monolithic platen within a platen housing, wherein the monolithic platen is formed of a single piece of material, wherein the monolithic platen includes: a first portion within a first opening, and a second portion within a second opening, wherein the first portion has a different diameter than the second portion; and a polishing fluid delivery module above the monolithic platen, wherein the polishing fluid delivery module is configured to deliver slurry to the monolithic platen during performance of CMP.

Abstract: An information handling resource blank configured to populate a slot of an information handling system in lieu of an information handling resource may include a form factor having at least some features in common with that of the information handling resource and one or more false fans mechanically coupled to the form factor. Each of the one or more false fans may be configured to have a first airflow impedance when airflow through such false fan is below a threshold airflow and have a second airflow impedance when airflow through such false fan is above the threshold airflow.

Abstract: An acoustical baffle includes a baffle housing, a lens, an acoustic foam, and a retaining mesh. The baffle housing includes a front panel having a channel, and first and second side panels. The first side panel is placed in physical contact with a first panel of a server chassis, and the second side panel is placed in physical contact with a second panel of the server chassis. The lens is in physical contact with the baffle housing, and fits within the channel of the front panel. The acoustic foam is in physical contact with the baffle housing, and includes an acoustic surface to absorb noise generated by cooling fans within the server chassis. The retaining mesh is in physical contact with the acoustic foam, and holds the acoustic foam within the acoustical baffle.
