Abstract

Both process and mechanical of silicon substrate chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) are studied in detail, and the effects of experiments designed indicate that nano-SiO2 grinding particles seem to be acted as catalyzer besides the grinding action during the CMP process. This is different from the traditional function. As a result, in the condition of low pH, the nano-SiO2 slurry can be recycled. In the meanwhile, the removal rate can gain stability and pH value does not change obviously.
