Polishing head for wafer, and method for polishing

A polishing head (200) for a chemical-mechanical polishing machine that holds a semiconductor wafer (150) against a polishing pad (140) has a chuck (295) with a pressure chamber (210) to apply a down force substantially equally to the wafer backside (152). An electrode arrangement (270) within the c...

Zusammenfassung:A polishing head (200) for a chemical-mechanical polishing machine that holds a semiconductor wafer (150) against a polishing pad (140) has a chuck (295) with a pressure chamber (210) to apply a down force substantially equally to the wafer backside (152). An electrode arrangement (270) within the chamber (210) is located coplanar to the wafer (150) to provide compensation to wafer or chuck irregularities by applying a compensation force having a distribution corresponding to the irregularities.
