This silicon mold was subsequently removed by dissolution in a hydroxide solution.The diamond film followed the profile of the etching pits on silicon to form pyramids of identical in size and shape.The variation of their tip heights was in microns of single digit that was about one order of magnitude smaller than conventional diamond disks for CMP production.Moreover,the diamond film contained no metal that might contaminate the circuits on polished wafer during a CMP operation.The continuous diamond film could resist any corrosive attack by slurry of acid or base.Consequently,in-situ dressing during CMP is possible that may improve wafer uniformity and production throughput.This ideal diamond disk(IDD) is designed for the future manufacture of advanced semiconductor chips with node sizes of 32 nm or smaller.展开更多
