Abstract

To establish a high-efficiency and high-quality polishing process by controlling the workpiece environment, a prototype chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) machine that can perform double-side CMP simultaneously in a sealed pressure chamber was developed. Using this new machine, polishing experiments on single crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) wafers were carried out. The results showed that applying a highly pressurized O2 gas and ultraviolet light irradiation were effective in SiC CMP.
