Abstract

In this paper we ( i ) describe a model for the stress distribution across a wafer during chemical‐mechanical polishing, which is solved using I‐DEAS (a commercial software package) and ( ii ) summarize the predicted effects of carrier film and pad compressibility on polishing nonuniformity. Results indicate that ( i ) the Von Mises stress correlates with polishing nonuniformity, while the normal stress does not correlate with the nonuniformity and ( ii ) CMP uniformity improves with decreasing polishing pad and carrier film compressibility.
