What is the core difference between a CMP finishing pad and rough/intermediate polishing pads? How should they be selected?

Published On: 2025年12月12日Views: 20

CMP finishing pads (Final Pads) are specifically designed for ultra-precise surface finishing. Their key characteristics include:

  • Finer surface structure: Porosity < 10% with higher groove density for nanoscale material removal control (< 50 nm/min)

  • Optimized elastic modulus (typically < 500 MPa): Buffers pressure through flexible contact to avoid surface damage

  • Enhanced chemical compatibility: Surface-treated for alkaline/oxidative slurries
    Selection Guide:

  • Rough polishing stage: Use high-hardness pads (> 1 GPa) for rapid removal

  • Finishing stage: Must use finishing pads to ensure surface roughness Ra < 0.5 nm
