Abstract

See full text

A technique for utilizing sensors to monitor the polishing of a semiconductor wafer when a linear polisher is utilized to polish the wafer. The sensors are distributed along the surface or are coupled to openings along the surface to monitor the on-going polishing process. The sensed information from the sensors are processed in order to provide feedback for compensating the fluid dispensing when fluid platens are used and/or the downforce exerted by the wafer carrier.
