See full text

An end effector is provided for conditioning a polishing pad. The end effector comprises a backing plate, a matrix material adhered to a first surface of the backing plate, and a plurality of crystals embedded in the matrix material an amount sufficient to prevent the plurality of crystals from becoming dislodged from the matrix material during pad conditioning. The plurality of crystals have an absolute crystal height distribution that is skewed toward zero. Methods are also provided for forming the above-described end effector.
