Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuit technology and discloses an electrochemical mechanical processing system for uniformly distributing an applied force to a workpiece surface. The system includes a workpiece carrier for positioning or holding the workpiece surface and a workpiece-surface-influencing-device (WSID). The WSID is used to uniformly distribute the applied force to the workpiece surface and includes various layers that are used to process and apply a uniform and global force to the workpiece surface.
