Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Applied Materials Reflexion LK is a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) system designed for 300 mm wafer processing. The Reflexion LK is used for planarization of wafer surfaces, including bulk copper removal. The Reflexion LK's process parameters include pressure, slurry flow rate, and platen/carrier rotational speeds.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The Reflexion LK has been used for copper CMP process optimization on blanket wafers and patterned wafers. The published work reports use of pressure, slurry flow rate, and platen/carrier rotary speed as operating variables.[1]
Published results on the Reflexion LK system report improved removal rate and wafer-to-wafer non-uniformity under selected operating conditions. The same work reports surface roughness reduction after process optimization.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP sits in the wafer fabrication flow after deposition or electroplating steps that leave excess material or surface nonplanarity. CMP prepares the wafer surface for later lithography and integration steps by flattening topography.
