Improved Chemical-Mechanical Polishing Slurry Composition and Method to Improve Polishing of Metals and Non-metals Using Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles
Reducing manufacturing time, cost, and labor by employing chemistry to transform a two-step process into an easily controlled single-step. Background: Integrated circuits are built of many layers. Each layer must be perfectly flat so that connections line up between layers and electricity flows properly throughout. Conventional CMP systems consist...
