This paper investigated the effect of the pad buffing process on the material removal characteristics and pad stabilization during silicon chemical mechanical polishing. The pads surface were controlled by the buffing process using a buffer made by the sandpaper. The buffing process is based on abrasive machining by using a high speed sandpaper. The controlled pad by the buffing process show less deformation deviation and stable material removal rate during the CMP process. In addition, the controlled pad ensure better uniformity of removal rate than comparative pads. As a result of monitoring, the controlled pad by the buffing process demonstrated constant and stable friction force signals from initial polishing stage. Therefore, the tufting process could control the pad surface to be uniform and improve the performance of the polishing pad.

Cleaning is required following CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) to remove particles. The minimization of particle residue is required with each successive technology generation, and the cleaning of wafers becomes more complicated. In copper damascene process for interconnection structure, it utilizes 2-steop CMP consists of Cu CMP and barrier CMP. Such a 2-steps CMP process leaves a lot of abrasive particles on the wafer surface, cleaning is required to remove abrasive particles. In this study, the buffing is performed various conditions as a cleaning process. The buffing process combined mechanical cleaning by friction between a wafer and a buffing pad and chemical cleaning by buffing solution consists of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH)/benzotriazole(BTA).

신발 버핑공정에서 로봇 메카니즘과 같은 5축 마이크로스크라이브에 의하여 신발창 형상을 따라서 버핑 로봇 경로를 오프라인으로 프로그래밍하는 방법을 제안한다. 개발한 마이크로스크라이브 시스템은 턴테이블이 부착된 5축 로봇링크, 신호처리장치, PC 및 응용 소프트웨어 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다. 많은 조인트를 가진 마이크로스크 라이브를 신발창 표면을 따라 이동시킴으로써 로봇 경로가 만들어진다. 개발시스템은 마이크로스크라이브 암의 회전에 해당되는 엔코더 펄스 값을 환산하며, 이 각도 값을 신호처리장치를 통하여 PC로 전송한다. Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) 직접 키네메틱스가 마이크로스크라이브 조인트 각도 값으로서 글로벌 좌표값을 만드는데 사용된다. 마이크로스크라이브의 키네메틱스 문제는 D-H 표현에 의하여 효과적이고 시스템적으로 해결된다. 개발시스템은 D-H식에 의하여 계산된 좌표 값으로서 신발 갑피 위에 버핑 게이지 라인을 그릴 수 있으며, 또한 신발 갑피 위에 각 점들과 그 점에 수직인 벡터와 결합된 2개의 외곽 라인으로서 로봇 경로를 얻는다. 개발시스템을 FMS의 버핑 로봇에 적용함으로써 실제적인 버핑 로봇의 경로를 프로그래밍하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

We suggest how to program off-line robot path along shoes' outsole shape in the footwear buffing process by a 5-axis microscribe system like robot arms. This microscribe system developed consists a 5-axis robot link with a turn table, signal processing circuit, PC and an application software program. It makes a robot path on the shoe's upper through the movement of a microscribe with many joints. To do this, first it reads 5-encoder's pulse values while a robot arm points a shoes' outsole shape from the initial status. This system developed calculates the encoder pulse values for the robot arm's rotation and transmits the angle pulse values to the PC through a circuit. Then, Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) direct kinematics is used to make the global coordinate from robot joint one. The determinant is obtained with kinematics equation and D-H variable representation. To drive the kinematics equation, we have to set up the standard coordinates first. The many links and the more complicated structure cause the difficult kinematics problem to solve in the geometrical way. Thus, we can solve the robot's kinematics problems efficiently and systematically by Denavit-Hartenberg's representation. Finally, with the coordinate values calculated above, it can draw a buffing gauge-line on the upper. Also, it can program off-line robot path on the shoes' upper. We are subjected to obtaining shoes' outline points, which are 2 outlines coupled with the points and the normal vector based on the points. These data is supposed to be transformed into .dxf file to be used for data of automatic buffing robot. This system developed is simulated by using spline curves coupled with each point from dxf file in Autocad. As a result of applying this system to the buffing robot in the flexible footwear manufacturing system, it can be used effectively to program the path of a real buffing robot.

Copper (Cu) had been attractive material due to its superior properties comparing to other metals such as aluminum or tungsten and considered as the best metal which can replace them as an interconnect metal in integrated circuits. CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technology enabled the production of excellent local and global planarization of microelectronic materials, which allow high resolution of photolithography process. Cu CMP is a complex removal process performed by chemical reaction and mechanical abrasion, which can make defects of its own such as a scratch, particle and dishing. The abrasive particles remain on the Cu surface, and become contaminations to make device yield and performance deteriorate. To remove the particle, buffing cleaning method used in post-CMP cleaning and buffing is the one of the most effective physical cleaning process. AE(Acoustic Emission) sensor was used to detect dynamic friction during the buffing process. When polishing is started, the sensor starts to be loaded and produces an electrical charge that is directly proportional to the applied force. Cleaning efficiency of Cu surface were measured by FE-SEM and AFM during the buffing process. The experimental result showed that particles removed with buffing process, it is possible to detect the particle removal efficiency through obtained signal by the AE sensor.

Copper (Cu) has been widely used for interconnection structure in intergrated circuits because of its properties such as a low resistance and high resistance to electromigration compared with aluminuim. Damascene processing for the interconnection structure utilizes 2-steps chemical mechanical polishing(CMP). After polishing, the removal of abrasive particles on the surfaces becomes as important as the polishing process. In the paper, buffing process for the removal of colloidal silica from polished Cu wafer was proposed and demonstrated.
