[Prior Art] An integrated circuit is usually formed on a substrate (particularly a germanium wafer) by continuously depositing a conductor, a semiconductor or an insulating layer. With the continuous deposition and etching of a series of layers, the outermost or uppermost surface of the substrate gradually becomes uneven. This 0 uneven surface presents a problem in the lithography etching step of the integrated circuit fabrication process. Specifically, if the difference in height between the peak and the valley of the uneven surface exceeds the depth of focus of the preparation, the photolithographic etching apparatus may not be able to focus the optical image on the photoresist layer. Therefore, it is required to periodically planarize the surface of the substrate. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is one of the acceptable planarization methods. Chemical mechanical polishing methods typically require mechanical abrasion of the substrate in a slurry containing a chemical reaction sword. In a typical grinding operation, the substrate is held by a carrier head and pressed against a rotating polishing pad. The carrier head can also φ rotate and move the substrate relative to the polishing pad. As a result of this action, an abrasive between the carrier head and the polishing pad (which can be embedded in the polishing pad or contained in the slurry) planarizes the surface of the uneven substrate by rubbing the surface. Vibrations generated by the grinding process may reduce the quality of flattening or damage 'grinding equipment. In addition, the vibration can be excessively loud. , 1301642 [Invented vibration of the lining assembly rotating on the surface of the lining includes a backing set, one or one sleeve and the sleeve allows the backing to be opened. At least the balance ring is the housing of the ring. The telescopic content] In one feature, the invention is used to position a substrate on a grinding-bearing head. The carrier head includes a back having a substrate support surface, a body connectable to a drive shaft for rotation about the drive shaft, and a load path between the backing assembly and the housing. The absorbent material is reduced from the backing assembly to the housing. The practice of the invention may include one or more of the following features. The carrier head can be spaced between the backing assembly and the housing to allow the member to be balanced relative to the housing. The backing assembly can include a rigid substrate 5 and the rigid base to define an elastic film of a pressurizable chamber, a compressible film on the bottom surface of the base. The housing can provide a lining balancing mechanism that can include a balance bar extending into the bushing that allows the balance bar to move vertically while avoiding lateral movement of the balance bar. The balancing mechanism can include a top coupled to the top of the housing, a coupled to, and a bottom portion of the member and the absorbent material can be used to separate the top and bottom absorbent materials - a pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed on the top and bottom Above. The absorbent material can generally form an annular body. The mechanism can include a substantially planar telescoping ring that can be telescoped in a direction perpendicular to the plane: * + , S 1 to balance the backing assembly thereto and the absorbent material is attached to the telescoping ring. The absorbent material progenitor 4 can be located between the balance mechanism and the backing assembly.

Balancing 4 1301642 to the body' and the absorbing material can be followed by the extension of the person #n L τ such as a ring.

The invention A ^ _, his characteristics, purposes and advantages will be. It is obvious from the scope of the Ming and the drawings and the scope of the patent. [Embodiment] Referring to Fig. 1, at the time of polishing, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) apparatus including a damaged carrier 100 will hold the substrate. A description of a suitable CMP system is available in U.S. Patent No. 5,738,574, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. During the grinding, the carrier head 1 is pressed against the polishing pad by a predetermined load. At the same time, a motor drives the carrier head to rotate the substrate. Further, a slider can laterally oscillate the carrier head and the substrate on the surface of the polishing pad. The carrier head 1 includes a vibration absorbing material that significantly reduces the vibrational energy transmitted between two adjacent parts, thereby reducing or avoiding vibration during grinding. In general, the absorbent material has a significantly better vibration absorption characteristic 1301642 than two adjacent parts of the grinding apparatus, which are typically made of a hard material, such as a metal. The absorbent material can be a viscoelastic elastomer with little or no memory to provide good vibration absorption characteristics, such as the commercially available barrier absorbent material C-1002' is located in Zi〇nesville, Indianapolis, Illinois, USA. Manufactured by EAR Special Composites, Inc., No. 7911, Speciaity c〇mp〇sites. As shown in FIG. 1 , the carrier head 1 includes a housing 1 , 2 , a base 1 , 4 , a balancing mechanism 106 , a retainer u , and a substrate backing assembly 112 (also considered Includes base 1〇4). The housing 1〇2 is generally circular and can be coupled to the drive shaft 74 using a set of bolts (not shown). The drive shaft drives the housing to rotate about a shaft 107. A passage 126 extending through the housing 1〇2 for pneumatically controlling the carrier head will be described below. The housing 1 2 has a cylindrical bushing 122 adapted to pass vertically through the vertical bore 124 of the housing. The balance mechanism 106 includes a balance bar 15A and a telescoping ring 152. The balance weir 150 can be adapted into the bushing 122 such that the rod 15〇 is free to move within the bore while the bushing 122 prevents lateral movement of the balance bar 15〇. The shrink ring 152 can be attached to a flange 220 at the lower end of the balance bar 15〇 by an absorbent material 23 to avoid or mitigate the vibrational energy transmitted from the bellows 152 to the housing 102 via the gimbal 22 . The absorbing material 23 〇 is 吋 6 inches thick. A pressure sensitive adhesive (not shown) bonds the absorbent material 23 to the housing ι2 and the telescoping ring 152. The base of the telescopic ring, which is generally a planar ring, is attached to the substantially annular ring.

Specifically, the telescoping ring 152 includes a plurality of spherical projections 240 that are radially extended into a plurality of slots 242 in the base 104'. The groove 242 is filled with a viscoelastic absorbing material 230, and the top of the groove is sealed to the pedestal 1 〇 4, and the other portion of the ring 244 is sealed. For example, the absorbent material can include a bottom layer between the protrusions 240 and the base such that the vibrational energy transmitted from the base to the balance mechanism 106' can be reduced. Alternatively, the individual protrusions 24 〇 can be omitted, and the expansion ring 152 can be transmitted to the casing or the position of the vibration to the tenth, and the material is special. 1301642 includes a radially epitaxial ring and is trapped within the susceptor 104' and the ring 244 viscoelastic absorbing material 230. Some embodiments of the invention have been described above. However, it should be understood that changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the absorbent material can be any other type of abrasive device known to those skilled in the art such as 'the abrasive device can use a linear belt rather than a rotating belt. It is not possible to use a standard abrasive-free polishing pad (or a fixed abrasive 1 and a slurry with or without abrasive particles. Alternatively, the absorbent can be used in other types of carrier heads. The head may use a standard structure or base instead of an elastic film to support the substrate. A shrink-bearing film may be located on the bottom of the rigid support structure. The retainer may contact the polishing pad. Other locations on the interbody load path can also be used (such as between the retainer and the susceptor itself). Other materials with absorbing properties can be used 'as long as they can significantly reduce or avoid vibrational energy from the other end of the material. Usually The material may be a viscoelastic material. In addition, the shape does not rebound into the original shape of the absorbent material. In the case of deformation, the absorbent material should be able to rebound less than the amount of deformation, although the rebound is less than six percent of the deformation. Preferably, for example: for any isodamp c_1〇〇〇 series of absorbent absorbing materials, manufactured by the company, a visco-elastomer, a soft plastic material that absorbs the vibration of the material adjacent to the absorbent material. Use a variety of symptoms among the better. Example: Grinding preparation), the material is hard and compressible without the need to absorb the end of the film holder. When the absorption-AR or any other material 9 1301642, the thickness of the absorbent material can be varied to provide different negative carrier head rotation speed, polishing pad. Rotation speed, absorbing material: the best knot under the piece. A thicker absorbent material is used to improve the vibration absorption, although poor control of the relative motion between the substrate and the abrasive crucible can result from a too thick absorbent material. A thinner absorbing material can also be used, although if the material is too thin, it may not sufficiently reduce or avoid the transmission of vibrational energy. Therefore, other specific embodiments will fall within the scope of the following patent application. [A brief description of the drawings] Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a carrier head.
