Soft pads are increasingly adopted in IC manufacturing due to low defectivity requirements of the final step of CMP in each layer. When pad material is getting softer, most of the materials show lower polishing rate. In this paper, we are reporting initial results on improving defects and stable rate with D260 42D soft pads.
