Symposium V: CMP and Post CMP Cleaning

CMP has been an enabling technology in IC manufacturing since early 1990s, and the technology continues to play critical roles with increasing applications. Our CMP knowledge at the fundamental level often reveals refreshing insights as we approach the sub-20nm or even sub-10nm technology node in the shrinking geometry while we also stack up the IC in the 3D dimension. CSTIC CMP session (Session V) is a forum for the scientists and engineers to share all the aspects of CMP fundamentals, the latest progress in CMP equipment, CMP related materials, new CMP applications, process optimization, reliability and yield improvement. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
1. CMP fundamentals and modeling
2. Equipment and metrology for process control and defect reduction
3. Consumables including abrasive particles, slurries, pads, conditioning disks, CMP cleaning chemicals, and brushes, etc
4. CMP and post CMP cleaning process optimization in front end, middle end, back end, and various substrates such as silicon wafers and wafer reclaiming
5. Emerging applications for 3D IC’s such as FinFET, 3D NAND, hybrid bonding, TSV, MEMS, and advanced packaging
