Episode 1: Wafer surface management for better performance and stability

Recorded session

Introduction | Entegris Today

Antoine Amade, VP of sales for the Microcontamination Control division in EMEA/NA and president of the EMEA region

Decreasing Wafer Defectivity with Planargem^® Pad Conditioners and Planarcore^® PVA Brushes

Fadi Coder, director global applications - CMP

Our new R&D capabilities for CMP applications will be described. Our combined expertise in silicon carbide (SiC) and CMP led to the development of Planargem pad conditioners, a high performing solution that eliminates scratches, ensures more stability, and increases pad lifetime up to 2.5x. Overall, it results in a 30% cost saving with less tool downtime. Learn how our Planarcore brush series delivers better cleaning performance and >2x brush lifetime. Also hear about our brush roadmap and our new “SP” brush design.

Q&A

Formulation Characteristics for Proper post-CMP Cleaning and Cost Efficiency

Complicated interactions occur at the wafer surface. A proper chemistry needs to increase performance in organic residue removal and corrosion control. This session will explain how PlanarClean^® liquid wafer cleaning chemistry exhibits lower defects and organic residue over traditional cleans, and how this cost-effective solution can be implemented.
