Abstract
An analytical solution to the population balance for the heights of pad asperities worn down during chemical-mechanical polishing of silicon wafers is used to calculate the chemical-mechanical removal-rate decay. This analytical solution is compared with experimental data from Journal of Electronic Materials, 25, No. 10 (1996) 1623-1627 by Stein et al. The model results agree with the experimental removal-rate decay results.
