ABSTRACT:
The disclosed polishing apparatus includes a lower pad and an upper pad. The upper pad is disposed over the lower pad and has an upper abrasive surface. The lower pad has an upper surface defining one or more grooves. When the upper pad is placed over the lower pad, channels may form in the upper pad abrasive surface over the grooves. These channels improve the distribution of slurry in the polishing apparatus. The upper pad may define a first polishing region and a second polishing region, the total area of channels in the first polishing region being greater than the total area of the channels in the second polishing region.
