ABSTRACT:
Chemical-mechanical polishing is conducted under aggressive conditions, preferably with aggressive conditioning of the polishing pad, to effect uniform planarization at high removal rates. It is preferred to condition the polishing pad with an abrasive diamond grit wheel and to vary the residence time of the diamond grit for different sections of the polishing pad.
