ABSTRACT:
A pad conditioner of wafer planarization equipment includes a linear driving device for moving a disk holder up and down using a magnetic force. The linear driving device has an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, and a controller. The controller controls the power supplied to the electromagnet such that the electromagnet and permanent magnet produce a force of attraction and/or repulsion used to move the disk holder relative to a polishing pad of the wafer planarization equipment.
