Abstract
The process of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) can be studied using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) by intentionally using a high tip/sample interaction force. The nominal removal rate ofAl during AFM scratching is studied under a range of conditions including varying tip/sample force, solution pH, and electrode potential. This approach should be useful for CMP process development and furthering the fundamental understanding of CMP mechanisms.
