Abstract
A discussion of three different methods of monitoring CMP process parameters are presented that can help lead to improved manufacturing productivity. The three methods include data capture of down force from load cell output, direct pressure uniformity measurements from wafer carrier surfaces and wafer shape measurements of pre-polished wafers
