Abstract

See full text

An abrasive free wafer polishing device utilizing an abrasive free chemical solution includes a workpiece fixture (11), a brush assembly (12) and a high flow rate fluid dispenser (13). The fluid dispenser (13) dispenses an abrasive free chemical solution to an interface at which the workpiece and the brush assembly come into contact with a flow rate of at least 50 ml/min. The abrasive free chemical solution and brush assembly (12) operate to chemically react with a metal (e.g. copper) on the workpiece and abrade away the reacted copper during a polishing process.
