Abstract

See full text

A process is provided for polishing a silicon electrode utilizing a polishing turntable and a dual function electrode platen secured to the polishing, which can comprise a plurality of electrode mounts arranged to project from an electrode engaging face of the dual function electrode platen. The electrode mounts and mount receptacles can be configured to permit non-destructive engagement and disengagement of the electrode engaging face of the electrode platen and the platen engaging face of the silicon electrode. The silicon electrode can be polished by (i) engaging the electrode engaging face of the electrode platen and the platen engaging face of the silicon electrode via the electrode mounts and mount receptacles, (ii) utilizing the polishing turntable to impart rotary, and (iii) contacting an exposed face of the silicon electrode with a polishing surface as the silicon electrode. Additional embodiments are contemplated, disclosed and claimed.
