Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides methods for making a pre-conditioned chemical mechanical (CMP) polishing pad having a pad surface microtexture effective for polishing comprising grinding the surface of the CMP polishing pad having a radius with a rotary grinder while it is held in place on a flat bed platen surface, the rotary grinder having a grinding surface disposed parallel to or substantially parallel to the surface of the flat bed platen and made of a porous abrasive material, wherein the resulting CMP polishing pad has a surface roughness of from 0.01 μm to 25 μm, Sq. The present invention also provides a CMP polishing pad having a series of visibly intersecting arcs on the polishing layer surface, the intersecting arcs having a radius of curvature equal to or greater than half of the radius of curvature of the pad and extending all the way around the surface of the pad in radial symmetry around the center point of the pad.
