Slurry Injection Schemes on the Extent of Slurry Mixing and Availability during Chemical Mechanical Planarization [PDF]
In this study, slurry availability and the extent of the slurry mixing (i.e., among fresh slurry, spent slurry, and residual rinse-water) were varied via three different injection schemes.
