Overview


IC1000 is a polishing pad for CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) handled by Nitta DuPont and is positioned as the industry standard for CMP pads. A polishing pad is a consumable that polishes and flattens the wafer surface together with slurry.

Its formulation is consistent, with a quality control track record of continuous improvement over more than 20 years. It offers a high removal rate and planarization performance that removes steps.

It is used in many CMP steps, including bulk Cu polishing, polysilicon, tungsten, STI (shallow trench isolation), oxide and buff polishing.
