Abstract:
A carrier head for holding a workpiece during processing of a workpiece surface is provided. The carrier head includes a carrier housing, a base and a pressure member. The base is configured to hold the workpiece and is movable with respect to the carrier housing. The pressure member is between the base and the carrier housing and is configured to induce the base to apply a predetermined force onto the process surface.
