Abstract:
A polishing head for chemical mechanical planarization is provided. The polishing head includes a housing and a flexible membrane secured to the housing. At least a first, second, and third pressurizable chamber are disposed in the housing and each chamber contacts the flexible membrane. A first pressure delivery channel couples to the first chamber. A second pressure delivery channel couples to the third chamber. A first pressure feed line couples the first pressure delivery channel to the second chamber. A second pressure feed line couples the second pressure delivery channel to the second chamber. A first manually movable plug interfaces with the first pressure feed line to allow or block pressure from the first pressure delivery channel to the second chamber. A second manually movable plug interfaces with the second pressure feed line to allow or block pressure from the first pressure delivery channel to the second chamber.
