Abstract: A retaining ring can be shaped by machining or lapping the bottom surface of the ring to form a shaped profile in the bottom surface. The bottom surface of the retaining ring can include flat, sloped and curved portions. The lapping can be performed using a machine that dedicated for use in lapping the bottom surface of retaining rings. During the lapping the ring can be permitted to rotate freely about an axis of the ring. The bottom surface of the retaining ring can have curved or flat portions.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus includes a plate on which a substrate is received, and a movable polishing pad support and coupled polishing pad which move across the substrate and orbit a local region of the substrate during polishing operation. The load of the pad against the substrate, the revolution rate of the pad, and the size, shape, and composition of the pad, may be varied to control the rate of material removed by the pad.

Abstract: A polishing system include a support to hold a substrate having a substrate surface to be polished, a carrier to hold a polishing pad in contact with the substrate surface, and a pressure applicator to apply pressure at a selected region of a back surface of the polishing pad. The back surface is opposite to the polishing surface. The pressure applicator includes an actuator and a body configured to be moved by the actuator into and out of contact with the selected region of the back surface of the polishing pad.

Abstract: A retaining ring for holding a substrate below a carrier head during chemical mechanical polishing includes an annular lower portion and an annular upper portion secured to the lower portion. The annular lower portion has a main body with a bottom surface for contacting a polishing pad during polishing, and is a first material. A top surface of the upper portion is configured to be secured to the carrier head. The upper portion is a second material that is more rigid than the first material. A thickness and stiffness of the lower portion is selected for a particular polishing environment to improve polishing uniformity near an edge of the substrate.
