The effect of slurry p H, polishing pressure, and platen velocity on the material removal rate(MRR) and surface quality(RMS roughness) have been studied. The effect of polishing pressure on the AFCMP of the(1122) Al N surface has been compared with that of the(1122) Al Ga N surface. The maximum MRR has been found to be 562 nm/h for the semi-polar(1122) Al N surface, under the experimental conditions of 38 k Pa pressure,90 rpm platen velocity, 30 rpm carrier velocity, slurry p H 3 and 0.4 M oxidizer concentration. The best root mean square(RMS) surface roughness of 1.2 nm and 0.7 nm, over a large scanning area of 0.70×0.96 mm^2, has been achieved on AFCMP processed semi-polar(1122) AlN and(AlGaN) surfaces using optimized slurry chemistry and processing parameters.展开更多
