CMP Pad Conditioners are used for dressing poly-urethane based CMP
pads. EHWA produces pad conditioners by three methods. BSL (brazed
single layer) Electroplated. NEW BSL type (double metal layer).
BSL products provide very fast removal rate as a result of the chemical
bonding of the abrasive grit to a stainless steel body and the resuiting
increased chip clearance. Electrolated products provide improved flatness
and better surface finish.
The NEW BSL type has a double metal layer. The first layer provides
excellent diamond retention and the second layer provides a clean
surface that minimizes micro-scratches. The NEW BSL type conditioner
combines the best features of both giving rapid stock remval while
providing a clean surface that minimizes micro-scratches and provides
improved flatness.
