Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a laminated polishing pad that can be flatly bonded to a polishing platen even if it is large in size. This laminated polishing pad, comprising a polishing layer and a support layer with an adhesive member interposed therebetween, wherein the polishing layer contains 0.5 to 5% by weight of a hydrophilic substance; the support layer is a layer obtained by integrally molding a cushion layer and a resin film having a thermal dimensional change rate of 1.3 to 12.6%; the laminated polishing pad has a concavely warped form in the polishing layer side; and the laminated polishing pad has an average warp amount of 3 to 50 mm at the peripheral edge of the pad.

Claims (28)

1. A laminated polishing pad, comprising a polishing layer and a support layer with an adhesive member interposed therebetween, wherein

the polishing layer contains 0.5 to 5% by weight of a hydrophilic substance;

the support layer is a layer obtained by integrally molding a cushion layer and a resin film having a thermal dimensional change rate of 1.3 to 12.6%;

the laminated polishing pad has a concavely warped form in the polishing layer side; and

the laminated polishing pad has an average warp amount of 3 to 50 mm at the peripheral edge of the pad.

2. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of:

heating a polishing layer containing 0.5 to 5% by weight of a hydrophilic substance to 30 to 100° C.; and

bonding the heated polishing layer to a support layer obtained by integrally molding a cushion layer and a resin film having a thermal dimensional change rate of 1.3 to 12.6% with an adhesive member interposed therebetween; wherein

the laminated polishing pad has a concavely warped form in the polishing layer side, and

the laminated polishing pad has an average warp amount of 3 to 50 mm at the peripheral edge of the pad.

3. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of:

laminating a hot-melt adhesive sheet on the surface of a cushion layer of a support layer obtained by integrally molding the cushion layer and a resin film having a thermal dimensional change rate of 1.3 to 12.6%;

melting or softening a hot-melt adhesive by heating the laminated hot-melt adhesive sheet;

laminating a polishing layer containing 0.5 to 5% by weight of a hydrophilic substance onto the melted or softened hot-melt adhesive, to thereby produce a laminated sheet;

allowing the laminated sheet to pass through between rolls heated to 30 to 100° C. so that the pressure-bonding is performed; and

curing the melted or softened hot-melt adhesive of the laminated sheet, wherein

the laminated polishing pad has a concavely warped form in the polishing layer side, and

the laminated polishing pad has an average warp amount of 3 to 50 mm at the peripheral edge of the pad.

4. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of:

applying a melted or softened hot-melt adhesive onto the surface of a cushion layer of a support layer obtained by integrally molding the cushion layer and a resin film having a thermal dimensional change rate of 1.3 to 12.6%;

laminating a polishing layer containing 0.5 to 5% by weight of a hydrophilic substance onto the melted or softened hot-melt adhesive, to thereby produce a laminated sheet;

allowing the laminated sheet to pass through between rolls heated to 30 to 100° C. so that the pressure-bonding is performed; and

curing the melted or softened hot-melt adhesive of the laminated sheet, wherein

the laminated polishing pad has a concavely warped form in the polishing layer side, and

the laminated polishing pad has an average warp amount of 3 to 50 mm at the peripheral edge of the pad.

5. The method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad according to claim 3 , wherein the hot-melt adhesive has a melting temperature of 130 to 170° C.

6. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the step of polishing the surface of a semiconductor wafer by using the laminated polishing pad according to claim 1 .

7. The method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad according to claim 4 , wherein the hot-melt adhesive has a melting temperature of 130 to 170° C.
