Abstract

A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad of the present invention, comprising the steps of: forming a polishing layer by providing a light transmitting region in an opening A of a polishing region; providing an adhesive member X on one side of the polishing layer, wherein the adhesive member X contains a hot-melt adhesive; providing a removable protective member on a part of the adhesive member X corresponding to the light transmitting region; bonding a support layer to the adhesive member X on which the removable protective member is provided; and removing a part of the support layer corresponding to the light transmitting region and also removing the removable protective member to form an opening B.

Claims (17)

1. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of: forming a polishing layer by providing a light transmitting region in an opening A of a polishing region; providing an adhesive member X on one side of the polishing layer, wherein the adhesive member X contains a hot-melt adhesive; providing a removable protective member on a part of the adhesive member X corresponding to the light transmitting region; bonding a support layer to the adhesive member X on which the removable protective member is provided; and removing a part of the support layer corresponding to the light transmitting region and also removing the removable protective member to form an opening B.

2. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of: forming a polishing layer by providing a light transmitting region in an opening A of a polishing region; bonding the polishing layer and an intermediate layer together with an adhesive member X containing a hot-melt adhesive; providing an adhesive member Y on the intermediate layer; providing a removable protective member on a part of the adhesive member Y corresponding to the light transmitting region; bonding a support layer to the adhesive member Y on which the removable protective member is provided; and removing a part of the support layer corresponding to the light transmitting region and also removing the removable protective member to form an opening B.

3. A method for manufacturing a laminated polishing pad, comprising the steps of: forming a polishing layer by providing a light transmitting region in an opening A of a polishing region; bonding the polishing layer and an intermediate layer together with an adhesive member X containing a hot-melt adhesive; providing a removable protective member on a part of the intermediate layer corresponding to the light transmitting region; providing an adhesive member Y on the intermediate layer on which the removable protective member is provided; bonding a support layer to the adhesive member Y; and removing parts of the adhesive member Y and the support layer corresponding to the light transmitting region and also removing the removable protective member to form an opening B.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the intermediate layer is a resin film.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member X is an adhesive layer containing a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape comprising a substrate and adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layers contain a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive, and the polyester-based hot-melt adhesive contains 100 parts by weight of a polyester resin as a base polymer and 2 to 10 parts by weight of an epoxy resin having two or more glycidyl groups per molecule.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the polyester resin is a crystalline polyester resin.

7. A laminated polishing pad obtained by the method according to claim 1 .

8. A method for producing a semiconductor device, comprising the step of polishing a surface of a semiconductor wafer with the laminated polishing pad according to claim 7 .

9. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the intermediate layer is a resin film.

10. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive member X is an adhesive layer containing a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape comprising a substrate and adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layers contain a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive, and the polyester-based hot-melt adhesive contains 100 parts by weight of a polyester resin as a base polymer and 2 to 10 parts by weight of an epoxy resin having two or more glycidyl groups per molecule.

11. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive member X is an adhesive layer containing a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape comprising a substrate and adhesive layers provided on both sides of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layers contain a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive, and the polyester-based hot-melt adhesive contains 100 parts by weight of a polyester resin as a base polymer and 2 to 10 parts by weight of an epoxy resin having two or more glycidyl groups per molecule.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the polyester resin is a crystalline polyester resin.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the polyester resin is a crystalline polyester resin.

14. A laminated polishing pad obtained by the method according to claim 2 .

15. A laminated polishing pad obtained by the method according to claim 3 .

16. A method for producing a semiconductor device, comprising the step of polishing a surface of a semiconductor wafer with the laminated polishing pad according to claim 14 .

17. A method for producing a semiconductor device, comprising the step of polishing a surface of a semiconductor wafer with the laminated polishing pad according to claim 15 .
