Abstract

A chemical mechanical polishing pad is provided containing a polishing layer having a polishing surface, wherein the polishing layer comprises a reaction product of ingredients, including: an isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer; and, a curative system, containing a high molecular weight polyol curative; and, a difunctional curative.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A chemical mechanical polishing pad, comprising:
a polishing layer having a polishing surface, wherein the polishing layer comprises a reaction product of ingredients, comprising:
an isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer having 8.75 to 9.25 wt % unreacted NCO groups; and,
a curative system consisting essentially of:
10 to 60 wt % of a high molecular weight polyol curative, wherein the high molecular weight polyol curative has a number average molecular weight, M N , of 7,500 to 12,000; and wherein the high molecular weight polyol curative has an average of 5 to 7 hydroxyl groups per molecule; and,
40 to 90 wt % of a difunctional curative wherein the polishing layer exhibits a density of greater than 0.6 g/cm 3 ; a Shore D hardness of 40 to 60; an elongation to break of 125 to 300%; a G 30/90 ratio of 1.5 to 4; a tensile modulus of 100 to 300 (MPa); a wet cut rate of 4 to 10 μm/min; and, a 300 mm TEOS removal rate to Shore D hardness ratio (TEOS 300-RR /Shore D hardness) of ≥28.

2 . The chemical mechanical polishing pad of claim 1 , wherein the polishing surface is adapted for polishing a substrate selected from the group consisting of at least one of a magnetic substrate, an optical substrate and a semiconductor substrate.

3 . The chemical mechanical polishing pad of claim 1 , wherein the curative system has a plurality of reactive hydrogen groups and the isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer has a plurality of unreacted NCO groups; and, wherein a stoichiometric ratio of the reactive hydrogen groups to the unreacted NCO groups is 0.85 to 1.15.

4 . The chemical mechanical polishing pad of claim 1 , wherein the isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymer has 8.95 to 9.25 unreacted NCO groups.

5 . The chemical mechanical polishing pad of claim 2 , wherein the polishing surface has a spiral groove pattern formed therein.
