MARKET OVERVIEW
A process for planarization of wafers is nowadays an integral part in every semiconductor production facility. This step is done before patterning the wafer to provide a flat surface for exposing different mask images on. Pressure is applied to the wafer cover usually with a slurry which will polish the wafer as well so called retaining rings are used to keep the wafer in position during the polishing process.
