Abstract

Retaining rings made of poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with two different slot designs were subjected to a 4 h wear test. During the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process, the PPS retaining ring induced a higher coefficient of friction (COF) by ∼0.1 than the PEEK retaining rings. In addition, the PPS retaining ring exhibited a higher wear rate than the PEEK retaining rings by ∼28%. Although the retaining ring slot design did not significantly affect the COF and wear rate, retaining rings with sharp slot edges resulted in higher pad surface abruptness.
