Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a method of removing material on a substrate. An exemplary method includes rotating a substrate about a first axis in a first direction and urging a surface of the substrate against a polishing surface of a polishing pad while rotating the substrate, wherein rotating the substrate about the first axis includes rotating the substrate a first angle at a first rotation rate, and then rotating the substrate a second angle at a second rotation rate, and the first rotation rate is different from the second rotation rate.
