Abstract

A chemical-mechanical polishing system which is particularly well suited for use in the manufacture of semiconductor devices or the like. The invention is directed to a self-dressing, polishing pad comprising a high modulus phase and a low modulus phase. The multi-phase polishing pads are very efficient and effective in providing high performance polishing along an entire polishing surface interface.
