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 polishing pad composition comprising a high modulus phase component and a low modulus phase component. The multi-phase polishing pads are very efficient and effective in providing high performance polishing along an entire polishing surface interface.
