Abstract

Embodiments of a processing pad assembly for processing a substrate are provided. The processing pad assembly includes an upper layer having a processing surface and an electrode having a top side coupled to the upper layer and a bottom side opposite the top side. A first set of holes is formed through the upper layer for exposing the electrode to the processing surface. At least one aperture is formed through the upper layer and the electrode.
