Abstract

A method for manufacturing integrated circuits on a wafer includes providing a facility-supplied room temperature solution; controlling the temperature of the facility-supplied room temperature solution to a desired temperature set point to generate a rinse solution; and rinsing a polishing pad using the rinse solution. The wafer is then polished by means of a chemical mechanical polishing process.
