Abstract

Embodiments of a polisher for chemical mechanical planarization. The polisher includes a polishing pad structure containing a first reactant therein, and a second reactant in a polishing environment over the polishing pad structure. The first reactant and the second reactant react endothermically upon contact when polishing a wafer surface between the polishing pad structure and the polishing environment.
