２．Bellatrix Precision Polishing Pad – Application Examples
Case 1: Polishing of Semiconductor Substrates (e.g., Silicon)
Challenge:
Low yield caused by insufficient surface roughness quality.
Solution:
Switched to a suede polishing pad.
Result:
Surface quality significantly improved, receiving high evaluations from end customers.
Case 2: Polishing of Glass Substrates
Challenge:
Dissatisfaction with surface roughness when using urethane pads.
Solution:
Introduced the NP385 suede polishing pad to improve surface roughness.
Result:
Reduced processing time in downstream operations.
Case 3: Polishing of Soft Glass Materials
Challenge:
Surface scratches and burn marks.
Solution:
Adopted the N7512 suede polishing pad.
Result:
Improved pad flexibility helped prevent scratches and thermal damage.
Case 4: Photomask Polishing
Solution:
Developed N0092, a polishing pad with industry-leading flexibility exceeding that of N7512.
Result:
The number of surface defects on glass was dramatically reduced, resulting in improved production efficiency.
Case 5: Quartz Glass Polishing
Challenge:
Chemical resistance was required due to the use of colloidal silica slurry.
Solution:
Used the chemically resistant N0092 pad and optimized the adhesive tape selection.
Result:
Extended pad life and significantly improved productivity.
