Abstract
The feasibility of the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to achieve atomic scale smoothening of wide band gap (WBG) semiconductor substrates has been studied. Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process, in which high polishing rate vs pressure slopes are obtained due to additives in the slurry. In this article, we discuss the CMP processing of WBG substrates and device fabrication on the processed substrates. Unique characterization methods are used to determine the changes on the wafer surfaces due to chemical effects of the slurry so that mechanisms for CMP can be delineated.
