3M™ Diamond Pad Conditioner C Series is a highly engineered chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pad conditioner that helps you deliver reliable performance in your critical semiconductor CMP applications. Refresh your CMP pad surfaces with 3M™ Diamond Pad Conditioner C Series. It also minimizes wear and maintains consistent asperities and consistent pad performance — for wafer after wafer. These diamond disk conditioners use 3M proprietary sintered abrasive technology for excellent diamond retention, helping enable longer life and better shape and diamond orientation control than legacy diamond pad conditioners. The improved consistency and smaller variation enable you to reduce variables and optimize your CMP performance.

Frequently asked questions

3M uses a proprietary sintered abrasive process that attaches diamonds to the substrate with both chemical and mechanical bonds to enhance diamond retention.
Selecting a pad conditioner requires compatibility testing to confirm that your pad, wafer and slurry combination will perform optimally. Our technical team has data packages for many common chemistries – tungsten to copper, poly to STI, and many more – that have been proven compatible with our products. We can also test custom combinations at our labs around the world.
3M™ Diamond Pad Conditioner C Series elevates our more than 25 years of experience with diamond pad conditioners to a new level of precision. Diamonds are placed in a precise grid at the micrometer scale, and oriented to maximize flatness, co-planarity and conditioning performance.
