Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Strasbaugh 6 DE DC 6 is a six-spindle polisher with a 12-inch capacity.[1]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA CMP polisher removes material from a wafer or other precision surface by combining a rotating platen, a polishing pad, slurry, and controlled downward force from the carrier or spindle assembly.
A multi spindle polisher can process multiple parts at once while maintaining pressure, rotation, and consumable interaction needed for planarization and surface finishing.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA CMP polisher is used in wafer planarization and surface finishing steps after prior patterning or deposition operations.
The machine supports process integration where a flat, controlled surface is needed before later lithography, deposition, or metrology steps.

Frequently asked questions
What makes CMP different from ordinary polishing?General reference — not yet source-verified
CMP combines a chemically active slurry with controlled mechanical motion so material can be removed in a more uniform and processable way.
