NexPlanar, formerly NeoPad Technologies, builds chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pads for the semiconductor device industry, offering a full spectrum of ultra-soft to hard pads with molded grooves that minimize defectivity while improving polish quality and consistency. NexPlanar uses nano-domain technology that improves planarity and across-wafer uniformity and can be utilized to customize the CMP pads for specific applications. NexPlanar's nano-lubricants and molded groove technologies allow for low stress CMP (required for advanced CMP applications), result in an order of magnitude fewer defects, low slurry consumption processing and lower overall cost of ownership.
