Meldin® CMP Retaining Rings

Product catalog summary
Overview: Saint-Gobain's Meldin® CMP retaining rings are designed to enhance yield and productivity in semiconductor manufacturing by utilizing advanced material technologies. These rings offer superior performance and longevity compared to PPS rings, lasting up to six times longer and improving machine uptime while reducing costs.
Key Features:
  • Extended ring life and increased machine uptime.
  • Reduced CMP cost per wafer.
  • Improved Within Wafer Non-Uniformity (WIWNU).
  • Superior wafer edge performance and high dimensional stability.
  • Rapid break-in time and low particle generation.
  • Customizable wear properties and compatibility with all OEM machines.
  • Resistant to a broad range of chemicals and excellent cost/performance balance.
Material Specifications:
  • Meldin® 5301, 5410, 5420, and 7001 are highlighted for their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and compressive strength.
  • These materials exhibit high dimensional stability, superior wear properties, and outstanding chemical resistance.
Performance Results:
  • Meldin® rings demonstrate improved inner groove wear resistance by up to 30% over PPS rings.
  • Actual fab results show better WIWNU and longer life span.
  • Break-in times for Meldin® materials range from 7.5 to 8.0 minutes, compared to 6.2 minutes for Techtron® PPS.
Warranty and Liability: A 12-month limited warranty is provided, covering defects in manufacturing. Saint-Gobain disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and assumes no liability for advice or performance results.
