There is no industry that is unaffected by the COVID-19 crisis, including the CMP slurry market. Silicon wafer suppliers are facing challenges due to volatile demand and supply. Apart from mission-critical projects pertaining to medical devices, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) and defense, other sectors are witnessing temporary shutdown for production & other operations. Companies are adopting strategic business measures in countries such as Canada, India, Brazil, and Pakistan due to the second & third wave of the pandemic.
Current restriction protocols and preventive measures being implemented are altering routine business activities in the global CMP slurry market. As such, these measures are necessary to ensure safety of employees and workers in factories & offices. Despite an expected decrease in the demand for smartphones and other gadgets, a steady demand for silicon wafers is helping to keep economies running during the coronavirus pandemic.

FCS Used for Characterization of Small Abrasive Particles in CMP Slurries
The fabrication of commercial integrated circuits depends on the physical and chemical properties of the abrasive slurry particles used to polish silicon wafer surfaces via CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) to near-atomic flatness. This has raised concern about the particle characterization challenge, which emerges from the combination of accurately sizing the nano-scale particles, while also identifying a relative few micron-scale aggregates. Hence, companies in the CMP slurry market are increasing their research in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS).
FCS is gaining prominence in particle size distribution (PSD) analysis methods, owing to its sensitivity to particles with hydrodynamic diameters in the nano-meter size range. Thus, the characterization of abrasive particles of smaller size in CMP slurries has become necessary as the feature sizes of integrated circuits steadily decrease according to Moore’s law.
