Combined with a colloidal silica-based suspension, MAMBO poromeric pad, flocked from a composite of urethane polymers and polyester fiber, is designed exclusively for CMP applications. Its thick, spongy coating (1,25 mm) is packed with multiple micropores ready to receive the fine abrasive particle (0,10 μm – 0,05 μm). The pressure exerted on the piece propels the suspension to the precise point of its passage. Impervious to water, the coating holds the grains on the surface, allowing them to move freely and become highly active. MAMBO promises sharp angles and a deformation-free surface. It is mainly used for ceramic, sapphire and semiconductor applications. For use with non-diamonded suspensions (e.g. colloidal silica).
