Abstract
combining Eulerian and Lagrangian functions showed that the stress at the intersections of the fibers varied mainly from 0.1 to 0.01 MPa and was higher than the stress at other parts. An increase in viscosity led to a decrease in the areas with low stress, demonstrating that viscosity enhanced the stress and facilitated the removal of material. At the microscale and nanoscale, the stress of the abrasive surface exposed to the workpiece changed from 2.21 to 6.43 GPa. Stress at the interface contributed to the formation of bridging bonds, further promoting the removal of material. With increasing the compressive stress, the material-removal form was transformed from a single atom to molecular chains. The proposed model and developed green CMP offer new insights to understand the cross-scale polishing mechanism, as well as for designing and manufacturing novel polishing slurries, pads, and setups.
