Import Tips
• Specify CMP slurry chemistry (silica, ceria) and achieved surface roughness metrics for classification
• Document platen rotation speeds (50-150 RPM) and downforce control (1-5 psi) parameters
• Include material safety data for gallium arsenide handling and waste treatment requirements
