Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for abrasive delivery (AD) polishing pads and manufacturing methods thereof. In one embodiment, a method of forming a polishing article includes forming a sub-polishing element from a first curable resin precursor composition and forming a plurality of polishing elements extending from the sub-polishing element. Forming the plurality of polishing elements includes forming a continuous polymer phase from a second curable resin precursor composition and forming a plurality of discontinuous abrasive delivery features disposed within the continuous polymer phase. The sub-polishing element is formed by dispensing a first plurality of droplets of the first curable resin precursor composition. The plurality polishing elements are formed by dispensing a second plurality of droplets of the second curable resin precursor composition. In some embodiments, the discontinuous abrasive delivery features comprise a water soluble material having abrasive particles interspersed therein.
