Abstract
A slurry delivery system, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) apparatus, and method for using the same are provided. An apparatus for supplying slurry to a polishing unit may include a first feed line through which an abrasive may be supplied at a first velocity. A velocity-changing member may be connected to the first feed line, and/or a velocity of the abrasive may be changed from the first velocity to. the second velocity different from the first velocity by the velocity-changing member. A second feed line may be connected to the velocity-changing member and/or an additive may be supplied through the second feed line. A supply line may be connected to the velocity-changing member. A slurry, which may be a mixture of the abrasive and/or the additive, may be supplied to a polishing unit through the supply line. Accordingly, the slurry may be more uniformly mixed and/or supplied to a polishing unit.
