Abstract

An apparatus of chemical mechanical polishing with holding ring that defects do not created on a wafer. This invention is used to produce pressure air between carrier 24 and wafer 54 wherein the wafer 54, pressed by holding ring 30 whose shape is changed with the fringe of the wafer 54, does not hurl from the carrier 24. Since the wafer 54 is tightly pressed by the holding ring during polishing, and the pressure produced by the holding ring 30 on the wafer 54 is uniform, there is no defects produced on the wafer 54.

Description of the Invention (I) Technical Field The present invention relates to wafer honing equipment, especially to the use of chemical honing (CMP: Chemical Mechanical Polishing). Semiconductor wafer 'honing device. 2. Description of the Related Art It has been proposed to use a honing device that forms a pressure air layer between a carrier and a wafer as such a semiconductor wafer honing device. According to this honing device, the pressure The wafer is pressed by the pressing device of the wafer clamping device, and the wafer is pressed against the honing fixed disk for honing. In addition, the wafer honing device is provided with a holding ring surrounding the periphery of the wafer, and the wafer ring abuts the holding ring to prevent the wafer from flying out of the bracket. From the viewpoint of preventing wafers from flying out, the aforementioned holding ring is highly rigid and is used by being mounted on other rigid members. However, because the aforementioned wafer honing device has high rigidity of the holding ring, the wafer is pressed into the point holding state by the holding ring. Because the pressure is concentrated on the aforementioned point contact portion, there are disadvantages such as cracks in the contact portion of the wafer. The present invention is made in view of this situation, and its purpose is to provide a device Wafer honing device for round holding rings that cause defects. In order to achieve the foregoing object, the present invention is characterized in that the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 * 297 mm>) is applied to the compacted wafer and the guaranteed paper size (210 * 297 mm).

Description of the invention), rotating on the honing fixed disk of the holding head and 硏In the honing device for wafer polishing, the holding head is composed of the following components: a head body, which is arranged opposite to the honing fixed disk while rotating, and a bracket, which can move freely in the vertical direction and is supported by the front body. It is located under the bracket and blows air into the wafer at the same time, thereby forming a pressure fluid layer between the bracket and the wafer: a pressing device presses the wafer against the honing through the pressure fluid layer. A fixed disk; and a ring that can be moved up and down and embedded in the outer periphery of the lower part of the bracket to prevent the wafer from flying out of the bracket. circle The shape of the periphery is elastically deformed. According to the present invention, in honing, once the wafer peripheral edge abuts the holding ring, the holding ring is elastically deformed in shape along the shape of the wafer peripheral edge by the pressing force generated by the wafer abutting laterally from the wafer. 》 Since the wafer is in contact with the holding ring, the pressure of the holding ring on the wafer is dispersed, and no defects such as cracks will be generated on the wafer.

Description of the invention 60) The pressing force P generated from the original shape shown by the two-point chain line in the figure is deformed, and it deforms elastically along the shape of the periphery 5 4A of the wafer 54. Therefore, the aforementioned wafer 54 is The holding ring 30 is pressed in a state of being in surface contact with the holding ring 30 at an angle of 0. Moreover, if it is elastically deformed by the aforementioned pressing force P, it is not limited to resin, and a metal holding ring may also be applied. Next, the function of the wafer honing apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described. First, after the holding head 14 is raised, the suction pump 76 is driven to adsorb and hold the wafer 5 4 to be polished to the porous plate 5 0. Next, the holding head 14 is lowered, and the lowering movement is stopped at the position where the contact surface of the honing surface adjusting ring 2 8 of the holding head 14 abuts the honing cloth 16 = and the suction pump 76 is stopped to release the foregoing. For the adsorption of the wafer 54, the wafer 54 is placed on the honing cloth 16. Next, the air pump 48 is driven, and compressed air is supplied to the space 56 through the air path 78. A compressed air layer is formed in the air chamber 56. At this time, the supply of compressed air is adjusted by the control regulator 4 6 D to set the compressed air layer. The pressure is a predetermined pressure. Secondly, the compressed air from the pump 48 is supplied to the air back 6 2 through the air supply path 40, and the central portion 3 2 A of the rubber sheet 3 2 is elastically deformed by the internal air pressure. Press the bracket 2 4 _ Press the wafer 5 4 against the honing cloth 16 through the aforementioned pressure layer. Also, adjust the air pressure with the adjuster 4 6A, control the internal pressure to the required pressure, and keep the wafer 5 4 pairs The pressing force of the honing cloth 16 is constant. At the same time, the compressed air from the pump 40 is supplied to the air back 6 4 through the air supply path 4 4. The rubber paper size is adapted to China by the internal air pressure.

Description of Invention M) The outer peripheral portion 3 2 of the sheet 3 2 is elastically deformed and presses the honing surface adjusting ring 2 8 ′ and presses the lower surface of the honing surface adjusting ring 28 and the holding ring 3 0 against the honing cloth 16. The air supply path 42 supplies the compressed air_air from the pump 40 to the air back 6 6, and the middle portion 3 2 B of the rubber sheet 3 2 is elastically deformed by the internal air pressure to press the pressing member 36 to press the pressing member The lower part of 3 6 is pressed against the honing cloth 1 6. Thereafter, the honing fixed plate 12 and the holding head 14 are rotated to start honing of the wafer 54. During the honing of the wafer 54, although the wafer 54 is laterally moved by the rotation of the honing cloth 16, the honing is carried out under the state that the periphery of the wafer 54 is pressed against the holding ring 30, but as shown in FIG. 4, At this time, the holding ring 30 is elastically deformed in shape along the shape of the periphery 54 of the wafer 54 by the pressing force P from the wafer 54. As a result, the wafer 54 is pressed against the holding ring 30 in a state of being in contact with the holding ring 30. Since the pressure on the wafer by the holding ring 30 is dispersed, defects such as cracks will not be generated on the wafer. On the other hand, the honing amount of the wafer 5 4 in the honing is contacted by the contact 7 4 of the differential transformer 3 4 and the bracket 2 4 'according to the drop amount of the contact 7 4', that is, the drop of the iron core 70. The amount is calculated by a calculation device. Furthermore, once the honing amount calculated by the aforementioned calculation device reaches a preset honing process end point, the wafer honing device 10 'is stopped and the honing of the wafer 54 is finished. With this, the honing of one wafer 54 is finished, and in the case of honing the wafer after the second wafer ', the foregoing steps can be repeatedly performed.
