[0080] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram which shows the schematic structure of a grinding|polishing apparatus. This polishing apparatus polishes a substrate W such as a semiconductor wafer, and includes a stage unit 1 , a polishing liquid supply nozzle 2 , a polishing unit 3 , a dressing liquid supply nozzle 4 , a dressing unit 5 , and a controller 6 . The workbench unit 1 , the grinding unit 3 and the dressing unit 5 are arranged on the base 7 .

[0081] The table unit 1 has a turntable 11 and a turntable rotation mechanism 12 for rotating the turntable 11 . The turntable 11 has a circular cross section, and a polishing pad 11 a for polishing the substrate W is fixed thereon. The cross section of the polishing pad 11 a is circular like the cross section of the turntable 11 . The turntable rotation mechanism 12 is composed of a turntable motor driver 121 , a turntable motor 122 , and a current detector 123 . The turntable motor driver 121 supplies drive current to the tu...

[0123] The second embodiment described next adjusts the rotation speed of the turntable 11 . Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

[0124] Figure 8 It is a block diagram explaining the control at the time of trimming in the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the controller 6 may control the turntable rotation mechanism 12 instead of controlling the pressing mechanism 53 . That is, the controller 6 still considers the fluctuation of the friction coefficient z, and outputs the control signal Nttset(i, j) according to the swing direction i and position j of the dresser 51, so that the cutting force F becomes a predetermined target value Ftrg. At this time, the controller 6 can use a table 61a that predetermines the value of the control signal Nttset(i,j) for setting the cutting force as the target value Ftrg for each swing direction i and position j of the dresser 51 .

[0137] The third embodiment described next adjusts the rotation speed of the dresser 51 . Hereinafter, differences from the first and second embodiments will be mainly described.

[0138] Figure 11 It is a block diagram explaining the control at the time of trimming in the third embodiment. In this embodiment, the controller 6 may not control the pressing mechanism 53 or the turntable rotating mechanism 12 , but may instead control the trimmer rotating mechanism 54 . That is, the controller 6 still considers the fluctuation of the friction coefficient z, and outputs the control signal Ndrset(i, j) according to the swing direction i and position j of the dresser 51, so that the cutting force F becomes a predetermined target value Ftrg. At this time, the controller 6 can use a table 61b that predetermines the value of the control signal Ndrset(i,j) for setting the cutting force F as the target value Ftrg for each swing direction i and position j of the dresser 51 .

Abstract

The present invention provides a polishing device provided with a dresser capable of cutting a polishing pad with as constant a force as possible and a control method thereof. The polishing device includes: a rotary table (11) provided with a polishing pad (11a) for polishing a substrate (W); a rotary table rotation mechanism (12) for rotating the rotary table (11); 11a) to dress the dresser (51) of the polishing pad (11a); press the dresser (51) against the pressing mechanism (53) of the polishing pad (11a); make the dresser (51) A rotating dresser rotating mechanism (54); a swing mechanism (56) that swings the dresser (51) on the polishing pad (11a); and according to the position and swing direction of the dresser (51), A controller (6) to control the pressing mechanism (53), the turntable rotation mechanism (12) or the dresser rotation mechanism (54).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a polishing device including a dresser for a polishing pad and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] A polishing apparatus typified by a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) apparatus polishes the surface of a substrate to be polished by relatively moving the polishing pad and the surface of the substrate to be polished while the polishing pad is in contact with the surface of the substrate to be polished. The polishing rate decreases due to the gradual wear of the polishing pad due to the polishing of the substrate to be polished, or the fine unevenness on the surface of the polishing pad. Therefore, the surface of the polishing pad is dressed (dressing) by a dresser that electrodeposits many diamond particles on the surface or a dresser that implants bristles on the surface, thereby forming fine unevenness on the surface of the polishing pad again. (eg, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [0003] The dresse...
