Especially after the semiconductor manufacturing process enters the sub-micron field, chemical mechanical polishing has become an indispensable process technology.
[0003] During the chemical mechanical polishing process, the wafer is adsorbed on the polishing head and in contact with the polishing pad. The polishing platform drives the polishing pad to rotate around the center of the circle, and the polishing head drives the wafer to reciprocate relative to the polishing pad, so that the polishing pad grinds the polishing head. At the same time, the polishing pad is polished with a dresser to remove the grinding residue on the surface of the polishing pad and repair the shape of the grooves on the surface of the polishing pad. Since the movement range of the polishing head and the dresser is between the edge and the center of the polishing pad, the movement range of the two overlaps, so collision accidents are prone to occur, which has an adverse effect on production efficiency.

[0042] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a polishing device, including a polishing table 10, a polishing assembly 20 and a dresser 30. A polishing pad 11 is arranged on the polishing table 10, and the polishing table 10 can drive the polishing pad 11 to rotate around the center of a circle. The polishing assembly 20 includes a polishing head and a polishing drive. The polishing head is used to adsorb and fix the wafer, and the polishing drive is connected to the polishing head to drive the polishing head to move relative to the polishing pad 11, thereby driving the wafer to move along the surface of the polishing pad 11, so that the polishing pad 11 performs chemical mechanical polishing on the wafer on the polishing head. The dresser 30 includes a dresser head 31 and a dresser drive, and the dresser drive is connected to the dresser head 31 to drive the dresser head 31 to move along the surface of the polishing pad 11, so that the dresser head 31 dresses the surface of the polishing pad 11. In the process of the polishing head and the dresser head 31 moving along the surface of the polishing pad 11 respectively, it is satisfied that: the distance between the center position of the polishing head and the center position of the dresser head 31 is greater than the sum of the radius of the polishing head and the radius of the dresser head 31.
[0043] Thus, when the above-mentioned polishing device is actually used, the polishing table 10 drives the polishing pad 11 to rotate around its own center of circle, the wafer is loaded onto the polishing head, and the polishing drive drives the polishing head to move until the wafer on it abuts against the polishing pad 11, and drives the wafer to move along the surface of the polishing pad 11, so that the polishing pad 11 performs chemical mechanical polishing on the wafer. At the same time, the trimming head 31 of the trimming drive also moves along the surface of the polishing pad 11, so that the trimming head 31 trims the surface of the polishing pad 11. Since the distance between the center position of the polishing head and the center position of the trimming head 31 (i.e., the center distance between the polishing head and the trimming head 31) is always greater than the sum of the radius of the polishing head and the radius of the trimming head 31 during the movement of the polishing head and the trimming head 31 respectively along the surface of the polishing pad 11, it is ensured that the polishing head and the trimming head 31 will never collide, that is, it is ensured that there will be no collision accident between the two, thereby avoiding adverse effects on production efficiency.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, there are two polishing heads, namely a first polishing head 21 and a second polishing head 22. The first polishing head 21 and the second polishing head 22 are driven by the polishing drive to reciprocate synchronously along a first preset linear trajectory and a second preset linear trajectory respectively. The first preset linear trajectory and the second preset linear trajectory both extend from the center of the polishing pad 11 to the edge, and the first preset linear trajectory and the second preset linear trajectory are collinear. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first polishing head 21 and the second polishing head 22 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the center of the polishing pad 11, and move synchronously in the left and right directions, that is, when the first polishing head 21 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11, the second polishing head 22 moves to the right edge of the polishing pad 11; when the first polishing head 21 moves to the left edge of the polishing pad 11, the second polishing head 22 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11.
[0045] It should be noted that the first polishing head 21 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11 when the right edge of the first polishing head 21 reaches the center of the polishing pad 11. Similarly, the second polishing head 22 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11 when the left edge of the second polishing head 22 reaches the center of the polishing pad 11.
[0046] The first polishing head 21 moves to the edge of the polishing pad 11, which means that the left edge of the first polishing head 21 reaches the left edge of the polishing end; similarly, the second polishing head 22 moves to the edge of the polishing pad 11, which means that the right edge of the second polishing head 22 reaches the right edge of the polishing pad 11.
[0047] Specifically in the embodiment, the polishing drive member can be a mobile motor, that is, the mobile motor is used to drive the first polishing head 21 and the second polishing head 22 to move synchronously. The polishing device also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the mobile motor, so that the controller controls the movement of the first polishing head 21 and the second polishing head 22 through the mobile motor, that is, the controller controls the acceleration, deceleration and maximum speed of the first polishing head 21 and the second polishing head 22 through the mobile motor. Optionally, the controller can be an industrial computer, etc.
[0048] In some embodiments, driven by the dressing drive, the dressing head 31 swings back and forth around a fulcrum O between the center and the edge of the polishing pad 11 , thereby dressing the entire surface of the polishing pad 11 .
[0049] Specific to Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the dressing head 31 reciprocates between the upper left edge and the center of the polishing pad 11 around the fulcrum O. The trimming head 31 reaching the edge of the polishing pad 11 means that the upper left edge of the trimming head 31 reaches the upper left edge of the polishing pad 11. The trimming head 31 reaching the center of the polishing pad 11 means that the lower edge of the trimming head 31 reaches the center of the polishing pad 11.
[0050] Specifically in the embodiment, the trimming driving member can be a rotary motor, that is, the rotary motor is used to drive the trimming head 31 to swing around the fulcrum O. The controller is communicatively connected with the rotary motor, so that the controller controls the trimming head 31 to swing around the fulcrum O through the rotary motor, that is, the controller controls the acceleration, deceleration and maximum angular velocity of the trimming head 31 through the rotary motor.
[0051] Specifically in the embodiment, a coordinate system is established with the fulcrum O as the center, the X axis is parallel to the first preset linear trajectory, and the Y axis is perpendicular to the first preset linear trajectory. The coordinates of the center position of the trimming head 31 are (x pc ,y pc ), the coordinates of the center position of the first polishing head 21 are (x1, y head1 ), the coordinates of the center position of the second polishing head 22 are (x2, y head2 ). See Figure 2 As shown, y head1 remain unchanged, y head2 Remain unchanged.
[0052] It can be understood that the distance between the center position of the dressing head 31 and the center position of the first polishing head 21 (ie, the center distance between the two) is:
[0053]
[0054] Wherein, R represents the distance between the fulcrum O and the center position of the dressing head 31, t represents the time, w(t) represents the angular velocity of the dressing head 31 swinging around the fulcrum O, v1(t) represents the moving speed of the first polishing head 21, and x head1 represents the X-axis coordinate of the center position of the first polishing head 21 at the initial time, y head1 represents the Y-axis coordinate of the center position of the first polishing head 21 at the beginning, and θ1 represents the angle between the line between the center position of the dressing head 31 and the fulcrum O and the X-axis when the dressing head 31 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11 .
[0055] In order to ensure that the trimming head 31 and the first polishing head 21 do not collide with each other when they move along the surface of the polishing pad 11, it is necessary to satisfy that the center distance between the trimming head 31 and the first polishing head 21 is greater than the sum of the radii of the two, that is, to satisfy the following formula:
[0056]
[0057] Among them, R pc represents the radius of the dressing head 31, R head1 represents the radius of the first polishing head 21 .
[0058] It can also be understood that the distance between the center position of the dressing head 31 and the center position of the second polishing head 22 (i.e., the center distance between the two) is:

[0061] In order to ensure that the trimming head 31 and the second polishing head 22 do not collide with each other when they move along the surface of the polishing pad 11, it is necessary to satisfy that the center distance between the trimming head 31 and the second polishing head 22 is greater than the sum of the radii of the two, that is, to satisfy the following formula:
[0062]
[0063] Among them, R pc represents the radius of the dressing head 31, R head2 represents the radius of the second polishing head 22 .
[0064] See also Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the dressing head 31 swings from the edge of the polishing pad 11 to the center of the circle, the angular velocity of the dressing head 31 accelerates from 0 to the positive maximum value Wmax, swings at the positive maximum value Wmax for a certain period of time, and then decelerates from the positive maximum value Wmax to 0.
[0065] When the trimming head 31 swings from the center to the edge of the polishing pad 11, the angular velocity of the trimming head 31 accelerates from 0 to the negative maximum value -Wmax, swings at the negative maximum value -Wmax for a moving time, and then decelerates from the negative maximum value -Wmax to 0. Specifically, when the trimming head 31 swings to the edge of the polishing pad 11, the angular velocity of the trimming head 31 is 0, and when the trimming head 31 swings to the center of the polishing pad 11, the angular velocity of the trimming head 31 is 0.

[0069] During the movement of the first polishing head 21 from the center to the edge of the polishing pad 11, the speed of the first polishing head 21 is accelerated from 0 to the negative maximum value -Vmax, and after moving at the negative maximum value -Vmax for a certain period of time, it is decelerated from the negative maximum value -Vmax to 0. Specifically, when the first polishing head 21 moves to the edge of the polishing pad 11, the speed of the first polishing head 21 is 0, and when the first polishing head 21 moves to the center of the polishing pad 11, the speed of the first polishing head 21 is 0.
[0070] Furthermore, the speed v1(t) of the first polishing head 21 in the first reciprocating movement cycle satisfies:
