Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a method and device for polishing the surface of reaction sintered silicon carbide. BACKGROUND

[0002] Reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic is a high-temperature, high-hardness and high-corrosion-resistant material with excellent performance, and is widely used in the fields of aerospace, semiconductors, chemical industry and the like. However, due to the high hardness and brittleness of silicon carbide ceramic, traditional polishing and grinding methods are prone to cause surface cracking and high roughness, affecting the mechanical properties and service life. The polishing liquid in the prior art is usually prepared in advance, and therefore has strict requirements on the viscosity, chemical stability and abrasive dispersion state of the polishing liquid, and also causes a series of problems in storage and transportation. Even so, the change in the state of the polishing liquid cannot be avoided, thereby affecting the polishing effect. Therefore, in the field of reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic, a new polishing method and polishing liquid are urgently needed to ensure the polishing effect. SUMMARY

[0003] The application provides a method and device for polishing the surface of reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic products, which can improve the surface quality and mechanical properties of the products.

[0004] The method for polishing the surface of reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic products comprises a polishing process, in which the silicon carbide ceramic product to be polished is polished for 30-40 min at room temperature and under the condition of pH=2-3 by using abrasive particles and a polishing liquid.

[0005] The polishing liquid is a Fenton auxiliary polishing liquid, which is composed of an A solution and a B solution. The A solution is a 10-12 wt% hydrogen peroxide solution, and the B solution is composed of an acidic silica sol, diamond, ferrous chloride and water. The viscosity of the B solution is 500-1000 cSt. The viscosity of the B solution needs to be within a suitable range. If the viscosity is lower than the minimum value, the abrasive particles will excessively diffuse during the polishing process, causing uneven chemical reaction and affecting the surface quality. Moreover, the viscosity that is too low will easily cause stratification, and the abrasive particles will be deposited at the bottom, resulting in uneven composition of the polishing liquid, which is more difficult to control during dropping, and affects the polishing quality and stability. On the contrary, if the viscosity is higher than 1000 cSt, the B solution will be difficult to uniformly distributed on the surface of the material under the action of the machine, causing uneven material removal and uneven surface, increasing mechanical damage and causing fine scratches. In addition, the viscosity that is too high will also make it difficult for the abrasive particles to be uniformly dispersed, resulting in waste of raw materials.

[0006] The specific steps of the polishing process are: first, uniformly spray the to-be-polished area of the silicon carbide ceramic product with the B solution; then start polishing, and drop the A solution into the polishing disc during the polishing process. Unlike traditional polishing liquid and traditional polishing methods, the traditional polishing liquid is usually a solution prepared in advance, so there are strict requirements for the viscosity, chemical stability and abrasive dispersion state of the solution. The Fenton-assisted polishing liquid is prepared on site before polishing, and the hydrogen peroxide solution cannot be mixed with other components, so each component remains independent before the polishing liquid is prepared. Therefore, the Fenton-assisted polishing liquid has lower requirements for viscosity, chemical stability and abrasive dispersion state. During the polishing process, the A solution and the B solution meet to form a Fenton oxidation system, and the hydrogen peroxide and iron ions will generate strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (—OH), which can efficiently oxidize organic substances and impurities on the surface of silicon carbide.

[0007] Further, the speed of the polishing machine in the polishing process described in the application is n, with the unit of r / min; the polishing time is t, with the unit of min; and the dropping speed of the A solution into the polishing disc during the polishing process is w, with the unit of g / s;

[0008] And it satisfies: when 0 < t ≤ 20, w = 2e 0.5t , n = 40t;

[0009] When 20 < t ≤ T, w = 15 g / s, and n = 1000~1200 r / min, and the range of T is 30-40 min.

[0010] By preparing the A solution and the B solution on site before polishing respectively, and the hydrogen peroxide solution as the A solution is not mixed with the B solution, each component remains independent. With the help of the special device, the A solution and the B solution meet to form a Fenton oxidation system during the polishing process. Further, by matching a reasonable speed with an appropriate amount of polishing liquid, the Fenton reaction is continuously generated, while the cracking and damage of the surface of the silicon carbide ceramic can be effectively avoided.

[0011] Further, the mass fraction of the acidic silica sol in the B solution described in the application is 15~30%; the mass fraction of the diamond is 8~12%; and the mass fraction of the ferrous chloride is 1.5~3%.

[0012] Further, the method described in the application further includes a pretreatment process before the polishing process and a final treatment process after the polishing process; the pretreatment process includes coarse grinding, fine grinding, acid pickling detection and Fenton oxidation in sequence; and the final treatment process includes a cleaning and drying process and a detection process.

[0013] Further, the Fenton oxidation in the application is specifically: first, prepare a Fenton oxidation system liquid, the Fenton oxidation system liquid includes 7-10% of hydrogen peroxide by mass fraction and 0.1-0.2 mol / L of iron ions in concentration, then immerse the silicon carbide ceramic product after the acid pickling detection step in the Fenton oxidation system liquid, immerse for 40-60 min at a temperature of 20-25℃, and complete the Fenton oxidation process.

[0014] Further, the rough grinding treatment in the application is specifically: under the conditions of 500-1500 Pa pressure and 5000-10000 rpm rotation speed, grind the silicon carbide ceramic product by using a diamond grinding piece; to remove the unevenness and roughness on the surface of the silicon carbide ceramic.

[0015] Further, the fine grinding treatment in the application is specifically: regrind the silicon carbide ceramic product after the rough grinding treatment by using a fine grinding stone or grinding paper, and the pressure and rotation speed of the regrinding are 500-1500 Pa pressure and 5000-10000 rpm respectively; to further improve the surface flatness and smoothness.

[0016] Further, the acid pickling detection in the application is specifically: place the silicon carbide ceramic product after the fine grinding treatment in an appropriate amount of acid solution for acid pickling, the acid solution includes 40-50% of hydrofluoric acid solution by mass fraction, 30-40% of hydrochloric acid solution by mass fraction and deionized water, and the volume ratio of the hydrofluoric acid solution, the hydrochloric acid solution and the deionized water is 1:(2-4):(5-6); then detect the surface roughness, and the Ra is 25-50 μm. Since some impurities, dust or other pollutants will inevitably be assisted in the processing process, the acid pickling is to remove the impurities and small surface defects on the surface of the product, improve the ceramic quality and roughness, and also appropriately improve the adhesion of the ceramic surface, ensure that the abrasive grains can be more firmly attached to the surface in the subsequent process, and at the same time, the acid pickling can also remove the oxidation layer that may be generated in the sintering process or exposed to the air.

[0017] Further, the cleaning and drying process in the application is specifically: rinse 2-3 times with deionized water, and then dry at a temperature of 30-50℃ for 5-10 min; the detection process includes roughness detection, surface hardness detection and bending strength detection; the roughness Ra is 0.025-0.05 μm; the surface hardness is 2500-2600 HV by using a test force of 30 kg, maintaining for 20 seconds; and the bending strength is 550-580 MPa.

[0018] An apparatus for polishing the surface of reaction-bonded silicon carbide based on any one of the above-mentioned methods includes a polishing machine and a sample holder. The polishing machine includes a housing and a polishing disc located on the housing. The polishing disc is fixed to a rotating shaft at its bottom, and the rotating shaft is connected to the housing through a bushing.

[0019] Furthermore, the device described in this application also has a second support rod fixed on the housing, and the end of the second support rod is provided with a solution dispenser for holding solution A. The solution dispenser has its opening facing downward and is located above the polishing disc. A flow meter is also provided at the opening of the solution dispenser. The housing is also fixed with a solution tank for holding solution B. The solution tank has its opening facing upward, and a stirring mechanism is provided inside the solution tank. A nozzle is provided at the opening of the solution tank.

The end of the connecting rod away from the first support rod is provided with a clamping mechanism. The first support rod is an automatic telescopic rod.

[0021] The polishing machine also includes a polishing machine control system capable of controlling the rotation speed. The polishing machine control system includes a display screen and a timer, and a pressure sensor is also installed at the bottom of the polishing disc. The rotating shaft, pressure sensor, display screen, flow meter, timer, nozzle, stirring mechanism, and polishing machine control system are all electrically connected to the motor. Powered by the motor, the polishing machine control system first controls the stirring mechanism and nozzle to spray solution B onto the area to be polished on the reaction-sintered silicon carbide ceramic product before polishing. Then, it drives the timer to start, and simultaneously controls the polishing disc to rotate at a set speed, while the flow meter begins to drip solution A into the polishing disc, initiating the polishing process. During polishing, the polishing machine control system controls the height of the first support rod based on the polishing time displayed on the screen and the pressure value fed back by the pressure sensor at the bottom of the polishing disc. This controls the relative distance between the sample held by the clamping mechanism and the polishing disc, ensuring that appropriate pressure is maintained throughout the polishing process, ultimately achieving a good polishing effect.
