In the first embodiment, the cutting tool 31 has: an annular cutting blade that cuts the semiconductor wafer 200; and an annular ring base that supports the cutting blade at the outer edge and is detachably mounted on the spindle 23. The cutting blade has abrasive grains such as diamond or CBN (Cubic Bon Nitride) and a bonding material (bonding material) such as metal or resin. In addition, in the present invention, the cutting tool 31 may also be a so-called washer tool consisting only of a cutting blade.
[0040] The spindle housing 32 is supported by the Z-axis moving unit 53 so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction, and is supported by the Y-axis moving unit 52 so as to be movable in the Y-axis direction via the Z-axis moving unit 53. The spindle housing 32 accommodates the portion of the spindle 23 other than the front end portion and the spindle motor (not shown), etc., and supports the spindle 23 so as to be rotatable about the axis.

The imaging unit 40 has an imaging element for imaging the area to be divided of the semiconductor wafer 200 held by the holding table 20 before cutting. The imaging element is, for example, a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) imaging element or a CMOS (Complementary MOS) imaging element. The imaging unit 40 images the semiconductor wafer 200 held by the holding table 20, obtains an image for performing alignment, etc., of the semiconductor wafer 200 and the cutting tool 31, and outputs the obtained image to the control unit 100.
[0044] In addition, the processing device 10 has: an X-axis direction position detection unit (not shown) for detecting the position of the holding table 20 in the X-axis direction; a Y-axis direction position detection unit (not shown) for detecting the position of the processing unit 30 in the Y-axis direction; and a Z-axis direction position detection unit for detecting the position of the processing unit 30 in the Z-axis direction. The X-axis direction position detection unit and the Y-axis direction position detection unit can be composed of a linear scale and a reading head parallel to the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction.

In this case, the number of covers 2 can be reduced and costs can be reduced compared to the conventional design of providing one cover 2 for one processing device 10.
[0050] In addition, in the semiconductor wafer processing system 1 in the first embodiment, the upper part of the apparatus main body 11 of each processing device 10, that is, the processing area and the loading and unloading area are covered by the processing chamber cover 5, and the upper part of the apparatus main body 11 of the processing device 10 is partitioned by the partition plate 6. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the holding table 20 is moved in the X-axis direction on the apparatus main body 11 of each processing device 10, and the holding table 20 is restricted from moving across the apparatus main bodies 11 of a plurality of processing devices 10. In addition, in the first embodiment, each processing area of the semiconductor wafer processing system 1 is connected to a duct for exhaust (not shown).

Figure 4In the selection screen 111 shown, the processing devices 10 are indicated by reference numerals 10 - 1 , 10 - 2 , 10 - 3 , and 10 - 4 .
[0053] The input unit 120 is used by the operator to register processing conditions, etc. In the first embodiment, the input unit 120 is composed of a touch panel provided on the monitor 110. The input unit 120 can be operated, for example, Figure 4 The selection screen 111 shown in the figure is used to select any one of the processing devices 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, and 10-4.
