[0002] The chemical mechanical rough grinding equipment for wafers generally consists of the following parts: a robotic arm that picks up and drives the wafer to rotate and grind on the polishing pad, a platform that supports the polishing pad, a spraying device that provides the abrasive, and a cleaning device that cleans the polishing pad and the wafer.

[0003] The grinding process of the wafer needs to be carried out multiple times, gradually transitioning from rough grinding to fine grinding. The components ground from the wafer during the grinding process will become impurities and fill the gaps of the polishing pad, reducing the rough grinding efficiency. Therefore, the cleaning work between different grinding stages is very important. The cleaning method is generally to rinse or perform a mild grinding action on the wafer while rinsing, so as to remove the tiny impurity particles adhered to the wafer while cleaning the polishing pad. However, in fact, due to the physical properties of the thin and brittle wafer and the porous polishing pad, the rinsing effect of the existing chemical mechanical grinding equipment is not ideal, often requiring a long rinsing time and consuming a large amount of water resources. Therefore, in order to shorten the cleaning duration in the wafer grinding process of the existing chemical mechanical grinding equipment, improve production efficiency, and reduce water consumption, making the equipment more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, a semiconductor chemical mechanical automatic polishing device is proposed.

[0038] The working principle and advantages of the device are further explained in combination with the prior art: the grinding tables 200 of the currently used chemical mechanical grinding equipment have a significant commonality, that is, the table tops of their grinding tables 200 are usually circular, and the circular grinding pads are laid flat on the grinding table 200 for use, and the grinding pads, especially the coarse grinding pads, have a large number of tiny pores, which determine the grinding accuracy of the grinding pads and can absorb and hold abrasives. The tiny pores after grinding are easily filled with impurity particles ground out, resulting in changes in the surface roughness of the grinding pads, resulting in reduced work efficiency of the re-grinding, and other problems. Moreover, since the working surface is vertically facing upward, the efficiency of cleaning the grinding pads by traditional rinsing methods is very low, thereby consuming a large amount of water.

[0039] The present invention provides a semiconductor chemical mechanical automatic polishing device, wherein a grinding table 200 is mainly provided. The grinding table 200 is similar to a conveyor belt structure, and adopts a grinding belt 201 instead of a conventional circular grinding pad. The running route of the grinding belt 201 is an equilateral triangle, and the top surface is arranged horizontally, so that the triangular top surface of the grinding belt 201 can be used for conventional grinding operations, and the other two side surfaces of the grinding belt 201 can be cleaned synchronously during the grinding process. Different from the conventional chemical mechanical polishing pad, which washes toward the grinding surface, the washing direction of the present invention is to wash the grinding belt 201. 1. The back side of the grinding surface is rinsed, which can remove impurities in the grinding belt 201 more quickly and thoroughly, so the cleaning time will be greatly shortened. A further benefit of shortening the cleaning time is that the grinding table 200 has prepared a clean grinding surface for use before the ongoing grinding operation is completed. In addition, for the residue on the surface of the wafer after grinding, the grinding belt 201 can be continuously moved in one direction, and the residue on the surface of the wafer can be wiped off with the clean side of the grinding belt 201. This brings powerful work efficiency to the grinding and cleaning of the wafer that is not available in the traditional horizontally laid single grinding pad.

[0040] To achieve the above-mentioned target functions, the present invention also has the following technical details:

[0041] First, for the driving methods of the grinding belt 201 and the cleaning structure of the chemical mechanical polishing equipment, as Figure 11 shown, the roller 202 of the device can rotate freely relative to its rotating shaft, and the rotating shafts of the roller 202 and the roller 204 are connected by bearings and can rotate freely relative to the frame 203 or the bracket 205. Therefore, when the polishing table 200 drives the roller 204 to rotate through the motor 300, the roller 204 drives the grinding belt 201 to run in a way that squeezes the roller 202 to clamp the grinding belt 201. At the same time, the belt 206 connected to the rotating shaft of the roller 202 and the cleaning function-related components such as the carriage 208 connected to the belt 206 are not affected by the operation of the grinding belt 201, and the two operate independently of each other;

[0042] When another motor 300 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft of the roller 202, the rotating shaft of the roller 202 will drive the pulley 207 and the belt 206 to run. The two belts 206 are arranged at a V-shaped angle. As Figure 7 shown, the running directions of the two sides of the two belts 206 that are close to each other or the two sides of the two belts 206 that are far from each other are opposite. Therefore, when one side (or the side far from each other) of the two belts 206 that are close to each other is connected to the carriage 208, one carriage 208 will rise and the other carriage 208 will fall. The advantages of such a motion layout are, first, the carriage 208 and the nozzles on the carriage 208 always run close to the inner wall of the grinding belt 201 at a stable distance, bringing a stable flushing or air-drying effect; second, the lifting directions of the two carriages 208 are opposite, which can cancel out the gravity effect on each other, reducing the difficulty of transmission and driving, manifested as lower energy consumption of the motor 300;

[0043] Second, for the polishing table 200 of the chemical mechanical polishing equipment, the gap adjustment between the roller 204 and the roller 202 is very important. The gap between the roller 204 and the roller 202 needs to be adjusted to achieve two purposes. One is to squeeze and roll to drive the operation of the grinding belt 201, and the other is to locally squeeze the grinding belt 201 so that the grinding belt 201 is squeezed to temporarily compact the internal pores and squeeze out the residual water after flushing, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of air-drying in the subsequent stage. When continuously running the grinding belt 201 to wipe off the attachments on the surface of the wafer, it also plays a role in quickly squeezing and discharging dirt in cooperation with water flushing (applicable when using a grinding belt 201 made of a soft and flexible grinding material), as Figure 14As shown in the figure, on the brackets 205 at both ends of the rotating shafts of the second roller 204, an inclined slider 205a is integrally provided. The included angle between the two sliders 205a is in an inverted V shape. When the nut 213 is tightened relative to the rotating shaft, the nut 213 will squeeze the bracket 205 towards the second roller 204 through the cover plate 212 (since the nut 213 is small in volume, to avoid direct extrusion of the bearing side by the nut 213 causing damage). The distance between the two brackets 205 decreases, which will cause the two sliders 205a to slide and rise along the dovetail chute 203a at the bottom of the frame 203, and at the same time drive the bracket 205 and the second roller 204 to rise. Continuously reduce the distance between the two brackets 205 until the second roller 204 rises to contact the abrasive belt 201 and is squeezed to an appropriate pressure, and then fix the adjusted position by the anti-loosening method of tightening with the double nut 213;

[0044] Since the sliding directions of the slider 205a and the dovetail chute 203a are determined, and the socketing direction of the bracket 205 and the roller shaft of the second roller 204 is unique, when the machining and assembly accuracy of the components meet the requirements (the parallelism between the first roller 202 and the second roller 204), the actions of the two sliders 205a must be synchronized to achieve the lifting adjustment of the roller, avoiding the non-parallelism between the first roller 202 and the second roller 204 caused by the difference in the adjusted positions at both ends, and avoiding the uneven pressure on the abrasive belt 201 between the second roller 204 and the first roller 202;

[0045] It should be noted that since the position of the motor 300 is fixed relative to the frame 203, and the height of the second roller 204 is adjustable, a flexible coupling should be used to connect between the output shaft of the second roller 204 and its corresponding motor 300.

[0046] Thirdly, the grinding table 200 of this chemical mechanical polishing equipment has a frame structure composed of two equilateral triangle frames 203, a square flat plate 211, and a cross beam 216. Among them, a small equilateral triangle inner frame 215 is also connected inside the frame 203. The inner frame 215 divides the area enclosed by the frame 203 into four equilateral triangles, greatly increasing the structural strength of the frame 203. The platform and the cross beam 216 are responsible for the horizontal connection between the two frames 203, and the side width of the platform is greater than the width of the cross beam 216. Therefore, a shape close to a frustum of a pyramid is constructed among the platform, the cross beam 216, the frame 203, and the inner frame 215, making the overall structure of the grinding table 200 have high rigidity and stability;

[0047] Fourthly, Figure 7 Taking the air drying nozzle 210 as an example, the clamping and assembling structure between the air drying nozzle 210 and the carriage 208 is shown. The flushing nozzle 209 is assembled in the same way. Within the allowable installation space of the carriage 208, the number of the air drying nozzles 210 and the flushing nozzles 209 can be increased or decreased as needed, and the spacing between the nozzles can be adjusted flexibly;

[0048] Figure 6 The duct 217 with a flared opening is shown. The duct 217 can be deflected within a small range and is used to thread air pipes or water pipes during the movement of the nozzle head along with the carriage 208, so as to achieve the purpose of bundling and reducing scratches.

[0049] In summary, for this chemical mechanical polishing equipment, a polishing table 200 with an equilateral triangle appearance is adopted. The conveyor belt structure layout of the equilateral triangle of its polishing belt 201 replaces the traditional flat circular polishing pad. In addition to performing conventional polishing operations, the other two sides of the polishing belt 201 can be cleaned synchronously during the polishing process. Moreover, the flexible nozzle head arrangement and the back-and-forth flushing method not only greatly reduce the water consumption, but also significantly shorten the cleaning time, providing a clean polishing surface for the polishing table 200 in a timely manner, eliminating the traditional waiting time for flushing. Furthermore, the continuous running of the polishing belt 201 in one direction and its cooperation with the flushing operation can quickly and safely remove the residues on the surface of the wafer, bringing a powerful working efficiency that the traditional horizontally laid single polishing pad does not have for the polishing and cleaning of the wafer.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
