Figure 6 (c) (d) The central axis plate 6 has a disc structure, and the annular fixed pressure plate 10 is connected in the pressure plate hole, pressing the disc structure of the central axis plate 6 and pressing the sealing flange 701 of the airbag 7 in the groove 502. The top of the central axis plate 6 is a shaft-shaped structure. When the bearing body 101 is installed in the connecting cavity 501, the top of the central axis plate 6 is inserted into the central axis hole 104, and the sealing ring 105 of the central axis hole 104 is sealed with the central axis hole 104. A central axis guide hole 601 is opened in the central axis plate 6, and the central guide hole 102 is connected with the central axis guide hole 601 after the bearing part 1 and the polishing part 2 are connected and installed.
[0031] Please combine Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the polishing part 2 is a fixed template 8 and a plug-in template 9. The fixed template 8 and the plug-in template 9 are made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant Peek or epoxy glass fiber board and other materials. The thickness of the fixed template 8 is consistent with that of the plug-in template 9 and is slightly larger than the thickness of the chip to be processed. The fixed template 8 is fixed to the bottom of the polishing part body 5 by screws or adhesive bonding. A center card slot 801 is provided in the center of the fixed template 8 for plug-in template 9 to be connected. The shape of the center card slot 801, the shape of the plug-in template 9 and the shape of the middle part of the airbag 7 correspond to each other. In order to facilitate the alignment of the plug-in template 9 and the fixed template 8, a notch 802 is provided at the contour edge or corner position of the center card slot 801, and a protrusion 901 corresponding to the notch 802 is provided on the side of the plug-in template 9. As shown Figure 7 In (a), Figure 8 As shown in (a) and (b) in the figure, the central slot 801, the plug-in template 9 and the middle of the airbag 7 are all circular. Correspondingly, a notch 802 is set at each of the four equal positions of the contour edge of the central slot 801, and four protrusions 901 are set on the side of the plug-in template 9. When the plug-in template 9 is installed, the protrusions 901 are inserted into the notches 802. Or as Figure 7 (b) in the above equation, Figure 8 As shown in (c) and (d) in the figure, the central slot 801, the plug-in template 9 and the middle of the airbag 7 are all square. A notch 802 is provided at each corner of the central slot 801, and a protrusion 901 is provided at each corner of the square plug-in template 9.
[0032] One or more chip slots 902 are provided on the plug-in template 9. When multiple chip slots 902 are provided, they are evenly distributed. The number of chip slots 902 on the plug-in template 9 is the same as the number of adsorption holes 603 on the central axis plate 6, and the positions are relative, such as Figure 6 The center axis plate 6 shown in (a) and (c) Figure 8 The plug-in template 9 shown in (a) and (c) corresponds to the following. Figure 6 The center axis plate 6 shown in (b) and (d) Figure 8The plug-in template 9 shown in (b) and (d) corresponds to the suction hole 603 and the central axis guide hole 601 of the central axis plate 6.
[0033] The surface of the fixed template 8 is provided with a first material guide groove 803, and the surface of the plug-in template 9 is provided with a second material guide groove 903. After the plug-in template 9 is installed on the fixed template 8, the first material guide groove 803 and the second material guide groove 903 are radially arranged to extend outward from the center of the plug-in template 9. In addition, a third material guide groove 904 in an annular shape or perpendicular to the second material guide groove 903 can be provided on the surface of the plug-in template 9 to discharge particles generated by grinding.
[0034] The specific method of using the quickly detachable chip polishing head of this embodiment is as follows: In the first step, the polishing part 2 is turned over and the bottom surface of the fixed template 8 is placed on the table. The plug-in template 9 matching the chip size is selected and inserted into the central card slot 801 of the fixed template 8. Then, clean water is dripped into the chip card slot 902 of the plug-in template 9, and then the square chip is placed into the corresponding chip card slot 902 with the polished surface facing up.
[0035] The second step is, Fig. 9 , turn over the polishing part 2 with the chip adsorbed, with the chip facing downward, align the center of the central axis plate 6 with the center of the central axis hole 104 of the receiving part, and then lift the polishing part 2 upward until the top of the central axis plate 6 is inserted into the central axis hole 104, then rotate the polishing part 2 to make the pin 3 fall into the pin hole 4, and continue to lift the polishing part 2 upward until the bottom surface of the receiving part body contacts the bottom surface of the connecting cavity 501. At this time, the vacuum of the central guide hole 102 and the side guide hole 103 is turned on, and the side guide hole 103 forms a vacuum in the gap between the bottom surface of the receiving part body and the bottom surface of the connecting cavity 501 to suck the polishing part 2 upward, and the vacuum generated by the central guide hole 102 sucks the chip.
[0036] In the third step, the bearing part 1 and the polishing part 2 move downward as a whole under the action of the motor, and stop when the fixed template 8 at the bottom of the polishing part 2 is at a certain height from the disk surface. At this time, the vacuum of the side guide hole 103 is switched to CDA pressure, and the polishing part 2 moves downward under the pressure until the surface of the fixed template 8 contacts the surface of the polishing disk (not shown) and generates a certain pressure. At this time, there is a certain gap between the bottom surface of the receiving part and the bottom surface of the connecting cavity 501, and its height is equal to the distance from the fixed template 8 to the surface of the polishing disk after the motor stops moving downward, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 Then the central guide hole 102 is switched from vacuum to CDA pressure, the airbag 7 is pressed down, pressing the plug-in template 9 while continuing to press the chip in the chip slot 902, so that it contacts the surface of the polishing disk and generates a certain pressure; at this time, the fixed template 8, the plug-in template 9, and the chip are all in contact with the polishing disk surface and generate pressure, and the chip is CMP polished at this time, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 .
[0037] In the fourth step, when the polishing time is up, the central guide hole 102 is switched to vacuum first, and the airbag 7 sucks the chip to keep it away from the disk surface. Then the side guide hole 103 is also switched to vacuum, so that the polishing part 2 moves upward under the action of vacuum, and the fixed template 8 and the chip are away from the polishing disk surface as a whole; at the same time, the bearing part 1 and the polishing part 2 move upward as a whole under the action of the motor, and are away from the disk surface as a whole.
[0038] Step 5: The motor stops moving upward, the central guide hole 102 is switched to the atmosphere, and the side guide hole 103 is switched to a certain CDA pressure. Hold the edge of the polishing part 2 with both hands and move the polishing part 2 downward until the top of the central axis plate 6 is out of the bearing part 1.
[0039] Step 6: Turn over the polishing part 2, use a water gun to rinse the fixed template 8, the plug-in template 9 and the chip surface, and manually remove the chip. After removing the chip, rinse the template surface and each card slot to clean and dry. After the chip is cleaned, measure and test it.
[0040] Through experimental verification, the chip polishing head capable of rapid disassembly and assembly of the present invention can realize rapid disassembly and assembly of the polishing head, and can also realize CMP polishing application of chips of various sizes and thicknesses. The surface finish and surface consistency of the chip after polishing all meet the application requirements. The operation is simple and the maintenance is convenient.
