[0042] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0043] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0044] Existing CMP equipment and processes are all performed on the surface of the wafer, so the fixed suction cups of the CMP equipment are all round, while the ceramic adapter plate is often square. The conventional practice is to stick the ceramic adapter plate to the round silicon wafer with wax for CMP processing. However, sticking the ceramic adapter plate to the silicon wafer with wax is not only complex and demanding, but also easy to cause uneven wax thickness; after the processing is completed, the ceramic adapter plate needs to be dewaxed. If the wax is not removed cleanly, it will cause circuit pollution and damage the circuit.

[0045] To solve the above problems, see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a CMP process for a ceramic transfer plate, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1. Make a grinding ring according to the size of the ceramic adapter plate;

[0047] S2, embedding the ceramic adapter plate into the grinding ring to form a workpiece to be processed;

[0048] S3, attaching UV film to the bottom surface of the workpiece to be processed;

[0049] S4, placing the workpiece into the CMP equipment and polishing it;

[0050] S5, taking out the finished product;

[0051] S6. De-film the UV film and remove the ceramic adapter plate.

[0052] By fixing the ceramic adapter plate on the grinding ring, using UV film to fix the ceramic adapter plate and the grinding ring and putting them into the CMP equipment for polishing, the use of waxing process to fix the ceramic adapter plate is avoided, the difficulty of the CMP process of the ceramic adapter plate is reduced, and the CMP process accuracy of the ceramic adapter plate is improved; the UV film can be cleanly removed to avoid circuit pollution and damage.

[0053] Further, see Figure 2 In step S1, making the grinding ring includes the following steps:

[0054] S1.1, design and process the mold;

[0055] S1.2, heating and melting the raw materials in the barrel to form a uniform melt;

[0056] S1.3, injecting the melt into the cavity of the mold;

[0057] S1.4, wait for the melt to solidify and then open the mold to take it out;

[0058] S1.5. Trim the excess parts.

[0059] Specifically, use CAD software to design the size and shape of the grinding ring, including the cavity, gate, cooling system, etc., and use CNC machine tools and other equipment to process the mold to ensure accuracy. Install the mold on the injection molding machine to ensure stability. Set parameters such as barrel temperature, injection pressure, cooling time according to the material, preheat the barrel and nozzle of the injection molding machine to ensure uniform melting of the plastic.

[0060] Specifically, in step S1.2, the raw material is plastic. In this embodiment, the plastic material may be polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), etc.

[0061] In other embodiments, the grinding ring can be made by machining. Specifically, after the shape and size of the grinding ring are designed, the grinding ring can be directly cut out from the plastic material. It should be noted that since the processing and manufacturing of annular workpieces is a very mature technology, other processing methods are not listed here, and those skilled in the art can select the corresponding processing method according to actual needs.

[0062] Further, see Figure 3 In step S3, applying UV film includes the following steps:

[0063] S3.1. Clean the bottom surface of the workpiece to be processed;

[0064] S3.2, attaching the UV film to the bottom surface of the workpiece to be processed;

[0065] S3.3. Remove bubbles between the UV film and the bottom surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0066] Specifically, wipe the bottom surface of the workpiece with a cleaning cloth to remove dust and stains. If necessary, use a dust removal sticker to further remove fine dust on the bottom surface of the workpiece, and slowly lower the UV film from one end to make it naturally fit the bottom surface of the workpiece. Specifically, in step S3.3, use a scraper to remove bubbles between the UV film and the bottom surface of the workpiece.

[0067] Further, see Figure 4 In step S6, the UV film is de-filmed, including the following steps:

[0068] S6.1. Use ultraviolet rays to irradiate the UV film to make the adhesive layer of the UV film lose its stickiness;

[0069] S6.2, peeling off the UV film;

[0070] S6.3. Remove excess glue.

[0071] Specifically, in step S6.1, the finished product is placed in a UV oven to irradiate the UV film. In other embodiments, a UV lamp may also be used to irradiate the UV film. In step S6.3, alcohol or a detergent is used to wipe and remove the residual glue. Specifically, the detergent includes acetone, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, etc. or includes ingredients such as polyethylene glycol monobutyl ether.

[0072] On the other hand, the present embodiment provides a grinding ring for use in a CMP process of a ceramic adapter plate, comprising a body, the body having an inner shape identical to that of the ceramic adapter plate and an outer shape being circular. Specifically, the thickness of the body is less than that of the ceramic adapter plate, so that the ceramic adapter plate can be directly ground without grinding the body, and the grinding ring can be repeatedly recycled.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
