[0026] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present application is to provide a grinding mechanism, including a grinding pad 10 and a grinding assembly.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 , wherein the grinding pad 10 is rotatably connected to a preset position and rotates around a first rotation axis to grind the target wafer 40 .

[0030] The pressure diaphragm 30 is connected to the side of the grinding head 20 facing the target wafer 40.

Under the action of the gas pressure, when the grinding pad 10 rotates around the first rotation axis, it cooperates with the grinding head 20 to grind the target wafer 40.

[0031] The pressure diaphragm 30 includes a diaphragm body 31 and a convex ring structure 32 . The convex ring structure 32 is convexly disposed on one side of the diaphragm body 31 facing the target wafer 40 . The inner diameter of the convex ring structure 32 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the target wafer 40 so that the target wafer 40 can be accommodated in the convex ring structure 32 .

[0032] Along the axial direction of the target wafer 40 , the target wafer 40 is at least partially accommodated in the convex ring structure 32 , so that the side of the target wafer 40 facing away from the grinding pad 10 and at least a portion of the circumferential sidewall of the target wafer 40 are wrapped in the convex ring structure 32 .

[0033] A first annular pressure chamber 33 is provided on the side of the convex ring structure 32 facing away from the grinding pad 10 . The first pressure chamber 33 is used to inject gas. Under the action of the gas pressure in the first pressure chamber 33 , the convex ring structure 32 can fit the edge of the target wafer 40 to the grinding pad 10 .

[0034] When the target wafer 40 is accommodated in the convex ring structure 32, after gas is injected into the first pressure chamber 33, under the action of the pressure in the first pressure chamber 33, the convex ring structure 32 applies pressure to the edge of the target wafer 40 along the direction of the grinding head 20 pointing to the grinding pad 10, thereby fitting the edge of the target wafer 40 onto the grinding pad 10 within a preset pressure range to prevent the target wafer 40 from slipping during the grinding process.

When the target wafer 40 is located in the convex ring structure 32, the side of the target wafer 40 facing the grinding pad 10 is spaced apart from the side of the convex ring structure 32 facing the grinding pad 10.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present application, along the axial direction of the target wafer 40, the circumferential side walls of the target wafer 40 are all contained in the convex ring structure 32, that is, along the axial direction of the target wafer 40, the thickness dimension of the target wafer 40 is equal to the depth dimension of the convex ring structure 32. When the target wafer 40 is located in the convex ring structure 32, the side of the target wafer 40 facing the grinding pad 10 is flush with the side of the convex ring structure 32 facing the grinding pad 10.

[0040] In the present application, the convex ring structure 32 includes a first diaphragm 321 , a second diaphragm 322 and a third diaphragm 323 .

[0041] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4The first diaphragm 321 extends along the axial direction of the target wafer 40 and is integrally arranged with the diaphragm body 31.

The third diaphragm 323 extends along the axial direction of the target wafer 40 and is integrally arranged with one end of the second diaphragm 322 away from the first diaphragm 321. A first pressure chamber 33 is formed between one side of the first diaphragm 321 facing the third diaphragm 323, the side wall of the second diaphragm 322, and the third diaphragm 323 facing the first diaphragm 321.

[0042] In this application, please refer to Figure 4 The connection portion between the second diaphragm 322 and the first diaphragm 321 is provided with a first rounded corner 314, and the connection portion between the third diaphragm 323 and the second diaphragm 322 is provided with a second rounded corner 325. The first rounded corner 314 and the second rounded corner 325 have the same chamfer radius.

[0043] The grinding head 20 drives the target wafer 40 to rotate on the grinding pad 10 through the pressure diaphragm 30. A first chamfer 314 is provided at the connection position between the second diaphragm 322 and the first diaphragm 321, and a second chamfer 325 is provided at the connection position between the third diaphragm 323 and the second diaphragm 322, so that the grinding liquid can pass through the convex ring structure 32 and enter between the target wafer 40 and the grinding pad 10.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 5 The convex ring structure 32 also includes a reinforcing diaphragm 326 .

[0045] The reinforcement diaphragm 326 is located in the first pressure chamber 33 , and one end of the reinforcement diaphragm 326 is integrally provided with the first diaphragm 321 , and the other end opposite to the one end is integrally provided with the second diaphragm 322 .

[0046] By arranging a reinforcing diaphragm 326 in the first pressure chamber 33, the structural strength of the convex ring is improved.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing membrane 326 is an annular structure.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, the reinforcement diaphragm 326 is a strip-shaped structure, and there are multiple reinforcement diaphragms 326 , which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the pressure diaphragm 30 .

[0049] In this application, please refer to Figures 2 to 5A plurality of second pressure chambers 34 are provided on the diaphragm body 31, and the plurality of second pressure chambers 34 are arranged in sequence along the radial direction of the target wafer 40, and the plurality of pressure chambers are independent of each other. Among the plurality of second pressure chambers 34, the second pressure chamber 34 located at the center of the diaphragm body 31 is circular, and the remaining second pressure chambers 34 are annular.

The first gas flow channel 21 includes a main gas flow channel 211 and a plurality of sub-gas flow channels 212. The plurality of sub-gas flow channels 212 are all connected to the main gas flow channel 211. Figures 3 to 5 The first pressure chamber 33 and the second pressure chamber 34 are respectively connected to the main gas flow channel 211 through a sub-gas flow channel 212, so as to inject gas into the first pressure chamber 33 and the second pressure chamber 34.

[0051] In the technical solution in which the grinding assembly rotates about the second rotation axis, see Figures 6 to 8 A rotary joint 70 is provided on the grinding head 20 , an air inlet end of the rotary joint 70 is connected to the air source, and an air outlet end of the rotary joint 70 is connected to the first gas flow channel 21 .

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the pressure of the gas in the first pressure chamber 33 and each of the multiple second pressure chambers 34 can be adjusted as needed, wherein when the gas pressures in the multiple second pressure chambers 34 are adjusted to different pressure values, different pressures can be applied to different parts of the target wafer 40 to press the target wafer 40 onto the grinding pad 10.

[0053] Pressure sensors are provided at positions on the grinding head 20 corresponding to the first pressure chamber 33 and the multiple second pressure chambers 34, and a micro solenoid valve is provided in each sub-gas flow channel 212. The pressure sensor in each sub-gas flow channel 212 is electrically connected to the corresponding micro solenoid valve. When the pressure in the cavity corresponding to the pressure sensor reaches a preset pressure value, the pressure sensor generates a control signal and transmits the control signal to the micro solenoid valve. The micro solenoid valve closes the corresponding sub-gas flow channel 212 according to the control signal.

[0056] In the present application, among the multiple sub-gas flow channels 212, the outlet of one sub-gas flow channel 212 corresponds to the edge ring 60. During the grinding of the target wafer 40, the gas pressure in the sub-gas flow channel 212 is used to make the edge ring 60 fit tightly with the grinding pad 10, so that the grinding ring presses the grinding pad 10 on the outside of the target wafer 40, thereby preventing the deformation of the grinding pad 10 at this position from affecting the grinding of the target wafer 40.

[0061] Compared with the unidirectional and arc-shaped flow channel set on the edge in the prior art, in the edge ring 60, a bidirectional flow channel 62 is formed between any two adjacent columnar protrusions 61, which not only enables the grinding fluid to enter between the target wafer 40 and the grinding pad 10 from the outside of the grinding head 20 through the bidirectional flow channel 62, but also the particulate matter and excess grinding fluid generated after grinding the target wafer 40 and the grinding pad 10 can also flow from the fitting part of the target wafer 40 and the grinding pad 10 to the outside of the grinding head 20 through the bidirectional flow channel 62.

An annular third pressure chamber 36 is formed between the first sub-diaphragm 351, the first sub-diaphragm and the side of the convex ring structure 32 away from the target wafer 40. A boss 23 matching the first sub-diaphragm 351 is provided on the inner side of the grinding head 20 or the edge ring 60, and under the action of the circumferential pressure of the third pressure chamber 36 along the target wafer 40, the first sub-diaphragm 351 fits with the boss 23.

[0063] Specifically, in the present application, the fourth diaphragm 35 is disposed on the side of the third diaphragm 323 away from the first diaphragm 321. And one of the plurality of sub-gas flow channels 212 is connected to the third pressure chamber 36 to facilitate filling the third pressure chamber 36 with gas.

[0064] The boss 23 includes a first side wall extending radially along the target wafer 40, and a second side wall extending axially along the target wafer 40. Under the action of the gas pressure in the third pressure chamber 36, the first sub-diaphragm 351 fits with the first side wall, and the second sub-diaphragm 352 fits with the second side wall, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the diaphragm body 31 and the grinding head 20.

[0065] In one implementation of this application, see Figure 6 and Fig.10 The boss 23 is arranged on the inner wall of the grinding head 20. After the gas is filled into the third pressure chamber 36, under the pressure of the gas along the axial direction of the target wafer 40, the first side wall of the first sub-diaphragm 351 abuts, and under the pressure of the gas along the radial direction of the target wafer 40, the second side wall of the second sub-diaphragm 352 abuts.

[0066] In another implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 7 and Fig.11 The boss 23 is arranged on the inner side wall of the abutment ring. After the gas is filled into the third pressure chamber 36, under the axial pressure of the gas along the target wafer 40, the first side wall of the first sub-diaphragm 351 abuts, and under the radial pressure of the gas along the target wafer 40, the second side wall of the second sub-diaphragm 352 abuts.

[0068] In the technical solution in which the boss 23 is disposed in the grinding head 20 , along the axial direction of the target wafer 40 , part of the fourth pressure chamber 38 corresponds to the grinding head 20 , and another part of the chamber corresponds to the edge ring 60 .

[0069] Specifically, the fifth diaphragm 37 is arranged on the side of the third diaphragm 323 facing the first diaphragm 321, and a fourth pressure chamber 38 is formed between the fifth diaphragm 37 and the side of the third diaphragm 323 facing the first diaphragm 321. Among the multiple sub-airflow channels, one of the sub-airflow channels is connected to the fourth pressure chamber 38. Since part of the cavity of the fourth pressure chamber 38 corresponds to the grinding head 20 along the axial direction of the target wafer 40, and another part of the cavity corresponds to the edge ring 60, after the gas is introduced into the fourth pressure chamber 38, under the action of the pressure of the gas along the horizontal direction of the target wafer 40, the part of the third diaphragm 323 corresponding to the grinding head 20 is attached to the inner wall of the grinding head 20, and the part of the third diaphragm 323 corresponding to the edge ring 60 is attached to the inner wall of the edge ring 60, so as to further improve the connection strength between the pressure diaphragm 30 and the grinding head 20.

[0070] When gas is filled into the first pressure chamber 33 and the second pressure chamber 34, under the action of the radial pressure of the gas in the second pressure chamber 34 along the target diaphragm, the third side wall fits against the inner wall of the edge ring 60, which further improves the reliability of the connection between the pressure diaphragm 30 and the grinding head 20 while preventing the grinding fluid from entering the grinding head 20 and the edge ring 60.
