Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polishing surface deposits of graphite rings, and particularly to a device for polishing surface deposits of graphite rings. Background Art
[0002] Integrated circuit thin film growth technology includes various thin film growth technologies with different functions and positions, such as thermal oxidation, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition. By this method, several layers of film layers with different materials and thicknesses are grown on the surface of a wafer, which can provide a rich variety of combined requirements for the conductivity, heat conduction, bandwidth control, etc. of integrated circuits to meet various application scenarios of integrated circuits.
[0003] In the SiC thin film epitaxial growth technology of integrated circuit chemical vapor deposition thin film growth method, the silicon carbide substrate is the base material of the wafer. During the growth and processing, it will inevitably generate defects on the surface or near the surface, resulting in a decline in the crystal material quality and surface quality of the substrate, directly affecting the performance of the fabricated device. By using the silicon carbide epitaxial growth technology, by growing one or several layers of thin film layers with neatly arranged crystal lattices on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate, the surface topography of the substrate wafer can be improved, and the newly grown semiconductor crystal layer can improve the basic performance of the semiconductor device.
[0004] Specifically, silicon carbide epitaxial growth is carried out under specific process conditions (such as high temperature and low pressure in the furnace). The silicon carbide substrate wafer is exposed to a variety of different precursors. The gaseous substances undergo chemical decomposition and chemical reactions at extremely high temperatures on the surface of the substrate and recombine to produce the solid thin film required for epitaxial growth. During the epitaxial growth process, the reactants in the gas phase are fully mixed through a high-precision gas path device and then transported to the surface of the substrate wafer and adsorbed on its surface under the condition of low pressure in the furnace to undergo chemical reactions. On the one hand, it forms the silicon carbide solid thin film required for the epitaxial growth of the substrate wafer. On the other hand, the gaseous products will also be deposited on the surface of the graphite fittings around the substrate wafer to form a silicon carbide deposition layer. The remaining gaseous substances desorb from the substrate surface and are discharged from the reaction chamber through the exhaust gas vacuum system.
[0005] Among them, silicon carbide has a very high hardness, with a Mohs hardness of 9.5, second only to the hardest diamond in the world (10). The specific gravity of silicon carbide is 3.1 g / cm3, and its sublimation temperature is relatively high (about 2700 °C). Under any achievable pressure, it will not melt and has a relatively low chemical activity.
[0006] During the epitaxial growth of silicon carbide, the graphite component provides a stable thermal field and gas flow field for the SiC growth environment. The graphite ring therein plays a role in fixing the wafer. However, while the epitaxial growth of the silicon carbide substrate wafer is taking place, a silicon carbide epitaxial layer will also be synchronously deposited on the surface of the graphite ring fitting. With the batch epitaxial growth of the wafer, the deposited material on the surface of the graphite ring fitting will gradually deposit and thicken. Due to the influence of factors such as the gas flow field, temperature field, and pressure, the deposited material on the surface of the graphite ring fitting will present an irregular curved surface effect, resulting in poor roughness and flatness of the surface of the graphite ring fitting. The adhesion of the deposited material on the surface of the graphite ring fitting will also deteriorate synchronously, easily causing quality abnormalities such as downfall, carding, and poor concentration.
[0007] The existing solution is as follows: After the batch epitaxial growth of the wafer reaches the set deposition thickness, the graphite ring fitting is periodically cleaned and maintained by manual grinding. A grinding tool made of silicon carbide material is used to remove the loose layer of deposited material on the surface of the graphite fitting to solve the hidden danger of downfall and slow down the speed at which the deposited material on the graphite ring fitting gradually thickens.
[0008] However, the existing solution is affected by the physical properties of SiC in terms of processing efficiency, quality stability, and operation standardization and does not achieve good results. By means of manual grinding operation, only the loose layer of deposited material on the surface of the graphite ring fitting can be removed, and the stubborn deposited material under the loose layer of the graphite ring cannot be removed at all. With the batch epitaxial growth of the wafer, the non-removable stubborn layer becomes uneven under the combined action of the gas flow field and the temperature distribution characteristics of the thermal field, hindering the stability of the gas flow on the wafer surface, thereby resulting in poor quality (such as concentration uniformity) of the epitaxial growth. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In order to explain in detail the technical content, structural features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention, the following will be described in detail in conjunction with the implementation manners and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the present invention discloses a graphite ring surface sediment grinding equipment for grinding the inner chamfered bevel surface 101, inner chamfered flat edge 102, top surface 103 and / or outer chamfered bevel surface 104 of the graphite ring 100, which includes:
[0044] An X-axis moving device 1, a grinding head device 2 arranged on the X-axis moving device 1, a Y-axis moving device 3, and a positioning device 4 arranged on the Y-axis moving device 3;
[0045] The grinding head device 2 includes an alignment component 201 and a grinding head component 202 arranged on the alignment component 201. The grinding head component 202 is provided with a grinding member 21. The positioning device 4 includes a Z-axis rotation driver 41 and an adsorption module 401 arranged on the Z-axis rotation driver 41. The adsorption module 401 adsorbs the graphite ring 100;
[0046] Refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the alignment component 201 includes a Y-axis rotation component 22 and a Z-axis lifting component 23 arranged on the Y-axis rotation component 22. The X-axis moving device 1, the Y-axis rotation component 22 and the Z-axis lifting component 23 are respectively used to drive the grinding head component 202 to move horizontally, swing and descend, so that the grinding member 21 is correspondingly in contact with the inner chamfered bevel surface 101, inner chamfered flat edge 102 or outer chamfered bevel surface 104 for alignment; and the X-axis moving device 1 and the Z-axis lifting component 23 are also respectively used to drive the grinding head component 202 to move horizontally and descend, so that the grinding member 21 is correspondingly in contact with the top surface 103 for alignment.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the X-axis moving device 1 includes a conventional servo motor and an X-axis linear module 11, the Y-axis rotating assembly 22 includes a conventional servo motor and a rotating module 221, and the Z-axis lifting assembly 23 includes a conventional servo motor and a lead screw module 231. Therefore, they will not be elaborated here. When switching from a certain grinding position of the graphite ring 100 to another grinding position, the X-axis moving device 1 is used to drive the grinding head assembly 202 to move horizontally, so that the grinding member 21 of the grinding head assembly 202 corresponds to the side of the graphite ring 100 along the X-axis; the Y-axis rotating assembly 22 is used to drive the grinding head assembly 202 to perform an offset movement, so that the grinding member 21 is aligned with the inner chamfered inclined surface 101, the inner chamfered flat edge 102 or the outer chamfered inclined surface 104 of the graphite ring 100; after the Z-axis lifting assembly 23 aligns the grinding member 21 with the grinding position of the graphite ring 100, it drives the grinding member 21 to move closer to the grinding position of the graphite ring 100, so that the grinding member 21 is in corresponding contact with the grinding position of the graphite ring 100. Through the multi-dimensional combined structure of the above mechanical devices, cooperating with the positioning device 4, the purpose of automatically grinding and removing the SiC deposits on the inner chamfered inclined surface 101, the inner chamfered flat edge 102, the top surface 103 and / or the outer chamfered inclined surface 104 of the graphite ring 100 can be achieved.
[0048] Refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the grinding head assembly 202 includes an R-axis rotating assembly 24, a support frame 25 provided with a rotating bearing 251, a support cylinder 26 connected to the driving end of the R-axis rotating assembly 24, and a grinding shaft 27 provided with a grinding member 21. The support cylinder 26 is connected to the rotating bearing 251 and is rotatably arranged on the support frame 25. The grinding shaft 27 passes through the support cylinder 26. When the grinding member 21 grinds the top surface 103, the R-axis rotating assembly 24 drives the support cylinder 26 to drive the grinding shaft 27 to rotate, so that the grinding member 21 rotates to grind the top surface 103.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the grinding member 21 is a grinding cutter head. The R-axis rotating assembly 24 includes a conventional rotating drive motor 241, a drive wheel 242 arranged on the drive shaft of the rotating drive motor 241, and a drive belt 243 wound around the drive wheel 242 and the support cylinder 26. Therefore, they will not be elaborated here. The R-axis rotating assembly 24 is used to drive the grinding shaft 27 to rotate by a set alignment angle, so that the grinding cutter head is perpendicularly arranged with respect to the inner chamfered inclined surface 101, the inner chamfered flat edge 102 or the outer chamfered inclined surface 104 corresponding to the graphite ring 100 fittings. And when grinding the top surface 103, the R-axis rotating assembly 24 is used to drive the grinding shaft 27 to rotate at high speed by itself, so as to improve the effect of the grinding member 21 grinding the top surface 103.
[0050] Further, the grinding head assembly 202 includes a support frame 25, a support cylinder 26, and a grinding shaft 27 provided with a grinding member 21. The support cylinder 26 is arranged on the support frame 25 along the R axis and is provided with a through activity channel 261. At least one first channel 2611 is provided on the inner side wall of the activity channel 261. At least one second channel 271 is provided on the outer side wall of the grinding shaft 27 corresponding to the first channel 2611. A plurality of balls 262 are movably arranged in the first channel 2611 and the second channel 271, so that the grinding shaft 27 can be arranged to move up and down along the R axis in the activity channel 261, and the grinding shaft 27 is driven to rotate when the support cylinder 26 rotates. The cooperation of the above-mentioned balls 262 with the first channel 2611 and the second channel 271 can achieve the effect that the grinding shaft 27 can move up and down along the R axis and can rotate self-along the R axis.
[0051] Refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the grinding head assembly 202 includes a support frame 25, a support cylinder 26, and a grinding shaft 27 provided with a grinding member 21. The support cylinder 26 is arranged on the support frame 25 along the R axis and is provided with an activity channel 261. The grinding shaft 27 includes a grinding head end 272, a middle shaft 273, and a limiting tail end 274 arranged in sequence along the R axis. The middle shaft 273 is movably arranged along the R axis through the activity channel 261 and is sleeved with an elastic support 275;
[0052] When no external force acts on the grinding member 21, both ends of the elastic support 275 are respectively abutted against the grinding head end 272 and the front end face of the support cylinder 26, and the limiting tail end 274 is abutted against the rear end face of the support cylinder 26;
[0053] When an external force acts on the grinding member 21 to move the grinding shaft 27 upward along the R axis, the grinding head end 272 compresses the elastic support 275, and the limiting tail end 274 is separated from the support cylinder 26;
[0054] When no external force acts on the grinding member 21, the elastic support 275 elastically expands to push the grinding head end 272 to drive the grinding shaft 27 to move downward along the R axis until the limiting tail end 274 abuts against the rear end face of the support cylinder 26.
[0055] The above-mentioned cooperative setting of the support cylinder 26, the grinding shaft 27, and the elastic support 275 enables the grinding shaft 27 to have a certain floating degree of freedom, which can effectively protect the grinding member 21 during the grinding movement of the grinding member 21, avoid the impact force of the convex part with a large height difference on the surface of the graphite ring 100 on the grinding member 21, and further damage the grinding member 21 or the graphite ring 100 fittings. At the same time, with the cooperation of the distance detector 28 and the Z-axis lifting assembly 23, it can uniformly grind the uneven irregular surface topography of the SiC deposit on the surface of the graphite ring 100 fittings without leaving dead corners.
[0056] Refer to Figures 1 to 10, the grinding head assembly 202 includes a distance detector 28, a support frame 25, a support cylinder 26 and a grinding shaft 27. The support cylinder 26 is arranged on the support frame 25 along the R axis and is provided with a through activity channel 261. The grinding shaft 27 is movably inserted into the activity channel 261 along the R axis. An elastic detection member 281 is provided at the detection end of the distance detector 28. One end of the grinding shaft 27 is provided with a grinding member 21, and the other end abuts against the elastic detection member 281. When the sediment on the surface of the graphite ring 100 pushes the grinding shaft 27 to move upward along the R axis through the grinding member 21, the grinding shaft 27 compresses the elastic detection member 281, and the distance detector 28 detects the thickness of the sediment on the surface of the graphite ring 100 according to the compression amount of the elastic detection member 281.
[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the distance detector 28 used is a Keyence distance sensor with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Since the deposited material on the surface of the graphite ring 100 presents an irregular curved surface effect, the grinding effect of the graphite ring 100 cannot meet the product requirements. Therefore, a distance detector 28 is set to detect the highest point and the lowest point of each grinding position of the graphite ring 100.
[0058] For example, when grinding the top surface 103 of the graphite ring 100, the X-axis moving device 1 and the Y-axis rotating assembly 22 are used to drive the grinding shaft 27 of the grinding head assembly 202 to be positioned at the target position along the X axis and the Y axis, so that the grinding member 21 is aligned with the top surface 103 of the graphite ring 100 along the Z axis. Then, the Z-axis lifting assembly 23 is used to drive the grinding head assembly 202 to descend along the Z axis until the grinding member 21 of the grinding shaft 27 contacts the graphite ring 100, and the elastic detection member 281 of the distance detector 28 generates a telescopic amount of 0.01 mm due to the compression of the grinding shaft 27. Stop the Z-axis lifting assembly 23 from driving the grinding shaft 27 to descend and record the driving position corresponding to the Z-axis lifting assembly 23.
[0059] Next, while keeping the coordinate position of the grinding head assembly 202 unchanged, the Z-axis rotating driver 41 drives the adsorption module 401 to drive the graphite ring 100 to rotate 360 degrees, so that the grinding shaft 27 makes a telescopic movement along the Z-axis direction following the topography of the surface of the graphite ring 100, and thus compresses the elastic detection member 281 of the distance detector 28, so that the elastic detection member 281 generates different telescopic amount changes following the topography of the surface of the graphite ring 100. The distance sensor records the entire telescopic amount change process of the elastic detection member 281 to obtain the height position data of the highest point and the lowest point of the deposited material on the top surface 103 of the graphite ring 100.
[0060] Finally, according to the data of the distance sensor and the required polishing accuracy requirements of the graphite ring 100 (polishing target thickness value), set the compression threshold for the Z-axis lifting component 23 to drive the polishing head component 202 to descend along the Z-axis during the process of polishing the top surface 103 of the graphite ring 100, so as to realize the automatic control of the polishing accuracy of the graphite ring 100.
[0061] The above design of the movement trajectory, polishing speed, polishing pressure and movement mode of the polishing tool head of the polishing part 21 through the detection of the distance detector 28, combined with the multi-axis drive realized by the X-axis moving device 1, Y-axis rotating component 22, Z-axis lifting component 23 and R-axis rotating component 24, can achieve the purpose of comprehensively and efficiently polishing and removing the SiC deposits on the surface of the graphite ring 100, thereby effectively improving the growth quality of the silicon carbide epitaxial film, prolonging the service life of the graphite ring 100 and reducing the damage probability of the graphite ring 100.
[0062] Refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the positioning device 4 further includes a clamping lifting component 42, the adsorption module 401 includes an adsorption disc 43 and a clamping disc 44, the clamping disc 44 is connected to the Z-axis rotation driver 41, the adsorption disc 43 is arranged on the clamping disc 44 in a liftable manner, the adsorption disc 43 adsorbs the graphite ring 100, and a plurality of inwardly movable clamping members 441 are arranged circumferentially along the inner side of the clamping disc 44.
