[0027] The following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to elaborate in detail on the technical solutions, structural features, achieved objectives, and effects in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the drawings adopt a very simplified form and all use non-precise scales, only for conveniently and clearly assisting in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions of the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, they do not have technical essence. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present invention can produce and the objectives that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed by the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that in the present invention, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including", or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements clearly listed, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or device.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a chemical mechanical polishing machine, as Figure 1 shown. The chemical mechanical polishing machine includes: a workbench, and a sprayer 600 arranged above the workbench; the workbench includes: a polishing disc 200, which rotates to convey polishing liquid to the wafer to be polished; a polishing liquid conveying arm 100, which is used to convey polishing liquid to the polishing disc 200; a polishing pad (not shown in the figure), arranged above the polishing disc 200, and the polishing pad cooperates with the rotating polishing disc 200 to convey the polishing liquid to the wafer to be polished; a polishing head 500, arranged on the polishing pad, and the wafer to be polished is placed between the polishing head 500 and the polishing pad, and the wafer to be polished is polished by the polishing head 500; the workbench further includes a dresser 400, which is used to dress the surface of the polishing pad to timely remove the polishing residues on the polishing pad.

[0031] The sprayer 600 is used to spray a moisturizing liquid onto the workbench to moisturize each component, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sprayer 600 includes: a main body 611, which is cylindrical and used to store the moisturizing liquid; a nozzle 608, which is connected to the main body 611, and through which the moisturizing liquid is sprayed onto the workbench; a rotating mechanism, which is connected to the side wall of the main body 611, so as to drive the main body 611 to rotate, enabling the main body 611 to rotate from the working position to the retracted position. The working position refers to the position where the sprayer 600 sprays the moisturizing liquid onto the workbench, and the retracted position refers to the position where, after the process is completed, the nozzle 608 of the sprayer 600 is moved to the side of the workbench to avoid affecting subsequent maintenance of the workbench; a positioning mechanism, the circumferential position of which is fixed, that is, the circumferential position of the positioning mechanism is relatively rotatable with respect to the main body 611, and the main body 611 is fixed at the working position or the retracted position through this positioning mechanism; the sprayer 600 further includes a controller (not shown in the figure), which is used to control the rotating mechanism to rotate the main body 611, and to control the positioning mechanism to fix the position of the main body 611.

[0032] The rotating mechanism includes a driving device 603 and a gear device. The gear device includes a driving gear 604 and a driven gear 605. The driven gear 605 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 611. Specifically, a groove is formed on the side wall of the main body 611, and the driven gear 605 is installed in the groove. In other embodiments, the driven gear 605 can also be directly installed on the side wall of the main body 611, that is, the driven gear 605 protrudes from the side wall of the main body 611; the driven gear 605 cooperates with the driving gear 604, and under the rotational action of the driving gear 604, the driven gear 605 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the main body 611 to rotate.

[0033] Such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving gear 604 drives the driven gear 605 to rotate through a driven gear, but this is not a limitation to the present invention. In other embodiments, the driving gear 604 can directly cooperate with the driven gear 605, or can drive the driven gear 605 to rotate through more driven gears.

[0034] The driven gear 605 is arc-shaped, and its radian is greater than the radian of the angle between the working position and the retracted position of the main body 611, so that the main body 611 can rotate between the working position and the retracted position through the driven gear 605.

[0035] The driving device 603 is a servo motor. The output end of the servo motor 603 is connected to the rotation center axis of the driving gear 604, so as to drive the driving gear 604 to rotate under the control of the controller, and then drive the main body 611 and the nozzle 608 to rotate.

[0036] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning member 606 and a driving member 602. The positioning member 606 is in a "7" shape, which has a first end 607 and a second end 601. The first end 607 is arranged above the top surface of the main body 611, and this first end 607 is used to fix the circumferential position of the main body 611. The second end 601 is arranged inside the cylinder center of the main body 611. The driving member 602 is arranged below the second end 601 and is connected to the second end 601. The driving member 602 is used to provide driving force to the second end 601 to lift and lower the positioning member 606. In other embodiments, the positioning member 606 can also pass through the cylinder of the main body 611 so that the second end 601 is arranged below the central axis of the main body 611.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, a positioning pin 609 is arranged on one side of the first end 607 of the positioning member 606 facing the top surface of the main body 611. A first positioning hole 610 and a second positioning hole (not shown in the figure) that cooperate with the positioning pin 609 are arranged on the top surface of the main body 611. The circumferential position of the positioning member 606 is fixed and does not rotate with the main body 611. In this embodiment, the main body 611 is driven to rotate around its central axis under the action of the rotating mechanism, that is, the main body 611 rotates around the positioning member 601 at its center, and the circumferential relative position between the main body 611 and the positioning member 601 changes. When the first positioning hole 610 rotates to directly below the positioning pin 609, the main body 611 is in the working position. When the second positioning hole rotates to directly below the positioning pin 609, the main body 611 is in the retracted position.

[0038] When the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole rotates to directly below the positioning pin 609, the driving member 602 drives the positioning member 606 to descend under the control of the controller, so that the positioning pin 609 is inserted into the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole, and the position of the main body 611 is fixed in the working position or the retracted position. When it is necessary to rotate the main body 611, the driving member 602 drives the positioning member 606 to rise under the control of the controller, so that the positioning pin 609 disengages from the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole. In this embodiment, the driving member 602 is a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the second end 601 of the positioning member 606, and can control the lifting and lowering of the positioning member 606.

[0039] In other embodiments, other positioning components may also be provided at the first end 607 of the positioning member 606 and the top surface of the main body 611. For example, the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, that is, a jack is provided on the side of the first end 607 of the positioning member 606 facing the top surface of the main body 611, and a first plug pin and a second plug pin that cooperate with the jack are provided on the top surface of the main body 611; when the first plug pin matches the jack, the sprayer 600 is in the working position, and when the second plug pin matches the jack, the sprayer 600 is in the retracted position; when the positioning member 606 descends, the first plug pin or the second plug pin is inserted into the jack to fix the position of the main body 611 in the working position or the retracted position; when the positioning member 606 ascends, the first plug pin or the second plug pin disengages from the jack.

[0040] In this embodiment, considering that the sprayer 600 is arranged above the workbench in the chemical mechanical polishing machine, in order to prevent the sprayer 600 from touching the top of the chemical mechanical polishing machine upward, the length of the positioning pin 609 is set to be less than 5 cm, and the height at which the driving member 602 raises the positioning member 606 is set to be 5 cm, so that the driving member 602 can raise the positioning member 606 without touching the top of the chemical mechanical polishing machine upward. In other embodiments, according to the component layout of the chemical mechanical polishing machine, the sizes of other positioning pins 609 and the raising height of the positioning member 606 can also be set.

[0041] Furthermore, a positioning monitoring device (not shown in the figure) is also provided in each of the first positioning hole 610 and the second positioning hole, for monitoring whether the positioning pin 609 is above the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole. The positioning monitoring device is connected to the controller and sends the monitoring result to the controller; after receiving the monitoring result sent by the positioning monitoring device, the controller then controls the driving member 602 to lower the positioning member 606. The monitoring result means that the positioning monitoring device in the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole monitors that the positioning pin 609 is above the first positioning hole 610 or the second positioning hole. If no monitoring result is received after the controller controls the rotation mechanism to rotate, or the monitoring result does not match the expectation, it indicates that there is a problem with the device and maintenance and inspection are required. In this embodiment, an optical sensor is used as the positioning monitoring device. In other embodiments, other positioning sensors can also be used as the positioning monitoring device. By setting this positioning monitoring device, the rotation condition of the main body 611 is monitored, further ensuring that the main body 611 rotates to the set position, making the rotation result of the position of the sprayer 600 more accurate, and being able to detect errors in the system in a timely manner, improving the system fault tolerance rate.

[0042] Correspondingly, in the case where the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, a positioning monitoring device is provided on the first plug pin and the second plug pin to monitor whether the first plug pin or the second plug pin is above the jack. At this time, an optical sensor can still be used as the positioning monitoring device to perform positioning monitoring based on the principle of optical ranging.

[0043] The positioning member 606 and the main body 611 are in a relationship of relative circumferential rotation. The second end 601 of the positioning member 606 is connected to the driving member 602. In this embodiment, the driving member 602 is fixedly connected to the fixed component of the chemical mechanical polishing machine to fix the position of the driving member 602. The main body 611 is placed on a plane with a fixed position, and this plane is fixedly connected to the fixed component of the chemical mechanical polishing machine. The driving member 602 can also be fixed to this plane, so that the main body 611 is placed on the fixed plane. The positioning member 606 passes through or is located inside the center of the cylinder of the main body 611, and the position of the main body 611 is relatively fixed without affecting its rotation around the positioning member 606. Among them, the diameter of the positioning member 606 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the main body 611.

[0044] The included angle between the first positioning hole 610 and the second positioning hole or between the first plug pin and the second plug pin is the included angle between the working position and the retracted position of the sprayer 600, generally 60° to 90°, and 75° in this embodiment. The passive gear 605 is arc-shaped, and its radian is not less than the included angle between the working position and the retracted position, so that the main body 611 can rotate through a sufficient angle through the passive gear 605 to adjust the position between the working position and the retracted position.

[0045] The controller is pre-installed with a set rotation angle. When it is necessary to rotate the sprayer 600 between the working position and the retracted position, the controller controls the rotation mechanism to rotate the corresponding set angle, so that the main body 611 rotates the set angle correspondingly to reach the working position or the retracted position. The set angle is the included angle between the working position and the retracted position.

[0046] In this embodiment, the sprayer 600 corresponds to only one working position. Since the workbench is in a rotating state, the sprayer 600 can spray all parts of the workbench without moving during the working process. In other embodiments, the sprayer 600 can also correspond to multiple working positions, that is, a first positioning hole 610, a second positioning hole, and at least one third positioning hole are provided on the top surface of the main body 611. The third positioning hole also cooperates with the positioning pin 609, and each third positioning hole corresponds to a working position of a sprayer 600; these positioning holes are on the concentric circle of the sprayer 600. By setting a set angle corresponding to the angle between each positioning hole, the controller automatically rotates the sprayer 600. Correspondingly, when the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, a first plug pin, a second plug pin, and at least one third plug pin are provided on the top surface of the main body 611, and the third plug pin matches the jack.

[0047] Finally, this embodiment also discloses a method for retracting the sprayer, which rotates the position of the sprayer 600 from the working position to the retracted position, using the above-mentioned sprayer 600, as Figure 3 shown, including the following steps:

[0048] S1. When the sprayer 600 is in the working position, at this time, the positioning pin 609 is inserted into the first positioning hole 610, and the controller controls the cylinder 602 to raise the positioning member 606 so that the positioning pin 609 disengages from the first positioning hole 610;

[0049] Or, when the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, the first plug pin is inserted into the jack, and the controller controls the cylinder 602 to raise the positioning member 606 so that the first plug pin disengages from the jack;

[0050] S2. The controller controls the servo motor 603 to drive the driving gear 604 to rotate by a set angle, that is, 75°, so that the driven gear 605 drives the main body 611 to rotate by 75° to reach the retracted position of the sprayer 600. At this time, the second positioning hole reaches below the positioning pin 609, and the positioning sensor in the second positioning hole monitors that the positioning pin 609 is above the second positioning hole and sends the monitoring result to the controller;

[0051] Or, when the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, when the sprayer 600 reaches the retracted position, the second plug pin reaches below the jack, and the positioning sensor on the second plug pin monitors that the jack is above the second plug pin and sends the monitoring result to the controller;

[0052] S3. After the controller receives the monitoring result of the positioning monitoring device, it controls the cylinder 602 to lower the positioning member 606 so that the positioning pin 609 on the positioning member 606 is inserted into the second positioning hole, thereby fixing the sprayer 600 in the retracted position;

[0053] Alternatively, the controller controls the cylinder 602 to lower the positioning member 606, so that the second pin is inserted into the jack of the positioning member 606, thereby fixing the sprayer 600 at the retracted position.

[0054] Correspondingly, when it is necessary to rotate the position of the sprayer 600 from the retracted position to the working position, only the rotation direction of the rotating mechanism needs to be reversed, and the above steps can be repeated. Specifically: the controller controls the cylinder 602 to raise the positioning member 606, so that the positioning pin 609 disengages from the second positioning hole; the controller controls the servo motor 603 to drive the driving gear 604 to rotate reversely by 75°, so that the main body 611 reaches the retracted position of the sprayer 600, and the positioning sensor in the first positioning hole 610 monitors that the positioning pin 609 is above the first positioning hole 610, and sends the monitoring result to the controller; after receiving the monitoring result of the positioning monitoring device, the controller controls the cylinder 602 to lower the positioning member 606, so that the positioning pin 609 is inserted into the first positioning hole 610, thereby fixing the sprayer 600 at the working position. This method is still applicable when the positions of the positioning pin and the positioning hole are swapped, and will not be elaborated here.
