Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to electrostatic chuck polishing equipment, and more particularly to semiconductor electrostatic chuck polishing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electrostatic chucks are core components in semiconductor manufacturing processes, primarily used to fix wafers (such as silicon wafers) in vacuum or plasma environments, enabling precise temperature control and surface flatness control. Electrostatic chucks fix wafers using electrostatic adsorption, avoiding damage or deformation that can occur with traditional mechanical clamping or vacuum adsorption methods. By applying a DC voltage, an electric field is created between the electrode layer and the wafer, causing the wafer to be uniformly adsorbed due to electrostatic forces. This contactless clamping method avoids mechanical stress damage to the wafer while supporting wafer temperature control and high vacuum environments. Electrostatic chucks typically consist of a dielectric layer, an electrode layer, and a substrate layer. The dielectric layer material (such as aluminum nitride ceramic) must possess high insulation and thermal conductivity to ensure stable adsorption force and controllable temperature. Electrostatic chucks can be used simultaneously in atmospheric and vacuum environments, providing uniform adsorption force without localized stress. Compared to traditional gripping and handling equipment, electrostatic adsorption consumes less energy; it can be quickly opened and closed, without generating potential on the back of the object, and does not attract surrounding dust; it can adsorb conductors, semiconductors, insulators, and porous materials, making it suitable for various process requirements.

[0003] The surface of a semiconductor electrostatic chuck needs to be kept flat, thus requiring grinding equipment to repair surface damage, remove oxide and corrosion layers, or adjust dimensional accuracy to ensure uniform distribution of electrostatic adsorption force. In Chinese utility model patent document CN220548115U, entitled "A Dual-Purpose Fixture for Grinding and Soaking the Ceramic Surface of an Electrostatic Chuck Component," the substrate is placed on the rotating platform of the grinding equipment, and bolts are used to fix the rotating platform to the substrate through mounting holes. The electrostatic chuck component is then inserted, and the workpiece is tightened onto the substrate using fasteners before grinding begins. This patent document fixes the semiconductor electrostatic chuck during grinding. However, this fixture can only fix semiconductor electrostatic chucks of the same model. Semiconductor electrostatic chucks come in various models, with standard sizes including 8 inches and 12 inches, and non-standard sizes can be customized. Therefore, the aforementioned fixture, and most existing fixtures, are insufficient to clamp and fix multiple models of semiconductor electrostatic chucks, making it difficult for the grinding equipment to adapt to different models and affecting the grinding process.

[0042] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0043] Figures 1 to 14 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck polishing device of the present invention. The semiconductor electrostatic chuck polishing device includes a fixed housing 1, a clamping unit, and a polishing unit. Both the clamping unit and the polishing unit are disposed within the inner cavity of the fixed housing 1. The polishing unit is divided into two symmetrical polishing mechanisms, and the clamping unit is disposed at the center of the two polishing mechanisms. The clamping unit is used to clamp and fix the semiconductor electrostatic chuck, and the polishing unit is used to polish the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. The clamping unit includes two clamping mechanisms symmetrically distributed vertically. The opposite ends of the two clamping mechanisms are respectively connected to the transmission assembly 8. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping contact assembly 2. An adjustment assembly 3 is connected to one side of the clamping contact assembly 2. The adjustment assembly 3 is connected to one side of the fixed plate 4. A plurality of reinforcing columns 5 arranged in a circular array are connected to one side of the fixed plate 4. The end of the reinforcing column 5 away from the fixed plate 4 is connected to one side of the clamping contact assembly 2. An approach assembly 6 is connected to the side of the fixed plate 4 away from the reinforcing column 5. The approach assembly 6 is connected to one side of the rotating support frame 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, the diameter of the clamping contact component 2 can be adjusted by the control component 3, thereby clamping and fixing different types of semiconductor electrostatic chucks. This allows the clamping unit to adapt to different types of semiconductor electrostatic chucks, thus expanding the applicability of the grinding equipment and facilitating the grinding process of different types of semiconductor electrostatic chucks.

[0045] In use, depending on the model of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck, the diameter of the clamping contact component 2 is adjusted using the control component 3, and then the semiconductor electrostatic chuck is positioned between the two clamping contact components 2. Then, the height of the corresponding clamping contact components 2 and other structures is adjusted using the two proximity components 6, so that the two clamping contact components 2 are close to the semiconductor electrostatic chuck, thereby clamping and fixing the semiconductor electrostatic chuck from the top and bottom sides using the two clamping contact components 2. Then, the moving component 10 drives the fixed frame 9 and grinding component 11 to move, so that the grinding components 11 on both sides can contact the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. Then, the rotating component 13 drives the grinding component 11 to rotate, and the transmission component 8 drives the approach component 6, the control component 3 and the clamping contact component 2 to rotate, thereby driving the semiconductor electrostatic chuck to rotate. The rotation direction of the grinding component 11 is opposite to the rotation direction of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. During the entire polishing process, the grinding component 11 of the coarse grinding disc is first used to polish the semiconductor electrostatic chuck, then the process is stopped and the grinding component 11 is moved away from the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. Then, the selection component 12 is used to move the grinding component 11 downward so that the grinding component 11 of the medium grinding disc is at the same horizontal position as the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. Then, the grinding component 11 is brought into contact with the semiconductor electrostatic chuck, and the grinding component 11 and the semiconductor electrostatic chuck are rotated again. At this time, the grinding component 11 of the medium grinding disc is used to polish the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. Then, the semiconductor electrostatic chuck is polished sequentially using the grinding assembly 11 of the fine grinding disc in the same manner, and the semiconductor electrostatic chuck is polished and polished using the grinding assembly 11 of the polishing disc, so as to achieve the staged polishing of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck.

[0046] The clamping contact assembly 2 includes a clamping ring 21, a central block 22 is provided on the inner side of the clamping ring 21, and a plurality of fixing posts 23 are connected to the side of the central block 22. One end of the fixing post 23 is connected to the inner side of the clamping ring 21. A plurality of movable blocks 24 arranged in a ring array are provided between the clamping ring 21 and the central block 22, and the movable blocks 24 are slidably connected to the surface of the fixed column 23. The movable block 24 is connected to a movable strip 25 on the side away from the central block 22, and the surface of the movable strip 25 is slidably connected to the clamping ring 21. The end of the movable bar 25 away from the movable block 24 is connected to the mounting block 26; Anti-slip pads 27 are connected to one side of the clamping ring 21, the center block 22, and the mounting block 26.

[0047] In this embodiment, the semiconductor electrostatic chuck can be clamped and fixed using the clamping contact components 2 on the upper and lower sides.

[0048] In use, the control component 3 can drive multiple moving blocks 24 to move along the fixed column 23, which in turn can drive the corresponding moving strip 25 to move in the same direction. At this time, the corresponding mounting block 26 can move in the same direction, so that multiple mounting blocks 26 can move simultaneously away from or closer to the center block 22. At this time, the diameter of the clamping contact component 2 can be adjusted to clamp and fix different types of semiconductor electrostatic chucks. During clamping, the anti-slip pads 27 on the upper and lower sides are in close contact with the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. The anti-slip pads 27 can ensure the stability of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck clamping and at the same time avoid damage to the contact surface between the semiconductor electrostatic chuck and the clamping contact component 2.

[0051] In use, the telescopic device 31 can drive the control plate 32 to move. At this time, under the action of the rotating frame 34, the adjusting column 33 can be rotated, which in turn can drive the moving block 24 to move.

[0052] The control plate 32 is connected to a plurality of connecting strips 35 arranged in a ring array on its side. The ends of the plurality of connecting strips 35 away from the control plate 32 are connected to the inner side of the anti-deviation ring 36. The surface of the reinforcing column 5 is slidably connected to the anti-deviation ring 36.

[0053] When the control plate 32 moves, it can drive the connecting strip plate 35 to move in the same direction, which in turn can drive the anti-deviation ring 36 to move in the same direction along the reinforcing column 5. The anti-deviation ring 36 and other structures are used to further limit the movement trajectory of the control plate 32 and increase the stability of the movement of the control plate 32 and other structures.

The disassembly plates 114 are detachably connected to the outside of the mounting ring 111 by a plurality of disassembly bolts 116. A grinding disc 115 is connected to the side of the disassembly plate 114 away from the mounting ring 111.

[0075] In this embodiment, the semiconductor electrostatic chuck can be polished using the grinding assembly 11.

[0076] The grinding discs 115 at the four grinding components 11 are, from top to bottom, a polishing disc, a fine grinding disc, a medium grinding disc, and a coarse grinding disc.

[0077] Using four grinding discs 115, the semiconductor electrostatic chuck can be ground and polished in stages, improving the grinding precision of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. It can also stop the grinding in time when errors occur, thus improving the fault tolerance rate of semiconductor electrostatic grinding.

[0078] In use, the rotating component 13 drives the central mounting block 112 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting post 113 and mounting ring 111 to rotate, which in turn drives the disassembly plate 114, disassembly bolt 116 and grinding disc 115 to rotate, and the grinding disc 115 is used to grind the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. It is worth noting that the mounting plate 114 can be detachably installed to the side of the mounting ring 111 using the mounting bolt 116, thereby allowing the worn or damaged grinding disc 115 to be replaced.

[0079] The selection component 12 includes two rotating plates 121. Each of the two rotating plates 121 is connected to a rotating support shaft 125 on opposite sides. The surface of the rotating support shaft 125 is connected to the rotating component 13 in a transmission connection. The surface of the rotating support shaft 125 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed frame 9. A threaded shaft 122 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating plate 121 located below. The upper end of the threaded shaft 122 is connected to the output end of the power selection source 123. The power selection source 123 is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 121 located above. The surface of the threaded shaft 122 is threadedly connected to the middle block 112. Multiple anti-deviation rails 124 are connected between the two rotating plates 121, and the surface of the anti-deviation rails 124 is slidably connected to the central block 112.

[0080] In this embodiment, the height of the grinding component 11 can be adjusted using the selection component 12 to select the grinding component 11 that is in contact with the semiconductor electrostatic chuck.

[0081] In use, the selected power source 123 can drive the threaded shaft 122 to rotate, thereby driving the central block 112 to move along the anti-deviation track 124, and further driving the grinding discs 115 and other structures to move in the same direction, and the height of the four grinding discs 115 can be adjusted. During polishing, four polishing discs 115 polish the semiconductor electrostatic chuck in sequence to achieve staged polishing of the semiconductor electrostatic chuck. That is, the semiconductor electrostatic chuck is ground and polished in sequence using coarse grinding discs, medium grinding discs, fine grinding discs and polishing discs.

[0082] The rotating assembly 13 includes a rotating drive source 131. Two rotating drive sources 131 are symmetrically distributed vertically on the inner side of the fixed frame 9. The output end of the rotating drive source 131 is connected to a drive gear 132. The side of the drive gear 132 meshes with a driven gear 133. The surface of the rotating support shaft 125 is fixedly and through-connected to the driven gear 133.

[0083] In use, the rotary drive source 131 drives the drive gear 132 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 133 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotary support shaft 125 to rotate. When the rotary support shaft 125 rotates, it drives the anti-deviation track 124 and the grinding assembly 11 to rotate.

[0084] The bidirectional drive source 82, the power source 123, and the rotary drive source 131 are single-axis or dual-axis motors or other devices that can output rotational kinetic energy.

[0085] The telescopic device 31, the support plate 61, and the telescopic device 101 are electric push rods, telescopic cylinders, hydraulic lifting cylinders, or other devices capable of autonomous telescopic functions.

[0086] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
