Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grinding and polishing equipment, in particular to a grinding wheel and a grinding and polishing equipment. Background Art
[0002] Wafers are the basic raw materials for manufacturing semiconductor devices. Before integrated circuit packaging, the wafer substrate needs to be thinned. The wafer thinning process includes grinding and polishing. Currently, grinding and polishing generally involves rapid thinning through rough grinding, followed by fine grinding and polishing with polishing liquid cleaning. The grinding and polishing processes are performed separately. For example, the semiconductor wafer thinning and polishing machine disclosed in patent CN117047636A has a rough grinding mechanism and a fine grinding mechanism respectively. The wafer is first sent to the rough grinding mechanism for rough grinding, and then transferred to the fine grinding mechanism for fine grinding and polishing. The operation is relatively cumbersome, and the wafer is easily damaged during the transfer process, resulting in surface scratches and edge bumps. In addition, the separate rough grinding mechanism and fine grinding mechanism make the grinding and polishing equipment structure cumbersome and the equipment cost high.
[0003] In view of this, the applicant filed this application after studying the existing technology. Utility Model Content

The inner grinding wheel is placed in the ring of the outer polishing wheel, and its outer side wall is provided with a connecting key adapted to the connecting groove;

[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a grinding wheel, including an outer shell 1, an outer throwing wheel assembly and an inner grinding wheel assembly, which are coaxially arranged and arranged radially from outside to inside; the outer shell 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11 on the outer wall for connecting to a linear drive device; the outer throwing wheel assembly includes a sleeve 2 and an annular outer throwing wheel 3, one end of the sleeve 2 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer throwing wheel 3, and the inner side wall of the outer throwing wheel 3 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 31; the inner grinding wheel assembly includes a main shaft 4 and an inner grinding wheel 5, the main shaft 4 passes through the sleeve 2 and the outer shell 1, one end of the main shaft 4 is used to connect to the rotation drive device, and the other end is connected to the inner grinding wheel 5, and the inner grinding wheel 5 is placed in the annular area of the outer throwing wheel 3, and a connecting key 51 is provided on its outer wall that is compatible with the connecting groove 31, so that the outer throwing wheel 3 and the inner grinding wheel 5 can transmit rotational motion through the key connection, and there is no vertical mechanical position restriction between the connecting groove 31 and the connecting key 51, so that the connecting key 51 can slide up and down in the connecting groove 31.
[0029] The grinding wheel is constructed as follows: the outer shell 1 can drive the outer throwing wheel assembly to reciprocate along the axial direction of the main shaft 4 under the drive of the linear drive device. In the first working state, the position of the inner grinding wheel 5 protrudes from the outer throwing wheel 3, and the inner grinding wheel assembly is driven to rotate by the rotary drive device, so that the inner grinding wheel 5 grinds the wafer; in the second working state, the outer shell 1 is driven downward by the linear drive device, and drives the outer throwing wheel assembly downward, so that the outer throwing wheel 3 protrudes from the inner grinding wheel 5, and the inner grinding wheel assembly is driven to rotate by the rotary drive device, and the outer throwing wheel assembly is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the connecting key 51 and the connecting groove 31, so that the outer throwing wheel 3 grinds the wafer.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the inner grinding wheel 5 is a coarse grinding wheel for rough grinding and rapid thinning of the wafer, and the outer throwing wheel 3 is a fine grinding wheel for fine grinding and polishing the wafer. During rough grinding, the inner grinding wheel 5 protrudes from the outer throwing wheel 3, so the outer throwing wheel 5 does not contact the wafer, and only the inner grinding wheel 5 performs rough grinding and thinning on the wafer; after thinning is completed, the linear drive device drives the outer shell to drive the outer throwing wheel assembly to move downward, so that the outer throwing wheel 3 protrudes from the inner grinding wheel 5. At this time, the inner grinding wheel 5 does not contact the wafer, and only the outer throwing wheel 3 performs fine grinding and polishing on the wafer. The present application drives the outer throwing wheel assembly to slide up and down along the main shaft 4 through the linear drive device, so that the grinding wheel can switch between two working states, thereby realizing integrated grinding and polishing. The two processes of rough grinding and fine grinding can be completed at the same workstation, without the need to transfer the wafer, simplifying the processing process, and reducing the damage to the wafer during the transfer process. At the same time, it can simplify the equipment structure and save equipment costs.

The second bearing 41 has a clearance fit with the sleeve 3 and an interference fit with the main shaft 4. The provision of the second bearing 41 reduces friction between the main shaft 4 and the sleeve 2.
[0033] Furthermore, an annular cover 12 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. By providing the cover 12, it is possible to prevent debris or polishing fluid from splashing into the grinding wheel during the grinding process.
