[0033] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a polishing disc 100, including a base 110 and a polishing head 120. The polishing head 120 is disposed on the base 110 and is rotatable relative to the base 110. A polishing cutter 121 and a drain groove 130 are provided on the side of the polishing head 120 away from the base 110. The width of the drain groove 130 gradually increases from the center to the edge of the polishing head 120. This polishing disc 100 can promptly discharge polishing fluid and polishing particles, reducing the risk of scratches or microcracks caused by polishing particles on the wafer surface, and improving polishing accuracy and quality.

[0035] Optionally, the grinding head 120 is provided with multiple grinding cutters 121, and a drainage groove 130 is formed between adjacent grinding cutters 121. The multiple grinding cutters 121 are evenly distributed to improve the grinding quality. The drainage grooves 130 are distributed to fully discharge the grinding fluid and grinding particles, reducing damage to the wafer surface caused by the grinding particles. The drainage grooves 130 and the grinding cutters 121 are alternately spaced in the circumferential direction of the grinding head 120, resulting in more complete and smoother drainage.

[0036] Optionally, the grinding cutter 121 is fan-shaped, with its width gradually increasing from the center to the edge of the grinding head 120. In this embodiment, the grinding cutter 121 has a first side surface 122 and a second side surface extending from the center of the grinding head 120 towards the edge, and an arc surface 123 connecting the first side surface 122 and the second side surface, the arc surface 123 being arranged along the edge contour line of the grinding head 120. The first side surface 122 and the second side surface are arranged opposite to each other. It can be understood that the first side surface 122 and the second side surface also serve as the walls of the drainage groove 130. Optionally, the first side surface 122 and the second side surface can be planar or curved. In this embodiment, the first side surface 122 and the second side surface are curved arc surfaces. This arrangement is more conducive to the smooth drainage of the grinding fluid.

[0037] Optionally, the number of grinding tools 121 is eight, evenly spaced in the circumferential direction. Each grinding tool 121 extends outward from the center of the grinding head 120. In some embodiments, the number of grinding tools 121 may also be two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten or more. The shape and size of each grinding tool 121 may be the same or different, and their shape and size can be flexibly set according to actual needs, without specific limitations here.

[0038] Combination Figure 4 Optionally, the grinding tool 121 includes a first tool 141 and a second tool 142 that are independent of each other. A top shaft 143 is provided on the grinding head 120. The first tool 141 and / or the second tool 142 are connected to the top shaft 143 so that the first tool 141 and / or the second tool 142 can move along the axial direction of the grinding head 120. The top shaft 143 may be connected only to the first tool 141, driving the first tool 141 to move. Alternatively, the top shaft 143 may be connected only to the second tool 142, driving the second tool 142 to move.

[0039] Alternatively, the top shaft 143 includes a first top shaft and a second top shaft, with the first top shaft connected to the first cutting tool 141 and the second top shaft connected to the second cutting tool 142. The first top shaft drives the first cutting tool 141 to move axially along the grinding head 120, and the second top shaft drives the second cutting tool 142 to move axially along the grinding head 120.

[0040] Optionally, one end of the top shaft 143 is fixedly connected to either the first tool 141 or the second tool 142, while the other end of the top shaft 143 is movably mounted on the base 110. The axis of the top shaft 143 is parallel to the axis of the grinding head 120. By setting the top shaft 143, the first tool 141 and the second tool 142 can be located at different height planes. Thus, depending on different working conditions, it is possible to select only the first tool 141 or only the second tool 142 for grinding operations.

[0041] Optionally, the grinding mesh size of the first tool 141 is smaller than that of the second tool 142. The first tool 141 is suitable for fine grinding and polishing, while the second tool 142 is suitable for rough grinding to reduce the wafer thickness. Thus, in the actual grinding process, the second tool 142 can be used first for rough grinding of the wafer surface, and then the first tool 141 can be used for fine grinding. It can be understood that if only the first tool 141 is used for grinding, the top shaft 143 pushes the first tool 141 out above the surface of the second tool 142, so that there is no interference between the first tool 141 and the second tool 142 during grinding. Similarly, if only the second tool 142 is used for grinding, the top shaft 143 pushes the second tool 142 out above the surface of the first tool 141, so that there is no interference between the second tool 142 and the first tool 141 during grinding.

[0042] Optionally, the number of first cutting tools 141 is greater than the number of second cutting tools 142. Having more first cutting tools 141 and fewer second cutting tools 142 results in a wider drainage channel 130 between the second cutting tools 142, which facilitates the discharge of large abrasive particles. In this embodiment, the drainage channel 130 includes a first drainage channel 131 and a second drainage channel 132; a first drainage channel 131 is formed between adjacent first cutting tools 141, and a second drainage channel 132 is formed between adjacent second cutting tools 142. The average width of the second drainage channel 132 is greater than the average width of the first drainage channel 131. This facilitates the discharge of large abrasive particles during the operation of the second cutting tools 142, preventing large abrasive particles from damaging the wafer surface or causing microcracks in the wafer.

[0043] It should be noted that, depending on actual needs, the grinding tool 121 can also be equipped with three or more tools with different grinding meshes to meet different grinding requirements.

[0044] Combination Figure 5Optionally, of the base 110 and the grinding head 120, one has a mounting hole 124, and the other has a mounting shaft 111, with the mounting shaft 111 disposed within the mounting hole 124. In this embodiment, the base 110 has a mounting shaft 111, and the grinding head 120 has a mounting hole 124. The mounting hole 124 of the grinding head 120 is fitted onto the mounting shaft 111 of the base 110 to achieve relative rotation between the grinding head 120 and the base 110. Optionally, the mounting shaft 111 passes through the base 110, and the mounting shaft 111 can drive the grinding head 120 to rotate.

[0045] Optionally, the polishing disc 100 in this embodiment further includes a drive unit (not shown) and a control box 150. The drive unit is connected to the mounting shaft 111 and is used to drive the mounting shaft 111 to rotate, thereby driving the polishing head 120 to rotate, so as to realize the polishing of the wafer surface by the polishing tool 121. The drive unit includes, but is not limited to, a motor or electric motor. The control box 150 is used to control the start, stop, acceleration and deceleration of the drive unit, so as to control the rotation of the mounting shaft 111 and adjust the rotation speed of the mounting shaft 111.

[0046] Of course, in some other embodiments, other methods can be used to drive the grinding head 120 to rotate, which are not specifically limited here.

[0047] In summary, the grinding disc 100 provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects, including:

[0048] The grinding disc 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention features a grinding tool 121 and a drain groove 130 on a grinding head 120. The width of the drain groove 130 gradually increases from the center to the edge of the grinding head 120. This allows for the rapid discharge of particulate matter during the grinding process, facilitating particle removal and preventing particle accumulation on the wafer surface, which could cause scratches and microcracks. The grinding disc 100 in this embodiment reduces the risk of scratches and microcracks on the wafer surface during the grinding process, improving grinding accuracy and quality. Furthermore, by using a first tool 141 and a second tool 142 with different grinding mesh sizes, coarse and fine grinding can be achieved on the same grinding head 120, resulting in high grinding efficiency and good grinding quality.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
