If there is any inconsistency, the meaning explained in the specification or derived from the content described in the specification shall prevail. In addition, the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. In order to accurately describe the technical content in the present application, and in order to accurately understand the present application, before the specific embodiments are described, the terms used in the specification are first explained as follows:
[0027] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The grinding head for reducing wafer damage includes a support plate 4 and a pressure film 3, and the pressure film 3 is arranged in a mounting groove 2 inside the grinding head 1. The pressure film 3 is made of rubber material, and the pressure film 3 is adsorbed and unloaded on the wafer 7 through the existing structure. The support plate 4 is located inside the pressure film 3, and the support plate 4 supports the pressure film 3, so that the surface of the pressure film 3 is flat, and the adsorption effect of the pressure film 3 on the wafer 7 is improved.
[0029] The support plate 4 is a polyurethane plate, which has certain elasticity and hardness, supports the pressure film 3, and has certain buffering effect on the pressure acting on the wafer 7, thereby reducing damage to the wafer 7.
[0030] A buffer pad 5 is arranged between the lower surface of the support plate 4 and the inner surface of the pressure film 3, and is used to buffer the pressure acting on the wafer 7, thereby reducing deformation and damage of the wafer 7.
[0031] As shown in Figure 6 , the lower surface of the support plate 4 is provided with a groove 6 for mounting the buffer pad 5, and the groove 6 is coaxially arranged with the support plate 4. The diameter of the groove 6 is slightly larger than the diameter of the buffer pad 5. The groove 6 has the positioning effect on the buffer pad 5, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the buffer pad 5.
[0032] As shown in Figure 7 , the buffer pad 5 comprises a buffer layer 8, which is fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 4. The buffer layer 8 is a polyurethane layer, which has certain hardness and elasticity. On the one hand, the polyurethane layer has the supporting effect on the pressure film 3, and ensures the flatness of the buffer pad 5; on the other hand, the polyurethane layer can absorb energy by deformation, thereby buffering the force acting on the wafer 7, reducing deformation of the wafer 7 and damage to the wafer 7.
[0033] The upper surface of the buffer layer 8 is provided with a first adhesive layer 11, and the first adhesive layer 11 is provided with a release paper 10. After tearing off the release paper 10, the buffer layer 8 is adhered to the groove 6 of the support plate 4 through the first adhesive layer 11. The first adhesive layer 11 is a residue-free double-sided adhesive tape. Since the buffer layer 8 and the support plate 4 are both polyurethane materials, the stability of the adhesion of the buffer layer 8 and the support plate 4 is improved.
[0034] The lower surface of the buffer layer 8 is provided with a flannel 9, which is located between the buffer layer 8 and the pressure film 3. The lower surface of the buffer layer 8 is provided with a second adhesive layer 12, and the flannel 9 is fixed to the buffer layer 8 through the second adhesive layer 12. The second adhesive layer 12 is also a residue-free double-sided adhesive tape. The flannel 9 is fixed to the support plate 4 through the second adhesive layer 12, thereby ensuring the flatness, no bulge and no wrinkle of the flannel 9. The flannel 9 has certain buffering effect, and can also protect the surface of the wafer 7, thereby reducing surface damage of the wafer 7 caused by hard contact with the pressure film 3.
[0035] The size and shape of the buffer pad 5 are determined according to the size and shape of the support plate 4.
[0036] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown. When in use, tear off the release paper 10, fix the buffer pad 5 in the groove 6 of the support plate 4 through the first adhesive layer 11, load the support plate 4 into the pressure film 3, and the flannel 9 contacts the inner bottom surface of the pressure film 3. The polishing head 1 connects the external gas control pressure film 3 to adsorb the wafer 7, and the polishing head 1 drives the wafer 7 to move on the polishing pad 13 to polish the wafer 7. The pressure on the wafer 7 under the action of the support plate 4 is reduced by the support plate 4, the buffer pad 5 and the pressure film 3 through elastic deformation and energy absorption, so that the impact and vibration transmission to the wafer 7 are reduced, and the deformation and damage of the wafer 7 are reduced.
[0037] After a period of practical application, it is found that the polishing head with the added buffer pad can significantly reduce the deformation and damage of the wafer when connecting the pressure adsorption wafer, which can be verified from the quality of the wafer after batch polishing. The yield of wafer polishing is guaranteed, the cost of materials is greatly reduced, the operating cost of the enterprise is saved by several times, and the purpose of reducing cost and increasing benefit is achieved.
[0038] Therefore, the polishing head for reducing wafer damage can solve the problem that the wafer is easily damaged in the polishing process, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and convenient use.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical scheme of the utility model and not to limit it, although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical scheme of the utility model can still be modified or replaced, and these modifications or replacements cannot make the modified technical scheme deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical scheme of the utility model.
