Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers. Background Technology

[0002] Silicon wafers are the basic material for semiconductor chips. During semiconductor manufacturing, the back side of silicon wafers needs to be thinned to meet chip packaging and performance requirements. Specialized grinding wheels for back side thinning of silicon wafers are key tools used in this process. They thin the back side of the silicon wafer to a specified thickness through grinding, and this is a front-end process in semiconductor manufacturing.

[0003] The development of specialized grinding wheels for backside thinning of silicon wafers involves the fields of materials science and engineering. It requires the development of new grinding wheel materials and binders suitable for silicon wafer grinding, and the improvement of the grinding wheel's wear resistance, self-sharpening properties and grinding performance, in order to meet the high hardness and high precision requirements in the silicon wafer thinning process.

[0004] Cup-shaped diamond grinding wheels are a type of grinding wheel commonly used for back-side thinning of silicon wafers. Their working surfaces have inner and outer circles. When using them, the center line of the inner and outer circles needs to be adjusted to a suitable position in order to grind the wafer. Special grinding wheels for back-side thinning of silicon wafers are suitable for the rough grinding stage and can quickly remove most of the material on the back side of the wafer, thereby rapidly reducing the wafer thickness.

[0005] However, when using special grinding wheels for back-side thinning of silicon wafers to constrain the silicon wafers, they are usually clamped or placed directly. Clamping can easily affect the processing effect, while direct placement is prone to misalignment.

[0006] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems by providing a special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers, which facilitates stable placement. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers, in order to solve the problem that the special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers mentioned in the background art usually uses clamping or direct placement when restricting silicon wafers. Clamping can easily affect the processing effect, while direct placement is prone to displacement.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers, including a grinding wheel device base and a placement worktable provided at the upper end of the grinding wheel device base;

[0009] An adsorption pad is positioned at the top of the placement workbench, and a centrally connected adsorption plate is positioned in the middle of the adsorption pad. An external connecting column is positioned on the side of the placement workbench, and an internal telescopic connector is positioned in the middle of the external connecting column. An adjusting column is positioned on the side of the internal telescopic connector. The adjusting column is connected to the internal telescopic connector via a rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the external connecting column via a thread. Rotating the adjusting column allows the internal telescopic connector to extend and evacuate air from the centrally connected adsorption plate. The silicon wafer placed on the adsorption pad can adhere tightly to the adsorption pad under pressure after adsorption.

[0010] Preferably, a side connecting support rod is provided on the upper side of the workbench near the corner, and a grinding wheel device top layer is provided at the top of the side connecting support rod.

[0011] Preferably, a drive connecting cylinder is provided at the middle position of the top layer of the grinding wheel device, and a connecting sleeve assembly is connected to the bottom position of the drive connecting cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a drive motor is provided at the middle position of the connecting sleeve assembly, and a motor connecting drive shaft is provided at the bottom middle position of the drive motor.

[0013] Preferably, a grinding cup-shaped grinding wheel is provided at the bottom of the motor-connected drive shaft, and the grinding cup-shaped grinding wheel is installed and connected to the motor-connected drive shaft by a sleeve and screws.

[0014] Preferably, a status indicator light is provided on the upper side of the top layer of the grinding wheel device near the right end, and the status indicator light is provided with red, green and yellow lights.

[0015] Preferably, an operation control console is provided at the front side of the base of the grinding wheel device, and the operation control console is provided with control buttons and a data display screen.

[0016] Preferably, a bottom support foot is provided at the bottom of the base of the grinding wheel device, and the bottom support foot is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base of the grinding wheel device near the corner via a threaded column.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a special grinding wheel for back-side thinning of silicon wafers, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In a silicon wafer back-thinning grinding wheel, an adsorption pad is positioned at the top of the worktable, a centrally located adsorption plate is positioned in the middle of the adsorption pad, an outer connecting column is positioned on the side of the worktable, an inner telescopic connector is positioned in the middle of the outer connecting column, and an adjusting column is positioned on the side of the inner telescopic connector. The adjusting column is connected to the inner telescopic connector via a rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the outer connecting column via a thread. Rotating the adjusting column allows the inner telescopic connector to stretch and evacuate air from the centrally located adsorption plate. The silicon wafer placed on the adsorption pad adheres tightly to the adsorption pad under pressure after adsorption. This improved design allows for stable confinement of the silicon wafer through adsorption, while the adsorption pad increases friction, effectively preventing the silicon wafer from shifting position. The operation is simple and quick, thus significantly improving the practicality of the silicon wafer back-thinning grinding wheel. Attached Figure Description

The adjusting column 16 is connected to the internal telescopic connector 17 via a pivot shaft and is rotatably connected to the external connecting column 15 via a thread. Moving the adjusting column 16 allows the built-in telescopic connector 17 to stretch and evacuate the air from the centrally located adsorption plate 14. The silicon wafer placed on the adsorption pad 13 can adhere to the adsorption pad 13 under pressure after adsorption. With the improvement of this utility model, the silicon wafer can be stably restricted by adsorption. At the same time, the adsorption pad 13 can increase friction, effectively preventing the silicon wafer from shifting position. The operation is simple and quick, thus effectively improving the practicality of the special grinding wheel for thinning the back of the silicon wafer.

During operation, the drive connecting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve assembly 5 to drive the drive motor 6 to rise and fall to a specified height. When the grinding cup-shaped grinding wheel 8 contacts the back of the silicon wafer, the drive motor 6 drives the grinding cup-shaped grinding wheel 8 to rotate and grind the back of the silicon wafer. After grinding is completed, the drive motor 6 stops rotating, and then the drive connecting cylinder 4 drives the grinding cup-shaped grinding wheel 8 to rise and return to its original position.
