These terms are only used to distinguish one piece of information from another piece of information of the same type. For example, without departing from the scope of the present application, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "when" or "upon determination" or "in response to determining".

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and their technical features can be combined with each other.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an exemplary scenario applicable to embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) device may include: a polishing head 2, a polishing pad 3, a liquid supply device 4, a dressing device 5, and a polishing disc 6.

[0031] The polishing disk 6 is located at the center of the wafer processing chamber, the polishing pad 3 is located on the polishing disk 6, the liquid supply device 4 and the dressing device 5 are rotatably located on the outer periphery of the polishing disk 6, and the polishing head 2 is movably located in the wafer processing chamber for moving the wafer to contact the polishing pad 3 for polishing and removing the wafer from the polishing pad 3.

[0032] The polishing head 2 loads the wafer to be polished and places it against the polishing pad 3 above the polishing disk 6. During the polishing process, the liquid supply device 4 supplies polishing liquid to the polishing pad 3, and the polishing liquid flows between the wafer and the polishing pad 3 to aid in polishing. During the polishing process, the dresser 5 dresses the surface of the polishing pad 3.

[0033] However, during operation, the motor driving the dresser may experience sudden and uncontrolled speed fluctuations due to abnormal factors (abnormal control signals, strong interference signals, or internal circuit malfunctions in the servo driver). If the motor continues to exceed its maximum speed, the dresser may collide with the machine's internal structure. Figure 2 The cavity wall shown in the image may be damaged; it could even be shattered, compromising the sealing of the chemical mechanical polishing equipment and posing a serious hazard to the entire machine and personnel outside the machine.

[0034] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus, such as... Figures 3-4As shown, the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) equipment includes a support structure 11 and a limiting component 12. The support structure 11 is disposed on the cavity wall of the wafer processing chamber where the dresser 5 is located. The limiting component 12 is disposed between the support portion 51 and the swing arm 52 included in the dresser 5. The limiting component 12 is used to contact the support structure 11 when the swing arm 52 rotates to a limit position with the position of the support portion 51 as the center, thereby limiting the swing arm 52. The limit position is used to indicate the position where the distance between the distal end of the swing arm 52 and the cavity wall is less than a distance threshold. Specifically, the limit position can be the angle of rotation of the swing arm 52 relative to the initial position, or it can be the rotation distance of a certain position of the swing arm 52 relative to the initial position.

[0035] To limit the movement of the swing arm 52 of the dresser 5, a support structure 11 can be provided on the cavity wall of the wafer processing chamber, and a limiting component 12 can be installed between the support part 51 of the dresser 5 and the swing arm 52. The relative position of the limiting component 12 and the swing arm 52 is fixed. During the rotation of the swing arm 52 of the dresser 5, the limiting component 12 rotates with the swing arm 52 at the same angle. When the swing arm 52 rotates to the limit position, the limiting component 12 will contact the support structure 11. At this time, since the support structure 11 blocks the limiting component 12, the limiting component 12 cannot continue to rotate. Therefore, even if the swing arm 52 is driven by a motor, it cannot continue to rotate.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 11 can be mounted on the bracket 71 included in the cavity wall. The straight line of the bracket 71 is perpendicular to the plane of the rotation path of the swing arm 52. Since the cavity wall is thin, the stability of the support structure 11 can be improved by mounting the support structure 11 on the bracket 71 included in the cavity wall. In addition, since the straight line of the bracket 71 is perpendicular to the plane of the rotation path of the swing arm 52, the bracket 71 can further improve the stability of the support structure 11 when the support structure 11 is subjected to the force of the limiting component 12.

[0037] Specifically, the support structure 11 is made of metal. By making the support structure 11 of metal, the support structure 11 can have higher strength.

[0038] In this embodiment of the application, by setting the support structure 11 and the limiting component 12, the swing arm 52 can be limited when it rotates to the limit position. Therefore, even if the motor speed suddenly goes out of control, the swing arm 52 will not rotate beyond the limit position, thereby avoiding the swing arm 52 from hitting the internal structure of the machine.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the support structure 11 includes a first support member 111 and a second support member 112, wherein the first support member 111 is fixedly installed on the cavity wall and the second support member 112 is fixedly installed on the first support member 111.

[0040] The support structure 11 can include two parts of a first support 111 and a second support 112. The first support 111 can be a flat plate structure and is directly fixed and installed on the cavity wall. The second support 112 can be fixed and installed on the first support 111 by means of a bolt or the like.

[0041] Specifically, the included angle between the plane where the second support 112 is located and the plane where the first support 111 is located can be 45°.

[0042] By setting the included angle between the plane where the second support 112 is located and the plane where the first support 111 is located to be 45°, the force applied by the limiting assembly 12 can be better conducted, thereby improving the crashworthiness of the support structure 11.

[0043] Specifically, the surface of the first support 111 in contact with the cavity wall is a trapezoid, and the ratio of the length of the upper base to the length of the lower base of the surface of the first support 111 in contact with the cavity wall is 1:4, wherein the upper base and the lower base are arranged in sequence in the direction in which the limiting assembly 12 moves towards the second support 112.

[0044] By setting the ratio of the length of the upper base to the length of the lower base of the surface of the first support 111 in contact with the cavity wall to be 1:4, the part of the first support 111 where the longer lower base is located can better support the second support 112 when the limiting assembly 12 applies force to the second support 112.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the first support 111 and the second support 112, the position of the second support 112 can be adjusted according to different trimmers, thereby adapting to more models of trimmers.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the support structure 11 can further include a pad 113, which is arranged on the surface of the limiting assembly 12 in contact with the second support 112. The pad 113 is used to contact the limiting assembly 12 when the swing arm 52 rotates to the limit position with the position where the support part 51 is located as the center, so as to limit the swing arm 52.

[0047] Specifically, the pad 113 is made of polyoxymethylene material, and the thickness of the pad 113 is in the range of [14mm, 15mm], the width of the pad 113 is in the range of [15mm, 17mm], and the length of the pad 113 is in the range of [45mm, 51mm].

[0048] For example, the thickness of the cushion block 113 can be 14.5 mm, the width can be 16 mm, and the length can be 48 mm. In this way, the cushion block 113 has sufficient compression space, and the cushion block 113 has sufficient width and length to ensure that the support structure 11 contacts the limiting assembly 12, and the limiting assembly 12 only contacts the cushion block 113, thereby protecting other devices.

[0049] Specifically, the limiting assembly 12 is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion is used to contact the cushion block 113 when the swing arm 52 rotates to the limit position with the position of the support part 51 as the center, so as to limit the swing arm 52.

[0050] By providing the protrusion on the limiting assembly 12 to contact the cushion block 113, the force of the swing arm 52 can be better transmitted to the support structure 11 through the limiting assembly 12, thereby improving the limiting effect of the swing arm 52.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the cushion block 113 on the surface of the limiting assembly 12 in contact with the second support 112, the cushion block 113 can better buffer the impact of the limiting assembly 12 and the support structure 11, thereby protecting the support structure 11 and the limiting assembly 12.

[0052] In addition, by cooperating the cushion block 113 and the support structure 11, the cushion block 113 buffers, and the angle between the plane where the second support 112 of the support structure 11 is located and the plane where the first support 111 is located can be 45°, which can disperse the force. The support structure 11 can also contact the cavity wall through the first support 111, and specifically can be fixedly connected with the support 71 of the cavity wall, to ensure the stability after being stressed. This layered shock absorption and force guaranteeing structure can effectively limit the movement range of the trimmer.

[0053] In a possible implementation manner, the limiting assembly 12 includes a first sleeve ring and a second sleeve ring. The first end of the first sleeve ring corresponds to the first end of the second sleeve ring and can be sleeved with each other. The second end of the first sleeve ring is fixedly connected with the second end of the second sleeve ring.

[0054] The limiting assembly 12 can be composed of the first sleeve ring and the second sleeve ring. The first sleeve ring and the second sleeve ring are sleeved at the connection between the swing arm 52 and the support part 51, and then the first end of the first sleeve ring is sleeved with the first end of the second sleeve ring, so that the installation of the limiting assembly 12 is completed.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting assembly 12 includes the first sleeve ring and the second sleeve ring, which can make the installation of the limiting assembly 12 more convenient.

[0056] In a possible implementation manner, the limiting assembly 12 includes a first ring body and a second ring body.

[0057] The first end of the first ring body is fixedly connected with the first end of the second ring body, the second end of the first ring body is provided with an internally threaded through hole, the second end of the second ring body is provided with an internally threaded blind hole, and the second end of the first ring body is connected with the second end of the second ring body through a bolt.

[0058] When the limiting assembly 12 is installed, the first ring body and the second ring body are sleeved at the connection between the swing arm 52 and the support part 51, then the bolt is placed in the internally threaded through hole and the internally threaded blind hole, and the installation of the limiting assembly 12 is completed after being tightened.

[0059] In the embodiment of the application, by adjusting the bolt, the distance between the second end of the first ring body and the second end of the second ring body can be controlled, and then the size of the area surrounded by the first ring body and the second ring body is controlled, so that the limiting assembly 12 can be adapted to multiple models of trimmers.

[0060] The embodiment of the application provides a chemical mechanical polishing device, which comprises a polishing head, a polishing pad, a liquid supply device, a trimmer, a polishing disc, a motor and a controller arranged in a wafer processing chamber. The polishing disc is arranged at the center of the wafer processing chamber, the polishing pad is arranged on the polishing disc, the liquid supply device and the trimmer are rotationally arranged at the outer periphery of the polishing disc, and the polishing head is movably arranged in the wafer processing chamber and used to move a wafer to abut against the polishing pad for polishing and move the wafer away from the polishing pad. The chemical mechanical polishing device further comprises a support structure and a limiting assembly. The support structure is arranged on the cavity wall of the wafer processing chamber where the trimmer is located, and the limiting assembly is arranged between the support part included in the trimmer and the swing arm included in the trimmer. The motor is used to drive the swing arm to rotate with the position where the support part is located as the center. The limiting assembly is used to contact the support structure when the swing arm rotates to a limit position, so as to limit the swing arm and generate a stop signal. The limit position is used to indicate a position where the distance between the distal end of the swing arm and the cavity wall of the wafer processing chamber is less than a distance threshold. The controller is used to control the motor to stop driving the swing arm in response to the stop signal.

[0061] The limit position is used to indicate a position where the distance between the distal end of the swing arm and the cavity wall is less than the distance threshold. Specifically, the limit position can be the angle of rotation of the swing arm relative to the initial position, or the rotation distance of a certain position of the swing arm relative to the initial position.

[0062] In order to limit the swing arm of the trimmer, a support structure can be provided on the cavity wall of the wafer processing chamber, and a limiting component is installed between the trimmer support part and the swing arm. The relative pose of the limiting component and the swing arm is fixed. During the rotation of the swing arm driven by the motor with the position where the support part is located as the center, the limiting component rotates at the same angle as the swing arm. When the swing arm rotates to the limit position, the limiting component will contact the support structure. At this time, the limiting component cannot continue to rotate because the support structure blocks it. Therefore, even if the swing arm is driven by the motor, it cannot continue to rotate. At the same time, the swing arm will generate a stop signal and send it to the controller. The controller will respond to the stop signal to control the motor to stop driving the swing arm, thereby avoiding the swing arm being limited while still being driven by the motor, which can cause damage to the corresponding equipment.

[0063] Specifically, the chemical mechanical polishing equipment further comprises a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is arranged at one end of the limiting component facing the support part. When the swing arm rotates to the limit position, the pressure sensor contacts the support structure. The pressure sensor is used to generate a stop signal when it contacts the support structure.

[0064] A pressure sensor can be arranged at one end of the limiting component facing the support part. The pressure sensor is opposite to the support structure. During the rotation of the swing arm driven by the motor, the limiting component is rotated, thereby driving the pressure sensor to rotate towards the support structure. When the swing arm is driven by the motor to rotate to the limit position, the pressure sensor will contact the support structure, thereby generating a stop signal. After obtaining the stop signal, the controller will control the motor to stop driving the swing arm. By arranging the pressure sensor, the accuracy of the timing control of stopping the motor to drive the swing arm can be further improved.

[0065] Specifically, the pressure sensor is used to generate a pressure reading after contacting the support structure, and generate a stop signal when the pressure reading is greater than a pressure threshold. When the swing arm rotates to the limit position at a certain speed, the pressure sensor will generate a reading when it contacts the support structure. However, if the speed of the swing arm when it rotates to the limit position is not high, the swing arm can be stopped through the interaction between the limiting component and the support structure without damaging the corresponding equipment in a short time. Therefore, a certain pressure threshold can be set. Only when the pressure reading is greater than the pressure threshold, the pressure sensor will generate a stop signal.

[0066] In addition, the pressure threshold can also be equal to 0, that is, no matter how fast the swing arm is when the pressure sensor contacts the support structure, the pressure sensor will generate a stop signal, thereby further improving the safety of the equipment.
