Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer polishing equipment, and in particular to a convex ceramic disk and an annular belt disk for improving wafer flatness. Background Technology
[0002] The wafer fabrication process mainly includes the following six steps: Step 1: Chamfering the wafer (or other items requiring flatness processing); Step 2: Grinding the surface of the chamfered wafer; Step 3: Fixing the back of the ground wafer onto a polishing ceramic disk using an adhesive or absorbent pad; Step 4: Moving the polishing ceramic disk so that the front of the wafer on the polishing ceramic disk comes into contact with the polishing pad attached to the surface of the polishing disk, then rotating the polishing ceramic disk relative to the polishing disk, and simultaneously spraying polishing liquid onto the surface of the polishing pad on the polishing disk, so that the polishing pad polishes the front of the wafer; Step 5: Removing the polished wafer from the polishing ceramic disk and removing the adhesive from the back of the wafer; Step 6: Cleaning the wafer.
[0003] like Figure 6 As shown, the existing polishing pads and the bottom wafer mounting surface of the polishing ceramic pads have extremely high flatness. However, the flat polishing pads and polishing ceramic pads have some problems. For example, in step four above, the edge of the wafer can fully contact the fresh polishing liquid, while the center or inner side of the wafer cannot fully contact the fresh polishing liquid, which affects the final polishing level of the wafer product.
[0004] Therefore, optimizing the shape of polishing ceramic discs and / or large polishing discs to reduce the unevenness of polishing slurry distribution and decrease the mechanical action on the wafer edges during polishing, thereby improving the uniformity of wafer surface removal rate, has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convex ceramic disk and an annular large disk to improve wafer flatness, thereby solving the problem that when existing polishing ceramic disks and polishing large disks are used together for polishing operations, the uniformity of the polishing slurry distribution on the wafer surface is limited, resulting in large differences in the removal rate at different parts of the wafer.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a convex ceramic disk and an annular belt disk for improving wafer flatness. The convex ceramic disk has a wafer mounting surface at its bottom that is an arc-shaped protrusion with a preset convexity. The annular belt disk includes a large disk and an annular belt for polishing the wafer's front side. The annular belt is concentrically mounted on the upper surface of the large disk, and its cross-section is a stepped isosceles trapezoid or rectangular shape. The convex ceramic disk is rotatably disposed above and corresponds to the annular belt disk.
[0008] Optionally, the height of the arc-shaped raised surface of the convex ceramic disk is 0-30 micrometers.
[0009] Optionally, the diameter of the convex ceramic disk includes 305 mm, 360 mm, and 485 mm.
[0010] Optionally, the height of the arc-shaped raised surface of the convex ceramic disk is related to the diameter of the convex ceramic disk.
[0011] Optionally, the ratio of the height of the arc-shaped raised surface of the convex ceramic disk to the diameter of the convex ceramic disk is 8E-6 to 5.5E-5.
[0012] Optionally, the annular band is composed of multiple annular films.
[0013] Optionally, the height of the annular strip ranges from 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers.
[0014] Optionally, the ratio of the height of each annular membrane in the annular belt to the difference between the outer and inner diameters of that annular membrane is in the range of 0.15E-5 to 2.6E-4.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1) The arc-shaped raised surface of the convex ceramic disk effectively solves the problems of uneven distribution of polishing fluid and uneven distribution of wafer pressure, making the polishing removal rate of the wafer surface more uniform and ultimately obtaining a high flatness wafer.
[0017] 2) The arc-shaped raised surface of the convex ceramic disk, in conjunction with the large annular belt disk, further solves the problems of uneven distribution of polishing fluid and uneven distribution of wafer pressure, and can effectively improve the flatness of the wafer.
[0018] This device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is easy to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description
