Description

Porous ceramic plate, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a porous ceramic plate, in particular to a porous ceramic plate applied to a vacuum chuck or non-contact application equipment for fixing a wafer or a workpiece, a preparation method of the porous ceramic plate and application of the porous ceramic plate.
Background
In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in order to maintain stability of a wafer in an automatic transfer process of processing such as cleaning, cutting, grinding, etc., reduce damage to the wafer and improve smoothness of a production line, a vacuum chuck is currently used as a most commonly used carrying adsorption tool, and how to make an adsorption surface of the chuck have high flatness and further improve yield of a wafer manufacturing method becomes a very important issue. Regarding the method for manufacturing the vacuum chuck, japanese patent No. 2779968 discloses a method for manufacturing a vacuum chuck, which comprises firing a raw material of ceramic and organic binder to form a blank, polishing the surface of the chuck to smooth the surface, and forming a ceramic thin film without pores on the surface of the chuck by plasma chemical vapor deposition; although the vacuum chuck with high flatness of the suction surface can be obtained by the preparation method, the preparation method has complicated preparation procedures and high production cost, and is not beneficial to commercial application.
In addition, japanese laid-open patent application No. 2002-373873 discloses a method for preparing a ceramic substrate laminate, which comprises the steps of forming a shape required by each ceramic substrate by mechanical processing of ceramic raw materials and the like, respectively firing the ceramic substrates, performing surface treatment and grooving treatment on the ceramic substrates, and then bonding the ceramic substrates by an inorganic adhesive to obtain the ceramic substrate laminate; however, the preparation process is complicated, energy-consuming, and may result in peeling between the ceramic substrates if the adhesive fails.
Further, korean patent publication No. 101149350 discloses a method for preparing a porous ceramic double layer having different pore sizes, which comprises mixing ceramic raw material powder and an organic binder, followed by a press-forming step of a support layer, and then sintering the support layer having a relatively large pore size by heating; coating slurry mixed with another ceramic raw material powder and an organic binder on one surface of the sintered support layer, and then heating and sintering to form an adsorption layer with smaller pore size by the slurry so as to obtain a double-layer porous ceramic layer with different pore sizes; however, the preparation process of the preparation method is complicated and energy-consuming, and since the adsorption layer slurry is coated on the sintered support layer, the adsorption layer slurry is filled into the holes of the sintered support layer, which causes air resistance difference between the adsorption layer and the support layer, so that the air resistance of the double-layer porous ceramic layer cannot meet the requirement when the double-layer porous ceramic layer is applied to non-contact conveying systems including an air floatation platform, an air floatation slide rail, an air floatation bearing and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the technical defects of the preparation method, the invention aims to provide a preparation method of a porous ceramic plate, which has simple preparation procedures and can improve the production benefit.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a porous ceramic plate, which can save energy and reduce production costs.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for preparing a porous ceramic plate, comprising the steps of: step (a): preparing a plurality of ceramic raw materials, wherein the ceramic raw materials respectively comprise a surface layer ceramic raw material and a bottom layer ceramic raw material, and the average grain diameter of metal oxides contained in the surface layer ceramic raw material is less than or equal to 20 micrometers; step (b): respectively carrying out a forming step on the ceramic raw materials to respectively obtain a plurality of green bodies formed by the ceramic raw materials; step (c): stacking the green blanks to form a stack, wherein the stack comprises the green blank formed by the surface layer ceramic raw material and the green blank formed by the bottom layer ceramic raw material; carrying out a forming step on the laminated layer to obtain a formed laminated layer; and, step (d): and sintering the formed lamination to obtain the porous ceramic plate, wherein the porous ceramic plate comprises a surface ceramic layer and a bottom ceramic layer which are mutually overlapped, and the average pore diameter of the surface ceramic layer is smaller than that of the bottom ceramic layer.
The surface layer ceramic raw material and the bottom layer ceramic raw material are respectively formed and then overlapped, and then a sintering step is carried out. Therefore, the porous ceramic plate obtained by the preparation method does not need to be additionally bonded by using an additional adhesive among layers, and the condition that the layers contained in the porous ceramic plate are separated due to the failure of the adhesive is avoided; in addition, the porous ceramic plate obtained by the preparation method has the characteristic of uniform overall pore distribution, and further has the advantage of good uniform air permeability. The surface ceramic layer of the porous ceramic plate has fine average pore size by limiting the average particle size range of the metal oxide contained in the surface ceramic raw material, so that the workpiece can be kept flat and not deformed even when the porous ceramic plate is used for adsorbing and fixing a thin workpiece (such as a wafer) so as to be beneficial to accurate measurement or processing of the workpiece; and when the porous ceramic plate is subsequently connected with a vacuum or gas supply system, the bottom ceramic layer connected with the system has larger average pore diameter so as to reduce gas resistance, further reduce energy consumption and ensure that the porous ceramic plate simultaneously achieves the effects of rigidity and gas permeability. When the air cushion is applied to a non-contact type conveying system, a uniform and stable air cushion layer can be provided, the flatness of the surface of an object is kept, and the air cushion can be applied to conveying the object with high precision or large area.
Preferably, the average particle diameter of the metal oxide contained in the surface layer ceramic raw material used in the step (a) is 10 μm or less; more preferably, the surface ceramic raw material used in step (a) contains metal oxide having an average particle diameter in a range of 0.01 to 8 μm.
In one embodiment, the plurality of ceramic raw materials may be represented as two ceramic raw materials, and in this embodiment, the plurality of ceramic raw materials are a surface layer ceramic raw material and a bottom layer ceramic raw material; in another embodiment, the plurality of ceramic raw materials may also be represented as three ceramic raw materials, in which case the plurality of ceramic raw materials are a surface layer ceramic raw material, a first middle layer ceramic raw material, and a bottom layer ceramic raw material; in yet another embodiment, the plurality of ceramic starting materials may be further represented as four ceramic starting materials, and in this embodiment, the plurality of ceramic starting materials are a surface layer ceramic starting material, a first intermediate layer ceramic starting material, a second intermediate layer ceramic starting material, and a bottom layer ceramic starting material. The ceramic starting material to which the present invention is applicable is illustrated here, but is not limited to the above three embodiments.
Therefore, when the ceramic raw materials are more than two ceramic raw materials, the porous ceramic plate further comprises at least one intermediate ceramic layer formed by the intermediate ceramic raw materials, the average pore size of the surface ceramic layer is smaller than that of the intermediate ceramic layer, and the average pore size of the intermediate ceramic layer is smaller than that of the bottom ceramic layer. For example, when the ceramic raw materials are three ceramic raw materials, the first intermediate layer ceramic raw material may form a first intermediate layer ceramic layer, the average pore size of the surface layer ceramic layer is smaller than the average pore size of the first intermediate layer ceramic layer, and the average pore size of the first intermediate layer ceramic layer is smaller than the average pore size of the bottom layer ceramic layer; when the ceramic raw materials are four ceramic raw materials, the first intermediate layer ceramic material and the second intermediate layer ceramic material can form a first intermediate layer ceramic layer and a second intermediate layer ceramic layer, the average pore size of the surface layer ceramic layer is smaller than that of the first intermediate layer ceramic layer, the average pore size of the first intermediate layer ceramic layer is smaller than that of the second intermediate layer ceramic layer, and the average pore size of the second intermediate layer ceramic layer is smaller than that of the bottom layer ceramic layer. The average pore size of the intermediate layer ceramic layer formed by the intermediate layer ceramic raw material is between the average pore sizes of the surface layer ceramic layer and the bottom layer ceramic layer, so that ventilation from the bottom layer ceramic layer to the surface layer ceramic layer can be smoother.
In order to make the average pore diameters of the ceramic layers different in the porous ceramic plate, it is preferable that the average particle diameters of the metal oxides contained in the ceramic raw materials in step (a) are different; for example, when the ceramic materials are two ceramic materials, the average particle size of the metal oxide contained in the surface layer ceramic material is smaller than the average particle size of the metal oxide contained in the bottom layer ceramic material; when the ceramic raw materials are three ceramic raw materials, the average particle size of the metal oxide contained in each of the surface layer ceramic raw material, the first intermediate layer ceramic raw material and the bottom layer ceramic raw material is from the metal oxide contained in the surface layer ceramic raw material to the metal oxide contained in the first intermediate layer ceramic raw material to the metal oxide contained in the bottom layer ceramic raw material in order from small to large; when the ceramic raw materials are four kinds of ceramic raw materials, the average particle size of the metal oxide contained in each of the surface layer ceramic raw material, the first intermediate layer ceramic raw material, the second intermediate layer ceramic raw material and the bottom layer ceramic raw material is, in order from the metal oxide contained in the surface layer ceramic raw material, the metal oxide contained in the first intermediate layer ceramic raw material, the metal oxide contained in the second intermediate layer ceramic raw material to the metal oxide contained in the bottom layer ceramic raw material from small to large. Then, in the step (c), the green compacts are stacked in order of the average particle size of the metal oxide contained in the ceramic material contained in each green compact to form the stack.
In some embodiments, the ceramic raw materials in step (a) may further include pore-forming fillers that are easily burned or decomposed to create pores, such as: calcium carbonate (CaCO)3) Magnesium carbonate (MgCO)3) Poly (methyl methacrylate), PMMA), Polystyrene (Polystyrene, PS), or the like, but not limited thereto. For example, the pore-forming filler is added to only the bottom ceramic material in step (a), or the pore-forming filler is added to both the middle ceramic material and the bottom ceramic material in step (a), so as to increase the average pore size and porosity of the bottom ceramic layer and/or the middle ceramic layer.
In some embodiments, the plurality of ceramic starting materials of step (a) may each include a thickening agent, such as: starch (Starch), Methyl Cellulose (Methyl Cellulose), and the like, but is not limited thereto. By adding the thickening agent into the ceramic raw materials, all components in the ceramic raw materials can be uniformly mixed, so that the pore uniformity of the porous ceramic plate can be improved; in addition, the thickening agent is usually a material that can be burned off, and can also improve the porosity and air permeability of the ceramic plate.
According to the present invention, the forming step in step (b) and step (c) may use injection molding, pressure molding, extrusion molding, or calendar molding, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, in the step (b), the surface layer ceramic raw material and the base layer ceramic raw material are each formed by a rolling forming method; preferably, the lamination in step (c) is also subjected to a forming step using a calendar forming method. The ceramic raw materials or the laminated layers are rolled by using a horizontal roller, so that the process is simple, and the thickness required by each layer can be achieved without thickening for many times.
Preferably, the calendering method used in step (b) has a calendering force of more than 10 mg per square centimeter, a calendering temperature of between 0 ℃ and 100 ℃ and a calendering environment humidity of between 0 and 100 relative humidity.
Preferably, the calendering method used in step (c) has a calendering force of more than 1000 mg per square centimeter, a calendering temperature of between 15 ℃ and 40 ℃ and a calendering environment humidity of between 40 and 100 relative humidity.
In some embodiments, the metal oxide contained in the plurality of ceramic raw materials in step (a) includes, but is not limited to, iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and the like. For example, iron oxides include ferrous oxide (FeO), ferric oxide (Fe)2O3) Etc., but are not limited thereto; the manganese oxide includes manganese monoxide (MnO) and manganomanganic oxide (Mn)3O4) Manganese oxide (Mn)2O3) Manganese dioxide (MnO)2) Etc., but are not limited thereto; the chromium oxide includes chromium monoxide (CrO) and chromium sesquioxide (Cr)2O3) Chromium trioxide (CrO)3) Etc., but are not limited thereto; the cobalt oxide comprises cobalt monoxide (CoO) and cobalt sesquioxide (Co)2O3) Cobaltosic oxide (Co)3O4) Etc., but are not limited thereto; the copper oxide comprises cuprous oxide (Cu)2O), copper oxide (CuO), and the like, but is not limited thereto. The properties such as conductivity and mechanical strength of the porous ceramic plate as a whole can be adjusted according to the properties of the metal oxide contained in the ceramic material. For example, in order to adjust the conductivity, the ceramic raw material may include metal oxides such as iron oxide, copper oxide, manganese oxide, etc., but is not limited thereto; preferably, the ceramic raw materials contain iron oxide in an amount of 20 wt% or more based on the total weight of the ceramic raw materials; more preferably, the ceramic starting materials comprise iron oxide in an amount of 30 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the ceramic starting materials. Preferably, the ceramic starting materials contain copper oxide in an amount of 0.01 wt% or more based on the total weight of the ceramic starting materials; more preferably, the ceramic starting materials contain copper oxide in an amount of 0.01 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the ceramic starting materials. In order to adjust the mechanical strength, the ceramic raw material may include metal oxides such as manganese oxide, cobalt oxide, magnesium oxide, etc., but is not limited thereto; preferably, the ceramic raw materials contain manganese oxide in an amount of 0.01 wt% or more based on the total weight of the ceramic raw materials; more preferably, the ceramic starting materials contain manganese oxide in an amount of 0.01 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the ceramic starting materials. Preferably, the cobalt oxide contained in these ceramic raw materials contains cobalt oxide in an amount of 0.01 wt% or more based on the total weight of these ceramic raw materials; more preferably, the ceramic starting materials contain cobalt oxide in an amount of 0.01 to 50 weight percent based on the total weight of the ceramic starting materials.
In some embodiments, the plurality of ceramic starting materials in step (a) may not contain silicon carbide or other high hardness particles (e.g., diamond) to avoid the hardness of the finally formed porous ceramic plate from being too high to scratch the wafer or workpiece easily.
Other auxiliary additives such as a binder, a thermal expansion control agent, a conductivity control agent, an antistatic agent, a mechanical strength control agent, a friction coefficient adjusting agent, and the like may be added to the ceramic raw materials according to the use requirements without affecting the effect of the method for manufacturing the porous ceramic plate of the present invention.
Sintering is to react the green bodies in a high-temperature environment, and heat the bonding agent in the ceramic raw materials to be higher than the glass transition temperature of the bonding agent so as to bond the ceramic raw materials to form a uniform solid phase; therefore, the selection of the sintering temperature is also influenced by the different types of binders. The environmental temperature during the sintering process affects the pore size, pore distribution, structural shape and material composition in the porous ceramic plate, and further affects the performance of the porous ceramic plate. When the sintering temperature is too high, the thermal stress generated by the ceramic plate is too large, which may cause the ceramic plate after sintering to warp, and the ceramic plate to crack or even break. Preferably, the sintering temperature in step (d) is from 500 ℃ to 1250 ℃, more preferably, the sintering temperature in step (d) is from 520 ℃ to 950 ℃. The sintering temperature in the range can reduce the energy consumption and simultaneously improve the yield of the porous ceramic plate obtained after sintering.
In addition, the invention also provides the porous ceramic plate prepared by the preparation method of the porous ceramic plate.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a porous ceramic plate comprising a top ceramic layer and a bottom ceramic layer stacked on each other, the top ceramic layer having an average pore size smaller than that of the bottom ceramic layer. The porous ceramic plate has the characteristic of uniform overall pore distribution, so that the porous ceramic plate has the advantage of good air permeability, and the problem of energy consumption caused by high air resistance of the conventional porous ceramic plate can be solved.

Discussion of Experimental results
Compared with the existing preparation method, the preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages that the steps are simple, the operation is easy, the manufacturing method is easy to control, and the production yield of the porous ceramic plate is improved; and because only one-time sintering is carried out, the preparation procedure can be simplified and energy can be saved; in addition, the porous ceramic plates of examples 1 to 5 were uniformly distributed in pores and had good air permeability due to the one-time sintering, thereby improving the quality of the porous ceramic plates.
The surface ceramic layer of the porous ceramic plate has smaller average pore size, so that the workpiece can be kept flat and not deformed even when the porous ceramic plate is used for fixing a very thin workpiece (such as a wafer), and the porous ceramic plate is favorable for accurately measuring or processing the workpiece; when the porous ceramic plate is subsequently connected with a vacuum system, the air resistance is reduced due to the fact that the bottom ceramic layer has a larger average pore size, energy consumption can be reduced, and sufficient supporting force can be provided. In addition, because the surface ceramic layer has smaller average pore size, when the ceramic layer is used as an adsorption platform, the ceramic layer can be applied to local adsorption because of low air leakage, namely, the adsorbed workpiece does not need to completely cover the adsorption platform. In addition, because the middle layer ceramic layer and/or the bottom layer ceramic layer with larger pore diameters are compounded on the lower layer of the surface layer ceramic layer of the porous ceramic plate, the porous ceramic plate can provide larger supporting force and larger adsorption force, reduce air resistance and maintain the rigidity of the whole ceramic plate, achieve larger adsorption force and reduce energy consumption, and avoid the problems of overlarge air resistance and reduced surface adsorption force caused by the fact that the whole porous ceramic plate has fine pore diameters.

Changes in detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention, all within the scope of the invention as expressed in the general meaning of the claims, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
