本实施方式的加工装置1具有大致如上所述的结构,以下,对本实施方式的加工装置1的功能、作用更具体地进行说明。
加工装置1实施在根据图1进行了说明的晶片10的背面10b的外周残留环状的加强部10c(参照图3的(b))而对内侧进行磨削而薄化的加工。在实施晶片10的加工时,使参照图2进行了说明的第一搬送机构16进行动作,从第一盒5a中搬出未加工的晶片10并搬送至暂放单元6,实施晶片10的中心对准。接着,利用上述的第二搬送机构7的保持部71吸附保持于暂放单元6的晶片10,搬送至定位于搬出搬入位置的卡盘工作台42,如图3的(a)所示,将粘贴有保护带T的正面10a侧朝向下方、将背面10b侧朝向上方而载置。如果将晶片10载置于卡盘工作台42,则使上述的吸引单元进行动作而对晶片10进行吸引保持。
如果将晶片10吸引保持于卡盘工作台42,则使上述的省略图示的Y轴进给机构进行动作,将卡盘工作台42定位于主轴单元30的正下方的磨削位置,并使X轴进给机构34进行动作而将主轴单元30定位于X轴方向上的期望的位置。接着,使磨削单元3的电动机33进行动作,如图3的(b)所示,使主轴300向箭头R1所示的方向以规定的速度(例如为3000rpm)旋转,并且使卡盘工作台42向箭头R2所示的方向以规定的速度(例如为300rpm)旋转。接着,使上述磨削进给机构31进行动作,使主轴单元30向箭头R3所示的方向下降,并且从省略图示的磨削水提供机构向晶片10的背面10b提供磨削水且使磨削磨轮302的磨削磨具303抵接于与形成有器件12的内侧的区域对应的区域。
如果使磨削磨具303与晶片10的背面10b抵接,则以规定的速度(例如为1.0μm/s)进行磨削进给,将晶片10磨削至期望的厚度。此时,能够一边利用省略图示的适当的厚度测量器测量晶片10的厚度一边进行磨削。磨削磨轮302的直径设定为比晶片10的直径小并且始终经过晶片10的中心,如图所示,在晶片10的背面10b中,仅对与形成有器件12的区域对应的内侧的区域进行薄化,在外周则形成环状的加强部10c。
如果如上所述通过磨削单元3对晶片10的背面10b进行磨削而使内侧的区域薄化至期望的厚度并且在外周形成了环状的加强部10c,则使磨削单元3停止,将卡盘工作台42移动至上述的图1的近前侧的搬出搬入位置。接着,利用第三搬送机构8的保持部81吸附晶片10,如图4的(a)所示,搬送至清洗单元9的旋转工作台91而使保护带T侧朝向下方进行载置。旋转工作台91具有:吸附卡盘91a,其由具有通气性的部件形成;框体91b,其围绕该吸附卡盘91a;旋转轴91c,其与框体91b连结;省略图示的电动机,其对旋转轴91c进行旋转驱动;以及省略图示的吸引单元,其在吸附卡盘91a的上表面生成负压,使该吸引单元进行动作,对载置于上表面的晶片10进行吸引保持。
在将晶片10吸引保持于旋转工作台91之后,如图4的(b)所示,使旋转工作台91在箭头R4所示的方向上以规定的速度(例如为300rpm)旋转,并将清洗水提供喷嘴92的喷嘴前端部92a定位于晶片10的上方。接着,一边使该清洗水提供喷嘴92在箭头R5所示的方向上摆动,一边向晶片10的背面10b提供清洗水L,去除残留于晶片10的背面10b的磨削水、磨削屑等。如果使清洗单元9以规定的时间进行动作而清洗了晶片10的背面10b,则停止从清洗水提供喷嘴92提供清洗水L,使清洗水提供喷嘴92移动至旋转工作台91的外侧的待机位置。接着,继续旋转工作台91的旋转,利用离心力去除残留在旋转工作台91上的清洗水L。
根据需要,如图4的(c)所示,使配设于清洗单元9的空气喷嘴93进行动作,将喷嘴前端部93a定位于晶片10的背面10b上而吹送高压的空气W,并使空气喷嘴93在图中箭头R6所示的方向上摆动,将残留于晶片10的背面10b的清洗水L和磨削屑吹飞而使晶片10干燥。另外,在使晶片10干燥时,优选提高旋转工作台91的旋转速度(例如为3000rpm)。另外,在利用清洗单元9实施晶片10的清洗和干燥时,图2中被收纳于下方的挡板9a上升,形成包含旋转工作台91的密闭的清洗空间,防止清洗水L或空气W向外部泄漏。
在上述的晶片10的背面10b上,在被实施了磨削加工而薄化的内侧的区域中残留有磨削加工的磨削应变,在本实施方式的加工装置1中,实施以下说明的用于去除磨削应变的蚀刻处理。
利用清洗单元9进行了清洗的晶片10被上述的第一搬送机构16的手部16a吸附而搬出,被搬送至蚀刻单元20,如图5的(a)所示,载置于旋转工作台21。旋转工作台21具有:吸附卡盘21a,其具有通气性;框体21b,其围绕吸附卡盘21a;旋转轴21c,其与框体21b连结;省略图示的电动机,其对旋转轴21c进行旋转驱动;以及省略图示的吸引单元,其在吸附卡盘21a的上表面生成负压,使该吸引单元进行动作,对载置于上表面的晶片10进行吸引保持。
在将晶片10载置于旋转工作台21并进行吸引保持之后,如图5的(b)所示,使旋转工作台21在箭头R7所示的方向上以规定的速度(例如为100rpm)旋转,将蚀刻液提供喷嘴22的喷嘴前端部22a定位于晶片10的上方。接着,一边使该蚀刻液提供喷嘴22在箭头R8所示的方向上摆动,一边按照规定的时间(例如为60秒)提供蚀刻液P。作为蚀刻液P,例如使用作为氢氟酸与硝酸的混合液的混酸液、TMAH(四甲基氢氧化铵)液等。
如果如上所述使蚀刻液提供喷嘴22按照该规定的时间进行动作而向晶片10的背面10b的磨削面提供了蚀刻液P,则停止从蚀刻液提供喷嘴22提供蚀刻液P,使蚀刻液提供喷嘴22移动至旋转工作台21的外侧的待机位置,如图5的(c)所示,将清洗水提供喷嘴23的喷嘴前端部23a定位于晶片10的上方。接着,一边使该清洗水提供喷嘴23在箭头R9所示的方向上摆动一边按照规定的时间提供清洗水L,利用清洗水L去除残留于晶片10的背面10b的蚀刻液P。此时,使旋转工作台21的旋转速度例如上升至300rpm。若使清洗水提供喷嘴23按照规定的时间进行动作而从晶片10的背面10b去除了蚀刻液P,则停止从清洗水提供喷嘴23提供清洗水L而使清洗水提供喷嘴23退避至旋转工作台21的外侧的待机位置。
在停止了清洗水L的提供之后,继续旋转工作台21的旋转,利用离心力去除残留在晶片10的背面10b上的清洗水L。根据需要,如图5的(d)所示,使配设于蚀刻单元20的空气喷嘴24进行动作,将喷嘴前端部24a定位于晶片10的背面10b上,使空气喷嘴24在图中箭头R10所示的方向上摆动而吹送高压的空气W,将残留于晶片10的背面10b的清洗水L吹飞而使晶片10干燥。另外,在使晶片10干燥时,优选进一步提高旋转工作台21的旋转速度(例如为3000rpm)。另外,在通过蚀刻单元20实施上述的蚀刻液P的提供、基于清洗水L的清洗以及基于空气W的干燥时,使图2中收纳于下方的挡板20a上升,形成包含旋转工作台21的密闭的蚀刻处理空间,防止蚀刻液P、清洗水L、空气W向外部泄漏。
在利用蚀刻单元20对晶片10的背面10b的磨削面提供蚀刻液P而去除了磨削应变之后,利用上述的第一搬送机构16的手部16a吸附载置于旋转工作台21的晶片10,将晶片10搬送至为了收纳加工完成的晶片10而准备的第二盒5b的规定的位置而进行收纳,完成晶片10的加工。
如上所述,在本实施方式的加工装置1中,通过对晶片10的背面10b的与形成有器件12的内侧的区域对应的区域进行磨削,在外周形成环状的加强部10c,通过配设于该加工装置1的蚀刻单元20向形成于晶片10的背面10b的外周的环状的加强部10c的内侧的磨削面提供蚀刻液P,能够从背面10b的磨削面去除应变。由此,无需将晶片10搬送至另外准备的蚀刻装置,能够避免在装置间的搬送中使晶片10破损的危险,并且不存在伴随装置间的搬送的损失时间,提高生产率。
在上述的实施方式中,对于加工装置1,与清洗单元9相邻地配设蚀刻单元20,在利用清洗单元9对晶片10进行了清洗之后,使用第一搬送机构16将晶片10搬送至蚀刻单元20并实施蚀刻处理。但是,本发明不限于此,也可以使清洗单元9和蚀刻单元20一体地共用旋转工作台,并且配设蚀刻液提供喷嘴22,使清洗单元9具有上述的蚀刻单元20的功能。在该情况下,也能够共用清洗水提供喷嘴和空气喷嘴,不从清洗单元9的旋转工作台91搬出晶片10便能够实施磨削加工后的清洗和蚀刻处理,能够节省将晶片10从清洗单元9搬送至蚀刻单元20的工夫,能够更高效地对晶片10进行加工。不过,通过如上述的实施方式那样分别设置清洗单元9和蚀刻单元20,具有如下的优点:不会将磨削屑带入实施蚀刻处理的空间中,能够使实施蚀刻处理的空间保持清洁的状态,能够防止晶片10的污染,并且能够区分包含磨削屑的清洗水L的废液和用于蚀刻处理的蚀刻液P的废液而进行处理。
另外,在上述的实施方式中,在蚀刻单元20中配设蚀刻液提供喷嘴22、清洗水提供喷嘴23以及空气喷嘴24,通过各个喷嘴实施蚀刻液P的提供、清洗水L的提供以及空气W的喷射,但也可以构成为共用一根喷嘴,通过适当地切换蚀刻液P、清洗水L、空气W而向该共用的喷嘴进行提供来实施蚀刻处理。
