Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a surface polishing apparatus which polishes both surfaces of a workpiece held by a carrier using an upper and a lower surface plate, and in particular, to an elevating mechanism for raising and lowering the upper and lower surface plates while the workpiece is being loaded, unloaded, or polished.
- A known surface polishing apparatus for uses such as lapping or polishing comprises rotatable sun and internal gears that are coaxially located and upper and lower surface plates. A workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer, held by a carrier that engages the sun and internal gears to follow an epicyclic path is sandwiched by the upper and lower surface plates for polishing.
- In such a surface polishing apparatus, when the workpiece is loaded or unloaded or the upper surface is raised or lowered for polishing, an air cylinder or a servo motor is used for elevation or lowering.
- Use of an air cylinder or servo motor alone creates no problem if the upper surface plate is relatively light, for example, several tens of kilograms to several hundred kilograms. However, in a modern polishing apparatus that has a complicated structure to provide improved polishing accuracy and in which the total weight of an upper surface plate assembly--including an upper surface plate, a support frame for the plate, and a drive and other associated mechanisms--is several to 10 tons, it is very difficult to raise and lower this upper surface plate assembly using only an air cylinder or servo motor. In the former case a large air cylinder is required which, because of air compression, cannot stop the upper surface plate assembly accurately at a specified position. The latter requires a large, expensive servo motor resulting in the need for a large-scale elevating mechanism, including a control apparatus for the elevating mechanism.
- It is a technical object of this invention to provide an upper surface plate elevating mechanism that can use a small elevating mechanism to simply and accurately raise and lower an upper surface plate and stop the plate at a specified position even if the total weight of the upper surface plate including its associated equipment is large.
- The present invention provides an elevating mechanism which uses a load receiving air cylinder to constantly urges upward a frame that supports the upper surface plate. This arrangement allows the air cylinder to support part of the load of the upper surface plate assembly, including the upper surface plate and the surface plate supporting frame. The upper surface plate assembly is then raised and lowered by a servo motor.
- This configuration makes it possible to use a small air cylinder and servo mechanism, thus reducing the size of the elevating mechanism. Furthermore the small servo motor used to raise and lower the upper surface plate assembly can stop it at a specified position simply and accurately.
- According to one preferred embodiment, a plurality of load-receiving air cylinders are provided arranged in a regular pattern, and a drive shaft for the servo motor is disposed at the center of the arrangement of the air cylinders.
- According to a specific embodiment, the surface plate supporting frame is cantilevered on a base member provided on a body of the surface polishing apparatus. The load-receiving air cylinders are installed between the base member and the surface plate supporting frame.
- The base member can be rotated relative to the body so that the surface plate supporting frame can be swiveled, via the base member, between a workpiece polishing position and an unloading position.
- The invention will now be further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a side view showing one embodiment of a polishing apparatus using an elevating mechanism according to this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the integral part of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a top view of the integral part of FIG. 1.
-
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a surface polishing apparatus to which an upper surface plate elevating mechanism according to this invention has been added.
Reference numeral 1 designates a body, 2 is a lower surface plate disposed so as to be rotatable on thebody 1 and coupled to a drive source (not shown), and 3 is an upper surface plate coaxially located over thelower surface plate 2. Theupper surface plate 3 is attached so as to be rotatable to the tip of a surfaceplate supporting frame 5, the proximal end of which is supported by thebody 1 so as to be operated like a cantilever and which extends in the horizontal direction. Theupper surface plate 3 is driven by an upper-surface-plate drivingservo motor 6 via a transmission mechanism provided 1 inside the surfaceplate supporting frame 5. - In addition a
sun gear 7 and aninternal gear 8 are coaxially disposed at the center of thelower surface plate 2 and on the outer circumference of theplate 2, respectively. A plurality ofcarriers 9 are disposed on the lower surface plate to engage the sun andinternal gears sun gear 7. Aworkpiece 4 such as a semiconductor wafer or a magnetic disc substrate held by eachcarrier 9 is sandwiched on both sides between the upper and lower surface plates for polishing. - As is seen in FIG. 2, the upper surface
plate supporting frame 5 is supported by anelevating mechanism 10 so as to be arbitrarily raised or lowered on abase member 12 mounted at one end of thebody 1 via abearing 11 so as to be arbitrarily rotated. - The
elevating mechanism 10 includes aguide mechanism 14 for guiding the elevation and lowering of the surfaceplate supporting frame 5; a plurality ofair cylinders 15 that constantly urge upward the surfaceplate supporting frame 5 to receive part of the load on the uppersurface plate assembly 3A, including the surfaceplate supporting frame 5 and theupper surface plate 3; and anelevating servo motor 16 that elevates and lowers the surfaceplate supporting frame 5 for which part of the load is supported by theair cylinders 15 and that stops theframe 5 at a specified position. - The
guide mechanism 14 is composed of alinear guide 19 formed axially on the outer circumference of afirst shaft 18 standing on thebase member 12; and aslide member 21 formed on the inner surface of asecond shaft 20 fixed to the bottom surface of the surfaceplate supporting frame 5 so as to fit on thefirst shaft 18, the slide member fitting on thelinear guide 19. Theguide mechanism 14, however, is not limited to this configuration, and other configurations may be used as long as they can guide the surfaceplate supporting frame 5 linearly in the vertical direction. - Three
air cylinders 15 are provided so as to correspond to the respective vertices of an equilateral triangle on the internal bottom of thefirst shaft 18, and arod 15a of theair cylinder 15 is coupled to a frame member 20a integrated with thesecond shaft 20. The elevatingservo motor 16 is mounted in thebody 1 so as to be located at the center of the arrangement of the threeair cylinders 15. The elevatingservo motor 16 has anoutput shaft 16a coupled to the frame member 20a. - The three
air cylinders 15 are controlled to constantly support about half to two-thirds of the load (about 6 to 10 tons) on, for example, the uppersurface plate assembly 3A, with the remaining load supported by theservo motor 16. This configuration does not only enable the use ofsmaller air cylinders 15 andservo motors 16 than in the unitary use of an air cylinder or a servo motor to reduce the size of theelevating mechanism 10 but can also use thesmall servo motor 16 and its control mechanism to raise and lower the uppersurface plate assembly 3A and stop it at a specified position simply and accurately. - In addition, the surface
plate supporting frame 5 can be swiveled between a polishing position A and aworkpiece 4 unloading position B as shown in FIG. 3, via aswiveling mechanism 22 consisting of thebase member 12, aswiveling servo motor 23 attached to thebody 1, agear 24 attached to the output shaft of theservo motor 23, and agear section 12a partly formed on part of the outer circumference of thebase member 12. - The
upper surface plate 3 has suction holes at positions corresponding to theworkpieces 4 on the work surface so as to vacuum-chuck and lift the workpieces that have been polished. After theupper surface plate 3 is swiveled to the unloading position B while still vacuum-chucking theworkpieces 4, an unloading means 26 sequentially unloads theworkpieces 4. In addition, the polishing apparatus has a loading means 27 for loadingunprocessed workpieces 4. While processed workpieces are being unloaded after theupper surface plate 3 has been swiveled to the unloading position B, the loading means can supply an unprocessed workpiece to eachcarrier 9 on thelower surface plate 2. - The vacuum chuck means and the loading or unloading means 27 or 26 may be well-known ones, so their configurations are nor referred to herein.
- In the surface polishing apparatus of the above configuration, the
workpiece 4 supplied to eachcarrier 9 on thelower surface plate 2 after theupper surface plate 3 has been elevated is sandwiched on both sides between the upper andlower surface plates upper surface plate 3 lowers, so that both surfaces of the workpiece are polished by the rotatingsurface plates carrier 9 is driven by the sun andinternal gears sun gear 7. In addition, the action of lowering theupper surface plate 3 down to a processing position is carried out by the elevatingservo motor 16 in theelevating mechanism 10 via the surfaceplate supporting frame 5. During processing, processing pressure is added by another pressurizing cylinder (not shown) provided in the surfaceplate supporting frame 5. - Once the
workpiece 4 has been polished and the upper andlower surface plates upper surface plate 3 is guided and lifted by aguide mechanism 14 driven by the elevatingservo motor 16 up to a predetermined height while still vacuum-chucking the processedworkpieces 4. Theupper surface plate 3 is then swiveled to the unloading position B, where the processedworkpieces 4 are unloaded by the unloading means 26. Then, the loading means 27 supplies an unprocessed workpiece to eachcarrier 9 on thelower surface plate 2. - Once the processed workpieces have been unloaded and the unprocessed workpieces have been supplied, the
upper surface plate 3 is swiveled to a position immediately above thelower surface plate 2 and is then lowered by the elevatingservo motor 16. Then, the polishing of theworkpieces 4 is started again. - Since the
upper surface plate 3 is raised and lowered by theservo motor 16 while the load receivingair cylinder 15 in theelevating mechanism 10 is supporting part of the load on the uppersurface plate assembly 3A to reduce the load, thesmall servo motor 16 and its control mechanism can be used to simply raise and lower theupper surface plate 3 and to reliably and accurately stop it at a specified position even if the uppersurface plate assembly 3A is extremely heavy, such as several to 10 tons. - As described above, the elevating mechanism according to this invention can use the small elevating mechanism to simply and accurately effect the elevation and lowering of the upper surface plate and stop it at a specified position even if the total weight of the upper surface plate is large.
