Description

本発明は、ウエーハ等のワークの両面研磨装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a double-side polishing apparatus for a workpiece such as a wafer.

ワークの両面研磨装置は種々知られている。
特開平2−292167号公報(特許文献1)には、両面ラップ盤が開示されている。
この両面ラップ盤は、被加工物を上下の定盤で挟持し、その各定盤を回転させて被加工物の両面を同時にラッピングする両面ラップ盤において、上下各定盤は、一部分が相互に重なるように偏心状に保持され、その相互に重なる部分に、被加工物が保持され且つ回転駆動機構によって回転する薄板状キャリアが配置され、上下各定盤の重ならない部分に、それぞれの定盤の加工面を修正するそれぞれの修正リングが具備されてなる両面ラップ盤に構成されている。
Various types of double-side polishing apparatuses for workpieces are known.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-292167 (Patent Document 1) discloses a double-sided lapping machine.
This double-sided lapping machine is a double-sided lapping machine in which a workpiece is sandwiched between upper and lower surface plates, and each surface plate is rotated to wrap both sides of the workpiece at the same time. Thin plate carriers that are held eccentrically so as to overlap each other and in which the workpieces are held and rotated by a rotation drive mechanism are arranged, and each surface plate is placed on a portion where the upper and lower surface plates do not overlap each other. The double-sided lapping machine is provided with respective correction rings for correcting the machining surface.

また、上記両面ラップ盤は、上下の定盤およびキャリアが同一方向に、かつ同一回転数(同一角速度)で回転されるようになっている。これにより、キャリアに保持されるワークの表裏面における定盤との間の相対摩擦距離が等しくなり、加工精度に優れるという利点がある。   In the double-sided lapping machine, the upper and lower surface plates and the carrier are rotated in the same direction and at the same rotation speed (same angular velocity). Thereby, the relative friction distance between the surface plate on the front and back surfaces of the work held by the carrier becomes equal, and there is an advantage that the processing accuracy is excellent.

特開平2―292167号公報JP-A-2-292167

しかしながら、上記の両面ラップ盤には次のような課題がある。
すなわち、この両面ラップ盤では、上下の定盤を一部が重なるようにずらして配置し、この重なった部分に1つのキャリアしか配置できないため、装置が大型化するにもかかわらず少ない枚数のワークしか処理できず、研磨効率がよくないという課題がある。
However, the above double-sided lapping machine has the following problems.
That is, in this double-sided lapping machine, the upper and lower surface plates are arranged so as to partially overlap each other, and only one carrier can be arranged on this overlapping part. However, there is a problem that the polishing efficiency is not good.

また、下定盤は、基台に適宜なベアリング機構を介して堅固に支持できるが、上定盤は下定盤に対して一部で重なった状態に配置されているので、上定盤には傾倒モーメントが作用する。上記従来の両面ラップ盤では、この上定盤にかかる傾倒モーメントを、上定盤の下面側に2つの修正リングを当接させて受け止める構成を採用している。この修正リングで上定盤の傾倒モーメントを受け止めるのは機構的に極めて厄介であり、上定盤の傾倒を完全には防げず、研磨精度に悪影響を与えるという課題がある。   In addition, the lower surface plate can be firmly supported on the base via an appropriate bearing mechanism, but the upper surface plate is arranged so as to partially overlap the lower surface plate. Moment acts. The conventional double-sided lapping machine employs a configuration in which the tilting moment applied to the upper surface plate is received by bringing the two correction rings into contact with the lower surface side of the upper surface plate. It is very troublesome mechanically to receive the tilting moment of the upper surface plate with this correction ring, and there is a problem that the tilting of the upper surface plate cannot be completely prevented and the polishing accuracy is adversely affected.

さらには、研磨装置として、ポリシング装置の場合には、研磨面に研磨布が貼付されるが、研磨布を介して修正リングにより上定盤の傾倒モーメントを受け止める場合には、研磨布に過大な摩擦力が作用し、研磨布の摩耗が著しく、したがって、特許文献1の構成は両面ラップ盤に採用できるとしても、ポリシング装置には採用できないという課題もある。
そこで、本発明は上記課題を解消すべくなされ、その目的とするところは、研磨効率を向上でき、また上定盤の傾倒を防止して精度のよい研磨を行える両面研磨装置を提供するにある。
Further, in the case of a polishing apparatus as a polishing apparatus, a polishing cloth is affixed to the polishing surface. However, when the tilting moment of the upper surface plate is received by the correction ring via the polishing cloth, the polishing cloth is excessively large. The frictional force acts and the abrasion of the polishing cloth is remarkable. Therefore, even if the configuration of Patent Document 1 can be adopted for a double-sided lapping machine, there is a problem that it cannot be adopted for a polishing apparatus.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a double-side polishing apparatus that can improve polishing efficiency and prevent the tilting of the upper surface plate and perform accurate polishing. .

本発明に係る両面研磨装置は、上面が研磨面とされた下定盤と、該下定盤の上方に上下動自在に支持され、下面が研磨面とされた上定盤と、該下定盤と上定盤との間に配置され、ワークを保持可能な透孔を有するキャリアと、前記上下定盤を軸線を中心として回転駆動する駆動装置と、前記キャリアを回転駆動するキャリア駆動装置とを具備し、上下定盤を回転させ、かつキャリアを回転させることにより、キャリアに保持されて上下定盤間に挟まれたワークの両面を研磨する両面研磨装置において、前記下定盤は、隣接する2つの下定盤を含み、該下定盤の中央部に中央ギアが配置されると共に、該下定盤の外側に外側ギアが配置されて前記キャリア駆動装置が構成され、前記キャリアは、該外側ギアと前記中央ギアとの間に噛合されて各下定盤上で回転する2つのキャリアを含み、前記上定盤は、前記隣接する2つの下定盤の上方に位置して該2つの下定盤に跨って配置され、下定盤上の前記2つのキャリアに保持されたワークを挟む1つの上定盤を含むことを特徴とする。   The double-side polishing apparatus according to the present invention includes a lower surface plate having an upper surface as a polishing surface, an upper surface plate supported above and below the lower surface plate, and having a lower surface as a polishing surface, and the lower surface plate and the upper surface plate. A carrier that is disposed between the surface plate and has a through hole capable of holding a workpiece; a driving device that rotationally drives the upper and lower surface plates around an axis; and a carrier driving device that rotationally drives the carrier. In the double-side polishing apparatus that polishes both surfaces of the work held between the upper and lower surface plates by rotating the upper and lower surface plates and rotating the carrier, the lower surface plate has two adjacent lower surface plates. And a center gear is disposed at the center of the lower surface plate, and an outer gear is disposed outside the lower surface plate to constitute the carrier driving device. The carrier includes the outer gear and the central gear. Meshed between each Including two carriers that rotate on a surface plate, the upper surface plate being positioned above the two adjacent lower surface plates and straddling the two lower surface plates, and the two carriers on the lower surface plate It includes one upper surface plate that sandwiches the workpiece held on the surface.

前記下定盤、上定盤およびキャリアが同方向に同一角速度で回転されることを特徴とする。
前記下定盤を、3つ以上同一円周上に位置して配置することができる。
あるいは、前記下定盤を、3つの下定盤が正三角形の頂点に位置するよう配置し、上定盤を、該3つの下定盤に共通に跨って配置するようにすることができる。
前記中央ギアは、前記下定盤の中心に配置された中心ギアであることを特徴とすることができる。
また、前記外側ギアは、隣接する下定盤に共用される共通ギアとすることができる。
The lower surface plate, the upper surface plate, and the carrier are rotated in the same direction at the same angular velocity.
Three or more lower surface plates can be arranged on the same circumference.
Alternatively, the lower surface plate can be arranged such that the three lower surface plates are positioned at the apexes of an equilateral triangle, and the upper surface plate can be disposed across the three lower surface plates in common.
The central gear may be a central gear arranged at the center of the lower surface plate.
The outer gear may be a common gear shared by adjacent lower surface plates.

また、前記下定盤および上定盤の研磨面に研磨布が貼付され、該研磨布の表面を整えるドレッサーが、前記下定盤と上定盤とが重ならない位置に配置されていることを特徴とする。
また、前記下定盤上にスラリーを供給するスラリー供給源を有することを特徴とする。
Further, a polishing cloth is affixed to the polishing surfaces of the lower surface plate and the upper surface plate, and a dresser for adjusting the surface of the polishing cloth is disposed at a position where the lower surface plate and the upper surface plate do not overlap. To do.
Moreover, it has a slurry supply source which supplies a slurry on the said lower surface plate, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

本実施の形態では、上記のように、上定盤を2つもしくは3つの下定盤で受け止めているので、上定盤の傾きを防止でき、精度のよい研磨が行える。また、1つの上定盤と、2つもしくは3つの下定盤の重なった位置にそれぞれキャリアを配置でき、生産性を向上させることができる。また、上定盤を修正リングで受け止める構成としていないので、研磨パッドに対する負荷を軽減でき、したがって、ラップ盤のみならず、ポリシング装置にも適用できる。
さらには下定盤、上定盤およびキャリアを同一方向に同一角速度(回転数)で回転させるようにすると、キャリアに保持されているワークWの表裏面における上下定盤との間の相対摩擦距離が等しくなり、精度のよい研磨が行える。
In the present embodiment, as described above, since the upper surface plate is received by two or three lower surface plates, the upper surface plate can be prevented from being tilted, and accurate polishing can be performed. In addition, carriers can be arranged at positions where one upper surface plate and two or three lower surface plates overlap each other, and productivity can be improved. In addition, since the upper surface plate is not configured to be received by the correction ring, the load on the polishing pad can be reduced, and therefore, it can be applied not only to a lapping machine but also to a polishing apparatus.
Furthermore, when the lower surface plate, the upper surface plate, and the carrier are rotated in the same direction at the same angular velocity (number of rotations), the relative friction distance between the upper and lower surface plates on the front and back surfaces of the workpiece W held by the carrier is increased. It becomes equal and can perform polishing with high accuracy.
