Description

本発明は、板状ワークの一方の面の全面に樹脂からなる保護部材を形成する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for forming a protective member made of resin on the entire surface of one surface of a plate-like workpiece.

半導体ウエーハなどの製造工程においては、円柱状のインゴットをワイヤーソーによってスライスして円盤状のウエーハを形成するときに、ウエーハに反りやうねりが形成されることがある。この反りやうねりを除去するために、反りやうねりが形成されたウエーハの片面にポリエチレン等の液状樹脂を塗布し、これを硬化させた後にウエーハの反対側の面と該片面とを順次研削してウエーハを平坦に形成する技術がある。   In a manufacturing process of a semiconductor wafer or the like, when a cylindrical ingot is sliced with a wire saw to form a disk-shaped wafer, warpage or undulation may be formed on the wafer. In order to remove the warpage and waviness, a liquid resin such as polyethylene is applied to one side of the wafer on which the warp or waviness is formed, and after curing this, the opposite surface of the wafer and the one side are ground sequentially. There is a technology for forming the wafer flat.

かかる技術において、ウエーハの片面に液状樹脂を貼着するためには、例えば、ステージ上に載置されたシートの上に液状樹脂を滴下し、ステージの上方で吸引保持部に保持されたウエーハを、その片面側からシートに対して上方から押し付けてウエーハの中心から外周側に向けて液状樹脂を拡張させ該片面の全域に液状樹脂を行きわたらせた後、この液状樹脂を加熱したり、紫外光を照射したりすることにより液状樹脂を硬化させる方法が提案されている(例えば、下記の特許文献1を参照)。   In this technique, in order to adhere the liquid resin to one side of the wafer, for example, the liquid resin is dropped on a sheet placed on the stage, and the wafer held by the suction holding unit above the stage is removed. The liquid resin is expanded from the center of the wafer toward the outer peripheral side by pressing from the upper side against the sheet from one side of the wafer, and the liquid resin is spread over the entire area of the one side, and then the liquid resin is heated or irradiated with ultraviolet light. And a method of curing a liquid resin by irradiating (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

特開2012−143723号公報JP 2012-143723 A

上記したようなシートの上において液溜まりとなった液状樹脂には、水のような液体とは異なり表面張力が弱く働くため、液溜まりの中心部分にわずかな凹みが形成される。この凹みの大きさは、液状樹脂を塗布しようとするウエーハのサイズに比例する。すなわち、大きいウエーハ(例えば、直径450mm)と小さいウエーハ(例えば、直径200mm)とでは、大きいウエーハに液状樹脂を塗布する方が液状樹脂の使用量が多くなることから、液溜まりの中心にできる凹みも大きくなる。   Unlike the liquid such as water, the liquid resin that has become a liquid reservoir on the sheet as described above has a weak surface tension, so that a slight recess is formed in the central portion of the liquid reservoir. The size of the recess is proportional to the size of the wafer to which the liquid resin is to be applied. That is, for large wafers (for example, 450 mm in diameter) and small wafers (for example, 200 mm in diameter), the amount of liquid resin used increases when a liquid resin is applied to a large wafer. Also grows.

このように、特に、大きいウエーハに液状樹脂を塗布する場合、ウエーハの一方の面で液状樹脂の上から押し付けるときに、液溜まりの凹み部分に空気が入り込んで、液状樹脂を硬化させても液状樹脂内に気泡ができてしまう。そして、このような液状樹脂で一方の面が保護されたウエーハの他方の面を研削しても、研削後のウエーハに凸状部分ができてしまい、ウエーハを高精度に研削加工することが困難となっている。   In this way, particularly when a liquid resin is applied to a large wafer, when the liquid resin is pressed on one side of the wafer from above the liquid, even if the liquid enters the concave portion of the liquid reservoir and the liquid resin is cured, the liquid resin is liquid. Bubbles are formed in the resin. And even if the other surface of the wafer whose one surface is protected with such a liquid resin, a convex portion is formed on the ground wafer, and it is difficult to grind the wafer with high accuracy. It has become.

本発明は、上記の事情にかんがみてなされたもので、ウエーハの一方の全面を保護する液状樹脂に気泡が混入しないようにすることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to prevent bubbles from being mixed into a liquid resin that protects one entire surface of a wafer.

本発明は、ウエーハの一方の面の全面に液状樹脂を押し拡げ硬化させて保護部材を形成する保護部材の形成方法であって、ステージの上面の中心に所定量の液状樹脂を供給する樹脂供給工程と、該ステージと対面し該保持部の保持面に保持されるウエーハの下面の中心に、該ウエーハに付着する程度の液状樹脂を付着させる樹脂付着工程と、該ステージの中心と該保持部の該保持面が保持するウエーハの中心とを一致させ、該ステージと該保持部とを接近させて該液状樹脂を押圧することにより、ウエーハの該下面の全面に該液状樹脂を押し拡げる拡張工程と、押し拡げられた該液状樹脂を硬化させる硬化工程と、を備える。   The present invention relates to a method for forming a protective member that forms a protective member by spreading and curing a liquid resin over the entire surface of one surface of a wafer, and supplying a predetermined amount of liquid resin to the center of the upper surface of a stage And a resin adhesion step for adhering a liquid resin that adheres to the wafer to the center of the lower surface of the wafer that faces the stage and is held by the holding surface of the holding portion, and the center of the stage and the holding portion An expansion step of spreading the liquid resin over the entire lower surface of the wafer by causing the holding surface of the wafer to coincide with the center of the wafer and pressing the liquid resin by bringing the stage and the holding portion closer to each other And a curing step for curing the spread liquid resin.

また、本発明は、ウエーハの一方の面の全面に液状樹脂を押し拡げ硬化させて保護部材を形成する保護部材の形成方法であって、下面が保持部の保持面に保持されたウエーハの上面の中心に所定量の液状樹脂を供給する樹脂供給工程と、該ウエーハと対面するステージの下面の中心に、該ステージに付着する程度の液状樹脂を付着させる樹脂付着工程と、該保持部の保持面に保持されたウエーハの中心と該ステージの中心とを一致させ、該ウエーハと該ステージとを接近させて該液状樹脂を押圧することにより、ウエーハの該上面の全面に該液状樹脂を押し拡げる拡張工程と、押し拡げられた該液状樹脂を硬化させる硬化工程と、を備える。   The present invention also relates to a method for forming a protective member that forms a protective member by spreading and curing a liquid resin over the entire surface of one surface of the wafer, the lower surface of the upper surface of the wafer held by the holding surface of the holding portion. A resin supply step of supplying a predetermined amount of liquid resin to the center of the wafer, a resin adhesion step of attaching a liquid resin of the degree to adhere to the stage to the center of the lower surface of the stage facing the wafer, and holding the holding unit By aligning the center of the wafer held on the surface with the center of the stage and bringing the wafer and the stage close together and pressing the liquid resin, the liquid resin is spread over the entire upper surface of the wafer. An expansion step, and a curing step for curing the expanded liquid resin.

本発明の保護部材の形成方法では、樹脂供給工程において、ステージの上面の中心または保持部の保持面に保持されたウエーハの上面の中心に向けて所定量の液状樹脂を供給し、樹脂付着工程において、ステージと対面する保持部の保持面に保持するウエーハの下面の中心またはウエーハと対面するステージの下面の中心に付着する程度の液状樹脂を付着させてから、拡張工程において、ステージとウエーハとで液状樹脂を挟み込んで押圧するため、樹脂供給工程で供給された液状樹脂に凹部が形成されたとしても、拡張工程において拡張された液状樹脂には凹部が形成されない。したがって、その後に硬化工程を実施すると、気泡がない保護部材をウエーハの一方の面に形成することができ、後のウエーハの研削によって、ウエーハを高精度に平坦に仕上げることができる。   In the method for forming a protective member of the present invention, in the resin supply step, a predetermined amount of liquid resin is supplied toward the center of the upper surface of the stage or the center of the upper surface of the wafer held by the holding surface of the holding portion, and the resin adhesion step In the expansion step, the liquid resin is attached to the center of the lower surface of the wafer held on the holding surface of the holding unit facing the stage or the center of the lower surface of the stage facing the wafer. Since the liquid resin is sandwiched and pressed, the liquid resin expanded in the expansion process does not have a recess even if the liquid resin supplied in the resin supply process forms a recess. Accordingly, when a curing step is subsequently performed, a protective member free of bubbles can be formed on one surface of the wafer, and the wafer can be finished flat with high accuracy by subsequent grinding of the wafer.

以下では、添付の図面を参照しながら、被加工物であるウエーハの一方の面の全面を保護する保護部材を形成する方法について説明する。   Hereinafter, a method for forming a protective member for protecting the entire surface of one surface of a wafer as a workpiece will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 保護部材の形成方法の第1例
(1) 樹脂供給工程
まず、図1(a)に示すように、液状樹脂が滴下されるシート2をステージ1の上面1aに載置し、図示しない吸引源の吸引力を上面1aに作用させてシート2を吸引保持する。シート2は、特に材質が限定されるものではなく、例えばPET(ポリエチレンテレタレート)によって構成されている。
1 First Example of Method for Forming Protective Member (1) Resin Supply Step First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a sheet 2 onto which liquid resin is dropped is placed on the upper surface 1a of the stage 1 and suction (not shown) The sheet 2 is sucked and held by applying the suction force of the source to the upper surface 1a. The material of the sheet 2 is not particularly limited, and is made of, for example, PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

続いて、ステージ1の上方側にある樹脂供給ノズル3から、所定量の液状樹脂4をステージ1の上面1aに吸引保持されたシート2の上面の中心に滴下する。液状樹脂4は、ウエーハの一方の面を保護する保護部材となるもので、例えば紫外線硬化樹脂を使用する。図1(b)に示すように、適量の液状樹脂4がシート2の上面に堆積して液溜まりの状態の液状樹脂40になった時点で、樹脂供給ノズル3からシート2に液状樹脂4を滴下するのを停止する。シート2の上に溜まった液状樹脂40には、その中心部分に凹部5が形成されている。なお、滴下する液状樹脂4の量は、後に液状樹脂が硬化して保護部材となる部分の厚さとウエーハの面積とにより求められる。   Subsequently, a predetermined amount of liquid resin 4 is dropped from the resin supply nozzle 3 on the upper side of the stage 1 to the center of the upper surface of the sheet 2 sucked and held on the upper surface 1 a of the stage 1. The liquid resin 4 serves as a protective member for protecting one surface of the wafer, and for example, an ultraviolet curable resin is used. As shown in FIG. 1B, when an appropriate amount of the liquid resin 4 is deposited on the upper surface of the sheet 2 to become a liquid resin 40 in a liquid pool state, the liquid resin 4 is applied to the sheet 2 from the resin supply nozzle 3. Stop dripping. The liquid resin 40 accumulated on the sheet 2 has a recess 5 at the center. Note that the amount of the liquid resin 4 to be dropped is determined by the thickness of the portion where the liquid resin is cured later to become a protective member and the area of the wafer.

(2) 樹脂付着工程
図2に示すように、ステージ1の上面1aと対面する位置に、保持部10に保持されたウエーハWを位置させる。ウエーハWは、円柱状のインゴットをワイヤーソーによってスライスされてデバイスが形成される前のものである。
(2) Resin Adhesion Step As shown in FIG. 2, the wafer W held by the holding unit 10 is positioned at a position facing the upper surface 1 a of the stage 1. The wafer W is before a device is formed by slicing a cylindrical ingot with a wire saw.

保持部10は、ウエーハWを吸引保持する保持面12を有するポーラス部材11を有しており、保持面12には、吸引源が接続されている。保持部10には、保持部10をステージ1に接近または離反させる方向に昇降させる昇降手段13が接続されている。一方、樹脂付着手段14は、保持部10の近傍に配設されており、液状樹脂を載せるバー状のプレート15と、鉛直方向の軸を中心としてプレート15を回転させる回転部16と、プレート15を昇降させる昇降部17とにより少なくとも構成されている。回転部16がプレート15を回転させることにより、プレート15を、ノズル等から液状樹脂の滴下が行われる位置と、液状樹脂を付着させる所望の位置との間を移動させることができる。
なお、保持部10は、保持面12に吸引源に連通する吸引溝を形成してウエーハWを吸引保持させても良い。
The holding unit 10 includes a porous member 11 having a holding surface 12 for sucking and holding the wafer W, and a suction source is connected to the holding surface 12. The holding unit 10 is connected to an elevating means 13 that raises and lowers the holding unit 10 in a direction in which the holding unit 10 approaches or separates from the stage 1. On the other hand, the resin adhering means 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the holding unit 10, and has a bar-shaped plate 15 on which the liquid resin is placed, a rotating unit 16 that rotates the plate 15 about a vertical axis, and a plate 15. And an elevating part 17 for elevating and lowering. When the rotating unit 16 rotates the plate 15, the plate 15 can be moved between a position where the liquid resin is dropped from a nozzle or the like and a desired position where the liquid resin is attached.
The holding unit 10 may suck and hold the wafer W by forming a suction groove communicating with the suction source on the holding surface 12.

保持部10は、吸引源によって吸引力を保持面12に作用させてウエーハWの上面Waを保持面12で吸引保持し、ウエーハWの下面Wbをステージ1に吸引保持されたシート2と対面させる。次いで、プレート15の一端の上面に適量の液状樹脂6を付着させる。そして、回転部16がプレート15を回転させ、プレート15を、保持部10に吸引保持されたウエーハWの中心位置の直下に移動させる。液状樹脂6の量は、少なくともウエーハWの下面Wbに付着する程度の少ない量であればよい。なお、液状樹脂6は、上記した液状樹脂4と同様のものを使用する。
また、樹脂付着手段14は、プレート15を回転部16で回転させウエーハの中心に液状樹脂6を付着させる構成としたが、ウエーハの中心に液状樹脂6を付着させる構成であれば、プレート15を直動移動させても良いし、ウエーハの外周を保持する外周保持部が、ウエーハを保持して上面下面を反転させる反転軸を備え、ウエーハの上面に液状樹脂6を付着(滴下)させ、反転軸でウエーハを反転させ、反転したウエーハを保持部10に保持させるようにしても良い。
The holding unit 10 applies a suction force to the holding surface 12 by a suction source to suck and hold the upper surface Wa of the wafer W with the holding surface 12, and causes the lower surface Wb of the wafer W to face the sheet 2 sucked and held on the stage 1. . Next, an appropriate amount of the liquid resin 6 is attached to the upper surface of one end of the plate 15. Then, the rotating unit 16 rotates the plate 15 and moves the plate 15 directly below the center position of the wafer W sucked and held by the holding unit 10. The amount of the liquid resin 6 may be an amount that is at least small enough to adhere to the lower surface Wb of the wafer W. The liquid resin 6 is the same as the liquid resin 4 described above.
Further, the resin adhering means 14 is configured to rotate the plate 15 by the rotating unit 16 and adhere the liquid resin 6 to the center of the wafer. However, if the liquid resin 6 is adhered to the center of the wafer, the plate 15 The outer periphery holding part that holds the outer periphery of the wafer may have a reversing shaft that holds the wafer and reverses the upper and lower surfaces, and attaches (drops) the liquid resin 6 to the upper surface of the wafer for inversion. The wafer may be inverted with the shaft, and the inverted wafer may be held by the holding unit 10.

次に、昇降部17がプレート15を上昇させて、図3に示すように、ウエーハWの中心の下面Wbに液状樹脂6を付着させる。この液状樹脂6は、ウエーハWの下面Wbから落下せずに、下面Wbにおいて付着された状態が維持される。なお、液状樹脂6をウエーハWの中心の下面Wbに付着させる際は、プレート15が上昇するのではなく、保持部10が下降するようにしてもよい。   Next, the elevating part 17 raises the plate 15 to attach the liquid resin 6 to the lower surface Wb at the center of the wafer W, as shown in FIG. The liquid resin 6 is not dropped from the lower surface Wb of the wafer W, but is maintained on the lower surface Wb. When the liquid resin 6 is attached to the lower surface Wb at the center of the wafer W, the holding unit 10 may be lowered instead of the plate 15 being raised.

(3) 拡張工程
その後、ステージ1の中心の平面方向の位置と保持部10の保持面12が保持するウエーハWの中心の平面方向の位置とを一致させ、昇降手段13によって保持部10をステージ1に接近させる方向に下降させる。
(3) Expansion Step Thereafter, the position in the plane direction of the center of the stage 1 is matched with the position in the plane direction of the center of the wafer W held by the holding surface 12 of the holding section 10, and the holding section 10 is moved to the stage by the lifting means 13. Lower in a direction to approach 1.

保持部10が下降していくと、ウエーハWの下面Wbに付着した液状樹脂6が、ウエーハWの下面Wbよりも先に液状樹脂40の凹部5に接触する。さらに、保持部10が下降していくと、凹部5に接触した液状樹脂6が液状樹脂40内に押し込まれていき、凹部5が存在しない状態になる。そしてさらに、図5に示すように、保持部10を鉛直方向下方に下降させて押圧することで、液状樹脂40をウエーハWの径方向に拡張させる。拡張された状態の液状樹脂40には凹部がなくなることから、液状樹脂40に空気が入り込むことはない。このようにしてウエーハWの下面Wbの全面に液状樹脂40を押し拡げる。   As the holding portion 10 is lowered, the liquid resin 6 attached to the lower surface Wb of the wafer W comes into contact with the concave portion 5 of the liquid resin 40 before the lower surface Wb of the wafer W. Further, when the holding unit 10 is lowered, the liquid resin 6 that has come into contact with the recess 5 is pushed into the liquid resin 40 and the recess 5 does not exist. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the liquid resin 40 is expanded in the radial direction of the wafer W by lowering and pressing the holding portion 10 downward in the vertical direction. Since the expanded liquid resin 40 has no recess, air does not enter the liquid resin 40. In this way, the liquid resin 40 is spread over the entire lower surface Wb of the wafer W.

なお、本工程では、保持部10を下降させる代わりに、ステージ1を上昇させてもよい。すなわち、ステージ1と保持部10とを接近させて液状樹脂を押圧できればよい。   In this step, the stage 1 may be raised instead of lowering the holding unit 10. That is, it is only necessary that the liquid resin can be pressed by bringing the stage 1 and the holding unit 10 close to each other.

(4)硬化工程
拡張工程を実施した後、図6に示すように、例えばステージ1の内部に配設された複数のUVランプ18によって図5に示した液状樹脂40に向けて紫外光を照射して硬化させる。紫外光の刺激により液状樹脂40が硬化することにより、ウエーハWの下面Wbの全面を保護する保護部材41が形成される。次に、保持部10は、保持面12に保持されたウエーハWの上面Waに対する吸引保持を解除し、昇降手段13によって保持部10を上昇させ、ウエーハWの上面Waから保持面12を離反させる。その後は、例えば研削砥石などによってウエーハWの上面Wa側から研削を行い、その後、保護部材41を剥離してから研削した上面側を保持し、ウエーハWの下面Wbを研削する。
(4) Curing process After performing the expansion process, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, ultraviolet light is irradiated toward the liquid resin 40 shown in FIG. 5 by a plurality of UV lamps 18 disposed inside the stage 1. And let it harden. When the liquid resin 40 is cured by the stimulation of ultraviolet light, a protective member 41 that protects the entire lower surface Wb of the wafer W is formed. Next, the holding unit 10 releases the suction holding with respect to the upper surface Wa of the wafer W held on the holding surface 12, lifts the holding unit 10 by the lifting means 13, and separates the holding surface 12 from the upper surface Wa of the wafer W. . After that, for example, grinding is performed from the upper surface Wa side of the wafer W with a grinding wheel or the like, and then the upper surface side after the protective member 41 is peeled is held and the lower surface Wb of the wafer W is ground.

このように、本発明の保護部材の形成方法では、樹脂供給工程の後に樹脂付着工程を実施して保持部10の保持面12に吸引保持されるウエーハWの下面Wbの中心に付着する程度の液状樹脂6を下面Wbに付着させてから、拡張工程を実施するように構成したため、ウエーハの下面Wbに付着された液状樹脂6から先に液状樹脂40の凹部5に接触させ、続いて液状樹脂6が付着されていない部分のウエーハの下面Wbで液状樹脂40を押し付けることにより、凹部5がなくなるため、液状樹脂40内に気泡が混入しないようにウエーハWの下面Wbにおいて液状樹脂40を拡張することができる。
その後は、硬化工程を実施して液状樹脂40を硬化させるため、ウエーハWの下面Wbの全面を保護する保護部材41を形成することができ、その後の研削によって、ウエーハWの両面を平坦に形成することができる。
As described above, in the method for forming the protective member of the present invention, the resin adhesion process is performed after the resin supply process, and is adhered to the center of the lower surface Wb of the wafer W sucked and held by the holding surface 12 of the holding unit 10. Since the expansion process is performed after the liquid resin 6 is attached to the lower surface Wb, the liquid resin 6 attached to the lower surface Wb of the wafer is first brought into contact with the concave portion 5 of the liquid resin 40, and then the liquid resin is used. By pressing the liquid resin 40 on the lower surface Wb of the wafer where the 6 is not attached, the recess 5 is eliminated, so that the liquid resin 40 is expanded on the lower surface Wb of the wafer W so that bubbles do not enter the liquid resin 40. be able to.
Thereafter, since the liquid resin 40 is cured by performing a curing step, the protective member 41 that protects the entire lower surface Wb of the wafer W can be formed, and both surfaces of the wafer W are formed flat by subsequent grinding. can do.

2 保護部材の形成方法の第2例
本発明に係る保護部材の形成方法は、上記の構成に限定されるものではなく、シートを保持するステージとウエーハWを保持する保持部とを上下逆さまに配置して行ってもよい。すなわち、図7に示すように、ポーラス部材21を有する保持部20を、シート2aを保持するステージ23の下側に配置させて例えばステージ23側を昇降可能な構成にしてもよい。
2 Second Example of Method for Forming Protective Member The method for forming a protective member according to the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and the stage for holding the sheet and the holding portion for holding the wafer W are turned upside down. It may be arranged. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the holding unit 20 having the porous member 21 may be arranged below the stage 23 holding the sheet 2a so that the stage 23 side can be raised and lowered, for example.

(1)樹脂供給工程
まず、保持部20の保持面22にウエーハWの下面Wb側を吸引保持し、吸引保持されたウエーハWの上面Waの中心に所定量の液状樹脂を滴下して堆積させ、液溜まりの状態の液状樹脂40aとする。ここにいう所定量は、上記第1例と同様に、後に液状樹脂が硬化して保護部材となる部分の厚さとウエーハWの面積とにより求められる。
なお、保持部20は、保持面22に吸引源に連通する吸引溝を形成してウエーハWを吸引保持させても良い。
(1) Resin Supply Step First, the lower surface Wb side of the wafer W is sucked and held on the holding surface 22 of the holding unit 20, and a predetermined amount of liquid resin is dropped and deposited on the center of the upper surface Wa of the sucked and held wafer W. The liquid resin 40a is in a liquid pool state. The predetermined amount here is obtained by the thickness of the portion where the liquid resin later cures and becomes a protective member and the area of the wafer W, as in the first example.
The holding unit 20 may suck and hold the wafer W by forming a suction groove communicating with the suction source on the holding surface 22.

(2)樹脂付着工程
ウエーハWに対面するステージ23は、図示しない吸引源の吸引力を保持面23aに作用させてシート2aを保持面23aで吸引保持し、シート2aの下面を保持部20に吸引保持されたウエーハWと対面させる。
(2) Resin adhesion step The stage 23 facing the wafer W causes the suction force of a suction source (not shown) to act on the holding surface 23a to suck and hold the sheet 2a with the holding surface 23a, and the lower surface of the sheet 2a to the holding unit 20 It faces the wafer W held by suction.

次いで、樹脂付着手段14aのプレート15の一端の上面に適量の液状樹脂6aを付着させた後、回転部16がプレート15を回転させ、プレート15をステージ23に吸引保持されたシート2aの中心位置の直下に移動させる。続いて昇降部17がプレート15を上昇させ、シート2aの中心の下面に液状樹脂6aを付着させる。この液状樹脂6aは、図8に示すように、シート2aの下面から落下せずに、該下面において付着された状態が維持される。液状樹脂6aの量は、少なくともウエーハWの下面Wbに付着する程度の少ない量であればよい。なお、液状樹脂6aをシート2aの中心の下面に付着させる際は、プレート15が上昇するのではなく、ステージ23が下降するようにしてもよい。
また、樹脂付着手段14aでは、回転部16がプレート15を回転させ液状樹脂6aをシートの中心に位置づけているが、シート2aの中心に液状樹脂6aを付着させる機構であれば、回転部16に限らず、シート2aの外側からシート2aの中心に向かって直動する直動部を備える構成であっても良い。
Next, after an appropriate amount of liquid resin 6a is attached to the upper surface of one end of the plate 15 of the resin attaching means 14a, the rotating unit 16 rotates the plate 15 and the center position of the sheet 2a in which the plate 15 is sucked and held on the stage 23 Move it directly below. Then, the raising / lowering part 17 raises the plate 15, and makes liquid resin 6a adhere to the lower surface of the center of the sheet | seat 2a. As shown in FIG. 8, the liquid resin 6a is not dropped from the lower surface of the sheet 2a, but is maintained in a state of being attached to the lower surface. The amount of the liquid resin 6a may be an amount that is at least small enough to adhere to the lower surface Wb of the wafer W. When the liquid resin 6a is attached to the lower surface at the center of the sheet 2a, the stage 23 may be lowered instead of the plate 15 being raised.
Further, in the resin adhering means 14a, the rotating unit 16 rotates the plate 15 to position the liquid resin 6a at the center of the sheet. However, if the mechanism adheres the liquid resin 6a to the center of the sheet 2a, the rotating unit 16 Not limited to this, a configuration may be provided that includes a linear motion portion that linearly moves from the outside of the seat 2a toward the center of the seat 2a.

(3)拡張工程
その後、ステージ23の中心の水平方向の位置と保持部20の保持面22が保持するウエーハWの中心の水平方向の位置とを一致させ、ステージ23を下降させて、ステージ23が保持するシート2aをウエーハWの上に堆積された液状樹脂40aに押し付ける。このとき、シート2aの下面に付着した液状樹脂6aがシート2aの下面よりも先に液状樹脂40aの凹部5aに接触する。さらに、ステージ23が下降していくと、凹部5aに接触した液状樹脂6aが液状樹脂40a内に押し込まれていき、凹部5aが存在しない状態となる。このようにして、ウエーハWの上面Waにおいて径方向に液状樹脂40aを拡張させる。この拡張された液状樹脂40aには、空気が入り込むことはない。
(3) Expansion Step Thereafter, the horizontal position of the center of the stage 23 and the horizontal position of the center of the wafer W held by the holding surface 22 of the holding unit 20 are matched, the stage 23 is lowered, and the stage 23 Is pressed against the liquid resin 40a deposited on the wafer W. At this time, the liquid resin 6a attached to the lower surface of the sheet 2a comes into contact with the concave portion 5a of the liquid resin 40a before the lower surface of the sheet 2a. When the stage 23 is further lowered, the liquid resin 6a that has come into contact with the recess 5a is pushed into the liquid resin 40a, and the recess 5a does not exist. In this way, the liquid resin 40a is expanded in the radial direction on the upper surface Wa of the wafer W. Air does not enter the expanded liquid resin 40a.

なお、本工程では、ステージ23を下降させる代わりに、保持部20を上昇させてもよい。すなわち、ステージ23と保持部20とを接近させて液状樹脂を押圧できればよい。   In this step, the holding unit 20 may be raised instead of lowering the stage 23. That is, it is only necessary that the liquid resin can be pressed by bringing the stage 23 and the holding unit 20 close to each other.

(4)硬化工程
拡張工程を実施した後、図9に示すように、例えばステージ23の内部に配設された複数のUVランプ18aによって、図8に示した液状樹脂40aに向けて紫外光を照射して硬化させる。紫外光の刺激により液状樹脂40aが硬化することにより、ウエーハWの上面Waの全面を保護する保護部材41aが形成される。このように、液状樹脂40aに気泡が混入しないように、ウエーハWの上面Waの全面に貼着することができる。したがって、研削後のウエーハWの両面を平坦にすることができる。
(4) Curing step After performing the expansion step, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, UV light is directed toward the liquid resin 40a shown in FIG. 8 by a plurality of UV lamps 18a disposed inside the stage 23. Irradiate to cure. As the liquid resin 40a is cured by the stimulation of ultraviolet light, a protective member 41a that protects the entire upper surface Wa of the wafer W is formed. In this manner, the liquid resin 40a can be adhered to the entire upper surface Wa of the wafer W so that bubbles do not enter the liquid resin 40a. Therefore, both surfaces of the wafer W after grinding can be flattened.

なお、樹脂付着手段14,14aは、上記の構成に限定されない。例えばプレート15の内部に配管を配設してプレートの先端側から滴量の液状樹脂6、6aを噴出させる構成にしてもよい。   In addition, the resin adhesion means 14 and 14a are not limited to said structure. For example, pipes may be provided inside the plate 15 so that drops of the liquid resins 6 and 6a are ejected from the front end side of the plate.
