Description

本発明は、保持テーブルに保持されたウェーハを研削加工する加工装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a processing apparatus for grinding a wafer held on a holding table.

ウェーハを研削する研削装置は、ウェーハを保持する保持テーブルと、保持テーブルを回転させるモータと、モータを取り付けるためのモータブラケットと、保持テーブルに保持されたウェーハを研削する研削砥石を環状に配設した研削ホイールとを少なくとも備えており、モータによって保持テーブルを回転させながら、保持テーブルが保持したウェーハを研削砥石で研削している(例えば、下記の特許文献1を参照)。   A grinding apparatus for grinding a wafer is provided with a holding table for holding a wafer, a motor for rotating the holding table, a motor bracket for mounting the motor, and a grinding wheel for grinding the wafer held on the holding table in an annular shape. The wafer held by the holding table is ground with a grinding wheel while the holding table is rotated by a motor (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

保持テーブルを回転させるモータは、回転動作するときに発熱するため、モータの熱が保持テーブルに伝達され保持テーブルの傾きを変化させたり、保持面の形状を変化させたりして、ウェーハの面内が均一な厚みに研削できないという問題がある。そのため、モータブラケットの内部に水路を設けて水を通水させ、モータの熱を遮断する冷却機構を備えるものがある。   Since the motor that rotates the holding table generates heat when it rotates, the heat of the motor is transmitted to the holding table, changing the tilt of the holding table or changing the shape of the holding surface. However, there is a problem that it cannot be ground to a uniform thickness. For this reason, there are some which are provided with a cooling mechanism for providing water passages inside the motor bracket to allow water to flow and shut off the heat of the motor.

特開2010−89234号公報JP 2010-89234 A

しかし、水路に通水させる水の水質によって水路が塞がってしまうことがあり、この場合は、モータブラケットを交換する必要がある。例えば、保持テーブルをベルト伝達機構によって回転させている場合には、モータブラケットを交換するときにベルトが一度緩められベルトテンションを調整する必要があるため、作業時間がかかる。また、上記特許文献1に示した研削装置では、水路を有しないモータブラケットでモータを取り付けているため、後に冷却機構が必要になることがある。この場合においても、モータブラケットを交換するときにベルトテンションの調整が必要となり、作業時間がかかるという問題がある。   However, the water channel may be blocked by the quality of the water passing through the water channel, and in this case, the motor bracket needs to be replaced. For example, when the holding table is rotated by the belt transmission mechanism, it takes time to replace the motor bracket, because the belt is once loosened and the belt tension needs to be adjusted. In the grinding device shown in the above-mentioned patent document 1, since the motor is attached with a motor bracket having no water channel, a cooling mechanism may be necessary later. Even in this case, it is necessary to adjust the belt tension when exchanging the motor bracket, and there is a problem that it takes work time.

本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、モータの回転力を保持テーブルに伝達する伝達機構の調整をすることなく冷却機構の交換及び追加を可能にするとともに、作業時間を短縮できる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 enables the replacement and addition of the cooling mechanism without adjusting the transmission mechanism that transmits the rotational force of the motor to the holding table, and can shorten the work time. The purpose is to do so.

本発明は、ウェーハを保持する保持手段と、該ウェーハを加工する加工手段と、を備えた加工装置であって、該保持手段は、ウェーハを保持する保持テーブルと、該保持テーブルの中心を軸に回転させる回転軸と、該回転軸を回転自在に支持し装置基台に支持される保持ベースと、該保持ベースまたは装置基台に板状のモータブラケットを介して配設され該回転軸の回転動力源のモータと、該モータの回転力を該回転軸に伝達する伝達手段と、該モータブラケットを冷却する冷却ジャケットとを備え、 該冷却ジャケットは、該モータブラケットに接触させ内部に冷却水を通水させる冷却水路を備えた。   The present invention is a processing apparatus comprising a holding means for holding a wafer and a processing means for processing the wafer, the holding means having a holding table for holding the wafer and a center of the holding table. A rotating shaft that is rotated in a rotating manner, a holding base that rotatably supports the rotating shaft and that is supported by the device base, and a plate-like motor bracket that is disposed on the holding base or the device base. A motor serving as a rotational power source; transmission means for transmitting the rotational force of the motor to the rotating shaft; and a cooling jacket for cooling the motor bracket. The cooling jacket is brought into contact with the motor bracket and has cooling water therein. A cooling channel for allowing water to pass through was provided.

本発明に係る加工装置は、ウェーハを保持する保持手段を備え、保持手段は、ウェーハを保持する保持テーブルと、保持テーブルの中心を軸に回転させる回転軸と、回転軸を回転自在に支持し装置基台に支持される保持ベースと、保持ベースまたは装置基台に板状のモータブラケットを介して配設され回転軸の回転動力源のモータと、モータの回転力を回転軸に伝達する伝達手段と、モータブラケットを冷却する冷却ジャケットとを備え、 冷却ジャケットは、モータブラケットに接触させ内部に冷却水を通水させる冷却水路を備えたため、モータとともにモータブラケットを保持ベースまたは装置基台から取り外すことなく、モータブラケットに対する冷却ジャケットの着脱を容易に行える。したがって、伝達手段が例えばベルト伝達機構からなる場合には、ベルトテンションの調整することなく、冷却ジャケットの交換及び追加が可能となり、作業時間を短縮し得る。また、伝達手段が例えばギア伝達機構からなる場合においても、ギアのかみ合いを調整する必要がなくなり、上記同様に、作業時間を短縮し得る。   A processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a holding unit that holds a wafer. The holding unit supports a holding table that holds the wafer, a rotating shaft that rotates about the center of the holding table, and a rotating shaft that rotatably supports the rotating shaft. A holding base supported by the device base, a motor serving as a rotational power source for the rotating shaft disposed on the holding base or the device base via a plate-like motor bracket, and transmission for transmitting the rotational force of the motor to the rotating shaft Means and a cooling jacket for cooling the motor bracket, and the cooling jacket is provided with a cooling water passage that contacts the motor bracket and allows cooling water to flow inside, so that the motor bracket is removed from the holding base or the equipment base together with the motor. The cooling jacket can be easily attached to and detached from the motor bracket. Therefore, when the transmission means is composed of, for example, a belt transmission mechanism, it is possible to replace and add the cooling jacket without adjusting the belt tension, thereby shortening the working time. Further, even when the transmission means is composed of, for example, a gear transmission mechanism, it is not necessary to adjust the gear meshing, and the working time can be shortened as described above.

The processing apparatus 1 has an apparatus base 10 that extends in the Y-axis direction. The processing apparatus 1 includes a holding unit 2 that holds the wafer W, a processing unit 3 that grinds the wafer W held by the holding unit 2, and a grinding feed direction in which the processing unit 3 approaches and separates from the holding unit 2 ( Elevating means 4 for elevating in the Z-axis direction) is provided.

The processing means 3 is supported so as to be movable up and down by the lifting means 4 in front of the column 11. The processing means 3 includes a spindle 30 having an axis in the Z-axis direction, a spindle housing 31 that surrounds the outer periphery of the spindle 30, a motor 32 attached to one end of the spindle 30, and a holder 33 that holds the spindle housing 31. , A grinding wheel 35 attached to the lower end of the spindle 30 via the mount 34, and a plurality of grinding wheels 36 fixed to the lower part of the grinding wheel 35 in an annular shape. When the motor 32 rotates the spindle 30, the grinding wheel 35 can be rotated at a predetermined rotational speed.

昇降手段4は、Z軸方向に延在するボールネジ40と、ボールネジ40の一端に接続されたモータ41と、ボールネジ40と平行に延在する一対のガイドレール42と、内部に備えたナットがボールネジ40に螺合するとともに側部がガイドレール42に摺接する昇降板43とを備えている。昇降板43には、ホルダ33が固定されている。そして、モータ41がボールネジ40を回動させることにより、一対のガイドレール42に沿って昇降板43とともに加工手段3をZ軸方向に昇降させることができる。   The elevating means 4 includes a ball screw 40 extending in the Z-axis direction, a motor 41 connected to one end of the ball screw 40, a pair of guide rails 42 extending in parallel to the ball screw 40, and a nut provided inside the ball screw 40. And an elevating plate 43 which is screwed to 40 and whose side is in sliding contact with the guide rail 42. A holder 33 is fixed to the lifting plate 43. When the motor 41 rotates the ball screw 40, the processing means 3 can be lifted and lowered in the Z-axis direction along with the lift plate 43 along the pair of guide rails 42.

保持手段2は、ウェーハWを保持する保持テーブル20と、保持テーブル20の中心を軸に回転させる回転軸21と、回転軸21を回転自在に支持し装置基台10に支持される図2に示す保持ベース22と、保持ベース22または装置基台10にモータブラケット26を介して配設され回転軸21の回転動力源のモータ24と、モータ24の回転力を回転軸21に伝達する伝達手段25と、モータブラケット26を冷却する冷却ジャケット27とを備えている。   The holding means 2 includes a holding table 20 that holds the wafer W, a rotating shaft 21 that rotates around the center of the holding table 20, and a rotating shaft 21 that is rotatably supported by the apparatus base 10 in FIG. 2. The holding base 22 shown, the holding base 22 or the apparatus base 10 via the motor bracket 26, the motor 24 as the rotational power source of the rotary shaft 21, and the transmission means for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 24 to the rotary shaft 21. 25 and a cooling jacket 27 for cooling the motor bracket 26.

保持テーブル20の上面は、ウェーハWを吸引保持する保持面20aとなっている。保持テーブル20には、図示しない吸引源が接続されており、吸引源の吸引力を保持面20aに作用させることができる。保持テーブル20の周囲は、カバー12によって覆われている。図2に示すように、保持テーブル20は、保持ベース22に着脱自在に取り付けられる構成となっている。保持ベース22は、装置基台10に立設された支柱23によって水平に支持されている。   The upper surface of the holding table 20 is a holding surface 20a that holds the wafer W by suction. A suction source (not shown) is connected to the holding table 20, and the suction force of the suction source can be applied to the holding surface 20a. The periphery of the holding table 20 is covered with a cover 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the holding table 20 is configured to be detachably attached to the holding base 22. The holding base 22 is horizontally supported by a column 23 erected on the apparatus base 10.

モータ24の先端には、シャフト240が接続されている。本実施形態に示す装置基台10の内部には、モータブラケット26が固定される固定面101を有する取り付け穴100が形成されている。固定面101には、シャフト240を貫通させるシャフト貫通孔102と、シャフト貫通孔102の周囲に第1のネジ6を螺合させる第1の雌ネジ103と、第2のネジ7を螺合させる第2の雌ネジ104とが形成されている。   A shaft 240 is connected to the tip of the motor 24. A mounting hole 100 having a fixing surface 101 to which the motor bracket 26 is fixed is formed inside the apparatus base 10 shown in the present embodiment. The fixing surface 101 is screwed with a shaft through hole 102 that penetrates the shaft 240, a first female screw 103 that screws the first screw 6 around the shaft through hole 102, and a second screw 7. A second female screw 104 is formed.

図3に示すように、伝達手段25は、回転軸21に接続された従動プーリ250と、モータブラケット26を介してモータ24に接続された駆動プーリ251と、従動プーリ250と駆動プーリ251とに巻かれたベルト252とにより構成されている。モータ24のシャフト240の上端には駆動プーリ251が接続されている。モータ24が駆動プーリ251を駆動させると、ベルト252が従動プーリ250を従動させて回転力を回転軸21に伝達し、回転軸21とともに保持テーブル20を回転させることができる。回転軸21に回転力を伝達する伝達手段25としては、本実施形態に示したベルト伝達機構の構成に限定されるものではなく、ギア伝達機構によって伝達手段25を構成してもよい。   As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission means 25 includes a driven pulley 250 connected to the rotating shaft 21, a driving pulley 251 connected to the motor 24 via the motor bracket 26, and the driven pulley 250 and the driving pulley 251. The belt 252 is wound around. A driving pulley 251 is connected to the upper end of the shaft 240 of the motor 24. When the motor 24 drives the drive pulley 251, the belt 252 drives the driven pulley 250 to transmit the rotational force to the rotating shaft 21, and the holding table 20 can be rotated together with the rotating shaft 21. The transmission means 25 that transmits the rotational force to the rotary shaft 21 is not limited to the configuration of the belt transmission mechanism shown in the present embodiment, and the transmission means 25 may be configured by a gear transmission mechanism.

モータブラケット26は、例えば矩形板状に形成され、モータ24のシャフト240を貫通させる貫通孔260と、貫通孔260の周囲に形成された複数(例えば2つ)の第1の挿入孔261と複数(例えば2つ)の第2の挿入孔262とを備えている。第1の挿入孔261は、図2に示した第1の雌ネジ103の位置に対応している。また、第2の挿入孔262は、第2の雌ネジ104の位置に対応している。   The motor bracket 26 is formed in, for example, a rectangular plate shape, and includes a through hole 260 through which the shaft 240 of the motor 24 passes, and a plurality of (for example, two) first insertion holes 261 and a plurality of holes formed around the through hole 260. (For example, two) second insertion holes 262 are provided. The first insertion hole 261 corresponds to the position of the first female screw 103 shown in FIG. The second insertion hole 262 corresponds to the position of the second female screw 104.

ここで、装置基台10の内部にモータブラケット26を介してモータ24を取り付ける場合は、モータブラケット26の貫通孔260及びシャフト貫通孔102にシャフト240を貫通させて装置基台10の上面から突出させるとともに、モータブラケット26を固定面101に当接させる。この状態で、第1のネジ6を第1の挿入孔261から挿入し第1の雌ネジ103に螺合させることにより、モータブラケット26を固定面101に固定する。モータ24を固定面101から取り外す場合には、上記取り付け動作の逆の動作を行えばよい。   Here, when the motor 24 is attached to the inside of the apparatus base 10 via the motor bracket 26, the shaft 240 is passed through the through hole 260 and the shaft through hole 102 of the motor bracket 26 and protrudes from the upper surface of the apparatus base 10. In addition, the motor bracket 26 is brought into contact with the fixed surface 101. In this state, the motor bracket 26 is fixed to the fixed surface 101 by inserting the first screw 6 through the first insertion hole 261 and screwing the first screw 6 into the first female screw 103. When the motor 24 is removed from the fixed surface 101, an operation reverse to the above-described attachment operation may be performed.

冷却ジャケット27は、例えばU字形状に形成されており、その内側に開口270を有している。冷却ジャケット27の端部27a,27bには、第2のネジ7を挿入させる挿入孔271がそれぞれ形成されている。挿入孔271の位置は、モータブラケット26の第2の挿入孔262の位置に対応している。本実施形態に示す冷却ジャケット27は、U字形状からなるため、モータ24が冷却ジャケット27の側面に接触するのを防ぐことができる。なお、冷却ジャケット27は、モータ24を囲繞できる形状であればよく、特にU字形状に限定されず、例えばコの字形状でもよい。   The cooling jacket 27 is formed, for example, in a U shape, and has an opening 270 inside thereof. Insertion holes 271 for inserting the second screw 7 are formed in the end portions 27a and 27b of the cooling jacket 27, respectively. The position of the insertion hole 271 corresponds to the position of the second insertion hole 262 of the motor bracket 26. Since the cooling jacket 27 shown in the present embodiment has a U-shape, the motor 24 can be prevented from coming into contact with the side surface of the cooling jacket 27. The cooling jacket 27 may be any shape that can surround the motor 24 and is not particularly limited to a U shape, and may be, for example, a U shape.

図4に示すように、冷却ジャケット27の内部には、冷却水8を通水させる冷却水路272が形成されている。冷却ジャケット27の端部27a側の冷却水路272には、冷却水循環装置5から所定温度に調節された冷却水8を冷却水路272に供給する供給管28が接続されている。また、冷却ジャケット27の端部27b側の冷却水路272には、冷却水路272から冷却水8を排水する排水管29が接続されている。冷却水循環装置5から供給管28を通じて冷却水路272内に冷却水8を流入させると、冷却水8が冷却水路272に沿って流れていき、排水管29から排水される。排水された冷却水8が冷却水循環装置5に流れ込むと、再度所定温度に調節されてから供給管28に向けて送出される。
かかる冷却ジャケット27は、常に冷却水8が冷却水路272内を循環するように構成されている。
As shown in FIG. 4, a cooling water passage 272 for passing the cooling water 8 is formed inside the cooling jacket 27. A supply pipe 28 that supplies the cooling water 8 adjusted to a predetermined temperature from the cooling water circulation device 5 to the cooling water path 272 is connected to the cooling water path 272 on the end 27 a side of the cooling jacket 27. Further, a drain pipe 29 that drains the cooling water 8 from the cooling water path 272 is connected to the cooling water path 272 on the end 27 b side of the cooling jacket 27. When the cooling water 8 is caused to flow into the cooling water passage 272 from the cooling water circulation device 5 through the supply pipe 28, the cooling water 8 flows along the cooling water passage 272 and is drained from the drain pipe 29. When the drained cooling water 8 flows into the cooling water circulation device 5, it is adjusted again to a predetermined temperature and then sent toward the supply pipe 28.
The cooling jacket 27 is configured such that the cooling water 8 always circulates in the cooling water channel 272.

モータブラケット26に冷却ジャケット27を取り付ける場合は、図5に示すように、冷却ジャケット27の挿入孔271とモータブラケット26の第2の挿入孔262とを一致させ、モータブラケット26の下面に冷却ジャケット27を接触させる。続いて、第2のネジ7を挿入孔271と第2の挿入孔262とに挿入し、図2に示した装置基台10の第2の雌ネジ104に螺合させて締結することにより、冷却ジャケット27をモータブラケット26に固定する。これにより、モータ24を開口270に位置づけてモータ24の側面を冷却ジャケット27で囲繞した状態となる。冷却ジャケット27をモータブラケット26から取り外す場合は、第2のネジ7を挿入孔271及び第2の挿入孔262から取り外すだけで、冷却ジャケット27を容易にモータブラケット26から取り外すことができる。また、冷却ジャケット27では、U字形状の内側面が円柱状のモータ24の外側面に接触することにより、モータブラケット26を冷却するとともにモータ24を冷却することができる。   When the cooling jacket 27 is attached to the motor bracket 26, as shown in FIG. 5, the insertion hole 271 of the cooling jacket 27 and the second insertion hole 262 of the motor bracket 26 are made to coincide, and the cooling jacket 27 is attached to the lower surface of the motor bracket 26. 27 is brought into contact. Subsequently, the second screw 7 is inserted into the insertion hole 271 and the second insertion hole 262, and is screwed into the second female screw 104 of the device base 10 shown in FIG. The cooling jacket 27 is fixed to the motor bracket 26. As a result, the motor 24 is positioned in the opening 270 and the side surface of the motor 24 is surrounded by the cooling jacket 27. When removing the cooling jacket 27 from the motor bracket 26, the cooling jacket 27 can be easily detached from the motor bracket 26 simply by removing the second screw 7 from the insertion hole 271 and the second insertion hole 262. In the cooling jacket 27, the U-shaped inner surface contacts the outer surface of the cylindrical motor 24, whereby the motor bracket 26 can be cooled and the motor 24 can be cooled.

次に、図1に示した加工装置1の動作例について説明する。ウェーハWは、円形板状の被加工物の一例であって、材質等が特に限定されない。ウェーハWを研削加工する際には、図示しない吸引源の作用を受けた保持面20aでウェーハWを吸引保持し、保持テーブル20を加工手段3の下方に移動させる。続いて、モータ24を駆動させて回転力を伝達手段25によって回転軸21に伝達し、保持テーブル20を所定の方向に回転させる。加工手段3は、スピンドル30を回転させることにより、研削ホイール35を所定の方向に回転させながら、昇降手段4によって、加工手段3を保持テーブル20の保持面20aに接近する方向に下降させ、回転しながら下降する研削砥石36でウェーハWを押圧しながら所定の厚みに至るまで研削加工する。   Next, an operation example of the processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The wafer W is an example of a circular plate-like workpiece, and the material or the like is not particularly limited. When grinding the wafer W, the wafer W is sucked and held by the holding surface 20a that has received the action of a suction source (not shown), and the holding table 20 is moved below the processing means 3. Subsequently, the motor 24 is driven and the rotational force is transmitted to the rotary shaft 21 by the transmission means 25 to rotate the holding table 20 in a predetermined direction. The processing means 3 rotates the spindle 30 to lower the processing means 3 in the direction approaching the holding surface 20a of the holding table 20 by the elevating means 4 while rotating the grinding wheel 35 in a predetermined direction. While grinding the grinding wheel 36 while descending, the wafer W is pressed until it reaches a predetermined thickness.

ウェーハWの研削中は、保持テーブル20を回転させ続けるため、モータ24が発熱する。そのため、図4に示すように、冷却水循環装置5が常に冷却ジャケット27の冷却水路272に冷却水8を通水させることにより、モータ24を冷却する。すなわち、冷却水路272内を循環する冷却水8の冷却作用によってモータ24の周囲を常に冷却することにより、モータ24の熱を除熱し、保持テーブル20に熱影響を及ぼさないようにする。なお、冷却水8としては、例えば純水などが用いられる。   During grinding of the wafer W, the motor 24 generates heat to keep the holding table 20 rotating. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the cooling water circulation device 5 always causes the cooling water 8 to flow through the cooling water passage 272 of the cooling jacket 27, thereby cooling the motor 24. That is, by constantly cooling the periphery of the motor 24 by the cooling action of the cooling water 8 circulating in the cooling water passage 272, the heat of the motor 24 is removed so that the holding table 20 is not affected. For example, pure water is used as the cooling water 8.

このように、本発明に係る加工装置1は、ウェーハWを保持する保持手段2と、ウェーハWを加工する加工手段3とを備え、保持手段2は、ウェーハWを保持する保持テーブル20と、保持テーブル20の中心を軸に回転させる回転軸21と、回転軸21を回転自在に支持し装置基台10に支持される保持ベース22と、保持ベース22または装置基台10に板状のモータブラケット26を介して配設され回転軸21の回転動力源のモータ24と、モータ24の回転力を回転軸21に伝達する伝達手段25と、モータブラケット26を冷却する冷却ジャケット27とを備え、冷却ジャケット27は、モータブラケット26に接触させ内部に冷却水8を通水させる冷却水路272を備えたため、モータ24とともにモータブラケット26を例えば装置基台10から取り外すことなく、モータブラケット26に対する冷却ジャケット27の着脱を容易に行うことができる。これにより、ベルト252のベルトテンションの調整をすることなく、冷却ジャケット27の交換及び追加が可能となり、作業時間を短縮することができる。また、伝達手段25がギア伝達機構からなる場合においても、ギアのかみ合いを調整する必要がなく、作業時間を短縮することができる。   As described above, the processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes the holding unit 2 that holds the wafer W and the processing unit 3 that processes the wafer W, and the holding unit 2 includes the holding table 20 that holds the wafer W, A rotating shaft 21 that rotates around the center of the holding table 20, a holding base 22 that rotatably supports the rotating shaft 21 and supported by the apparatus base 10, and a plate-like motor on the holding base 22 or the apparatus base 10 A motor 24 as a rotational power source of the rotary shaft 21 disposed via the bracket 26, a transmission means 25 for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 24 to the rotary shaft 21, and a cooling jacket 27 for cooling the motor bracket 26; Since the cooling jacket 27 includes a cooling water passage 272 that contacts the motor bracket 26 and allows the cooling water 8 to flow inside, the motor bracket 26 and the motor bracket 26 are illustrated. Without removing from the apparatus base 10, the attachment and detachment of the cooling jacket 27 for the motor bracket 26 can be easily performed. As a result, it is possible to replace and add the cooling jacket 27 without adjusting the belt tension of the belt 252, thereby shortening the working time. Further, even when the transmission means 25 is composed of a gear transmission mechanism, it is not necessary to adjust the meshing of the gear, and the working time can be shortened.

上記実施形態に示した加工装置1は、研削装置として説明したが、この構成に限定されず、保持テーブル20の回転駆動源となるモータ24を備え、発熱したモータ24を冷却ジャケット27で冷却する必要がある加工装置であればよい。したがって、例えば、研磨装置等にも本発明を適用することができる。   Although the processing apparatus 1 shown in the above embodiment has been described as a grinding apparatus, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Any processing apparatus may be used. Therefore, for example, the present invention can be applied to a polishing apparatus or the like.
