Description

CUTTING DEVICE AND CUTTING METHOD [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting apparatus and a cutting method for producing a plurality of individualized pieces by cutting a piece to be cut.

A substrate made of a printed board or a lead frame is virtually divided into a plurality of regions in a lattice shape and a chip-shaped element (for example, a semiconductor chip) is mounted on each region, This is called a sealed substrate. The sealed substrate has a surface on the substrate side and a surface on the resin side. The finished substrate is cut by a cutting mechanism using a rotary blade or the like, and is divided into individual pieces, that is, cut into individual pieces.

Conventionally, a predetermined region of a substrate that has been sealed by a cutting apparatus is cut by a cutting mechanism such as a rotary blade. First, the sealed substrate is loaded on a cutting table and adsorbed. Subsequently, the sealed substrate is aligned (aligned). By alignment, the position of a virtual cut line for dividing a plurality of regions is set. Subsequently, the cutting table on which the sealed substrate is adsorbed and the cutting mechanism are relatively moved. The cutting water is sprayed onto the cutting position of the sealing substrate and the sealing substrate is cut along the cutting line set on the sealing substrate by the cutting mechanism. By cutting the encapsulated substrate, the individualized product is produced.

As the resin sealing technique, resin molding techniques such as compression molding and transfer molding are used. When a semiconductor such as an integrated circuit (IC) is resin-sealed, for example, a resin material in which carbon particles having conductivity as a coloring agent are added to a thermosetting epoxy resin is used. Therefore, the IC is resin-sealed using a black resin material to which carbon particles are added. On the other hand, an optical semiconductor element such as a light emitting diode (LED) is resin-sealed using a transparent liquid resin that is thermosetting and light-permeable, such as silicon resin or epoxy resin. Therefore, in the LED, it is important to keep the surface of the transparent resin in a clean state free from contamination or scratches so as not to interfere with the transmission of light.

In addition, in recent years, along with the enlargement of the substrate and the thinning of the substrate, the distance for cutting the sealed substrate has become very long. As the distance for cutting becomes long, the amount of cutting chips or resin residue generated by cutting becomes large, and it is easy to attach cutting chips or resin debris along the surface or the cutting portion of the cutting completion substrate (plural pieces of the product) Loses. Therefore, it is important to remove the cone termination (contaminants) such as chips or resin residue attached to the surface of the cut-off substrate or the cut-out portion, thereby making the surface of the cut-off substrate clean.

A dicing apparatus which improves the force for removing the termination, comprising: a work table on which a workpiece is mounted and which is fed and processed in the X direction and rotated by (omitted)? And a rotary blade which is index- (Not shown) is cut by the rotary blade, wherein a jetting member for jetting the liquid mixed with the high-pressure gas in a linear shape with a width larger than the work diameter is provided, and the jetting member Quot; is arranged at a position where the liquid can be injected into the work at one end of the work transfer stroke of the work (not shown) of the work (for example, see paragraphs [0007] 5).

However, it is also difficult to completely remove the contamination adhering to the surface of the workpiece and the work grooves by only cleaning the liquid to which the high-pressure gas is added. Particularly, in a photosemiconductor device such as an LED, it is strongly desired to make a clean surface state free from contamination or scratches.

[Example 1]

Embodiment 1 of the cutting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. All of the drawings in the present application are schematically shown by being omitted or exaggerated appropriately in order to facilitate understanding. The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is appropriately omitted.

As shown in Fig. 1, the cutting apparatus 1 is a device for separating pieces to be cut into a plurality of products. The cutting apparatus 1 includes a substrate supply unit A, a substrate cutting unit B, an inspection unit C, and a storage unit D as constituent elements. Each of the components (each of the units A to D) is detachable and exchangeable with respect to each of the other components.

The substrate supply unit A is provided with a substrate supply mechanism 2. The sealed substrate 3 corresponding to the material to be cut is carried out of the substrate feeding mechanism 2 and transferred to the substrate cutting unit B by a feeding mechanism (not shown). The sealed substrate 3 may be transported with the substrate side facing up and with the resin side facing up. For example, a sealing substrate of a ball grid array package (BGA) type is transported with its substrate side facing up. On the other hand, a sealed substrate which is resin-sealed using a transparent resin material such as an LED is often transported with its resin side facing up. In Fig. 1, a description will be given of a case where an LED encapsulates a resin-sealed substrate 3 to be sealed. Thus, the sealed substrate 3 is transported with its resin side facing up.

The cutting apparatus 1 shown in Fig. 1 is a single-cut table type cutting apparatus. Therefore, the substrate cutting unit B is provided with one cutting table 4. The cutting table 4 is movable in the Y direction in the drawing by the moving mechanism 5 and is rotatable in the? Direction by the rotating mechanism 6.

Each of the spindles 7A and 7B is provided with a cutting water supply nozzle for spraying the cutting water toward the working point so as to suppress the frictional heat generated by, for example, rotating blades 8A and 8B rotating at a high speed Not shown). The sealing substrate 3 is cut by relatively moving the cutting table 4 and the spindles 7A and 7B. 1 shows a case where the sealed substrate 3 is cut by fixing the spindles 7A and 7B and moving the cutting table 4 in the Y direction.

The substrate cutting unit B is provided with an assembly of a plurality of individual products P cut from the sealed substrate 3, that is, one side of the cut substrate 9 And a cleaning mechanism 11 for cleaning the other surface (the surface on the substrate side in Fig. 1) are provided.

In the cleaning mechanism 10, a scrub cleaning mechanism 12, a jet cleaning mechanism 13, and a drying mechanism 14 are integrally provided. The cutting table 4 linearly reciprocates along the Y direction under the cleaning mechanism 10 by the moving mechanism 5. [ The surface of the cut-finished substrate 9 on the resin side (the surface to be cleaned) is returned to the scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 or the spray cleaning mechanism (not shown) by the reciprocating movement of the cutting table 4 linearly below the cleaning mechanism 10. [ 13, and is dried by the drying device 14. [ The cleaning mechanism 10 having the scrub cleaning mechanism 12, the jet cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 moves integrally.

The cleaning mechanism 11 is provided with a cleaning roller 15 rotatable about the Y direction. A cut-off substrate 9 is disposed above the cleaning mechanism 11 for cleaning the surface on the substrate side. The resin-side surface of the cut-off substrate 9 is attracted and fixed by a transport mechanism (not shown). In other words, the cut-off substrate 9 is fixed to the transport mechanism with the substrate-side surface down. The transport mechanism is movable in the X and Z directions. The conveying mechanism descends and reciprocates in the X direction, so that the surface of the cut substrate 9 on the substrate side is cleaned by the cleaning roller 15. [

The inspection unit (C) is provided with an inspection stage (16). The cut-off substrate 9 is moved and mounted on the inspection stage 16. The inspection stage 16 is configured to be movable in the X direction and to be rotated about the Y direction as an axis. The plurality of separated products P are inspected by the inspection camera 17 on the side of the resin side and the side of the substrate side, and are sorted into good products and defective products.

In the present embodiment, a control unit CTL for setting and controlling the operation of the cutting apparatus 1, cutting conditions, cleaning conditions, and the like is provided in the substrate supply unit A. The present invention is not limited to this, and the control unit CTL may be provided in another unit.

2 (a), the cleaning mechanism 10 integrally includes a scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12, a jet cleaning mechanism 13, and a drying mechanism 14. As shown in FIG. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is vertically drivable by a driving mechanism (not shown). A sponge member 22 in the form of a block is provided as a cleaning member at the tip end of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12. 2 (a) and 2 (b)), the cleaning mechanism 10 is provided with cleaning water 24 (corresponding to the "first cleaning water") (see FIG. 2 A washing water supply passage 25 for directly supplying a washing water (indicated by a broken line arrow in Fig. One or a plurality of cleaning water supply passages 25 are provided. It is preferable that the washing water supply passage 25 supplies the washing water 24 in a large amount over the entire lengthwise direction (X direction) of the sponge member 22.

The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered from a predetermined position of the cleaning mechanism 10 and the sponge member 22 containing a large amount of the cleaning water 24 is brought into contact with the surface of the cut substrate 9 . More specifically, in a state in which the cleaning water 24 supplied in a large amount is pushed out from the front surface of the sponge member 22 (the lower portion in FIG. 2A), the sponge member 22 is moved to the cut- 9) (see Fig. 1). Thus, the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 is cleaned. As the sponge member 22, it is preferable to use a urethane sponge or PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) sponge having excellent absorbing ability, water retention property and small pore diameter.

The spray cleaning mechanism 13 is a nozzle consisting of a first-stage or a second stage fixed to the cleaning mechanism 10. In the case of the first-flow nozzle, the washing water 26 (corresponding to the "second washing water") is sprayed toward the cutting-off substrate 9 from the tip of the nozzle. As the cleansing water 26, it is preferable to use pure water, carbonated water, ozonated water or the like. In the case of the sump nozzle, gas such as compressed air or nitrogen gas is supplied into the washing water 26. The cleansing water 26 mixed with the gas becomes fine particles in a spray state and is sprayed toward the cut-off substrate 9. [ In addition, ultrasonic waves may be applied to the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13 to be sprayed.

The drying mechanism (14) is a drying mechanism fixed to the cleaning mechanism (10). The surface of the cut substrate 9 is dried by blowing a gas 27 such as compressed air or nitrogen gas from the drying mechanism 14 toward the cut substrate 9. [

Each of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 (particularly, the sponge member 22), the spray cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 includes a plurality of products P) (see Fig. 1) may be collectively washed or dried. In Figs. 1 and 2, this length is a length along the X direction. The aforementioned width direction may be either the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the cut-off substrate 9. Each of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 (particularly, the sponge member 22), the spray cleaning mechanism 13 and the drying mechanism 14 includes a plurality of products P arranged along the longitudinal direction of the cut- Are collectively washed or dried.

Fig. 2 (b) shows a modification of the cleaning mechanism 10. Fig. The difference from FIG. 2 (a) is that a sponge member 28 of a roll shape rotatable about the X-axis is used as the sponge member in the scrub cleaning mechanism 12. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a cleaning water supply passage 25 for supplying cleaning water 24 to the sponge member 28 is provided in the cleaning mechanism 10. The sponge member 28 containing a large amount of the washing water 24 is brought into contact with the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 while the sponge member 28 is rotated. As a result, the cleaning water 24 pushed out from the sponge member 28 cleans the surface of the cut-off substrate 9. The spindle member 28 may be rotated by rotating the shaft. The spindle member 28 may be rotated by moving the cut-off substrate 9 which contacts the sponge member 28 with the shaft as a slave axis.

Fig. 2C shows another modification of the cleaning mechanism 10. As shown in Fig. The difference from FIGS. 2A and 2B is that the two jet cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B are provided in the cleaning mechanism 10. [0064] A scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 is provided between the two jet cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B. As in Fig. 2A, a single-fluid nozzle or a sieve nozzle is used as the spray cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B.

As shown in Figs. 3 (a) and 3 (b), a cut-finished substrate 9 composed of a plurality of individual products P cut from the sealed substrate 3 is placed on the cutting table 4 Is loaded. It is preferable to match the longitudinal direction of the cut substrate 9 with the direction in which the scrub cleaning mechanism 12, the jet cleaning mechanism 13 and the drying mechanism 14 respectively extend in the same direction (X direction in the drawing) . The cut-off substrate 9 has ten products P in the longitudinal direction and four products P in the width direction. Aggregates of ten products P arranged in the lengthwise direction on the cut-off finished substrate 9 are successively stacked on the aggregates G1, G2 and G3 (in this order, from the side closer to the cleaning mechanism 10 , G4. Therefore, the cut-off substrate 9 is composed of the aggregates G1, G2, G3, and G4 formed of a plurality of products (P). When the cutting table 4 passes under the cleaning mechanism 10, the aggregates G1, G2, G3, and G4 are separated by one of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12, the spray cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14, G4 are each cleaned or dried as a single integral.

In the cleaning mechanism 10, the scrubbing mechanism 12 is provided with a block-shaped sponge member 22 having a length contacting the aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 along the X direction. A plurality of jetting holes 29 for jetting the jetting water 26 toward the downward direction (-Z direction) or downward oblique direction are formed in the jetting cleaning mechanism 13, and are uniformly arranged in the X direction. The drying mechanism 14 is provided with a plurality of supply holes 30 for supplying the base body 27 made of, for example, compressed air in the downward direction (-Z direction), and is uniformly arranged in the X direction. Therefore, the cutting table 4 passes below the cleaning mechanism 10, and the cut substrates 9 (aggregates G1, G2, G3, and G4) stacked on the cutting table 4 are uniformly spread Washed and dried.

An operation of cleaning the surface (the upper surface in the drawing) of the cut-off substrate 9 by the cleaning mechanism 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 3A and 3B. The cutting table 4 uses the moving mechanism 5 to reciprocate between a standby position S1, a cleaning position S2 and a stop position S3, which are predetermined positions in the Y direction. First, in the cleaning mechanism 10, the cleaning water 24 is supplied to the sponge member 22 provided in the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 via the cleaning water supply passage 25 (see FIG. 2). Subsequently, the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered from a predetermined position of the cleaning mechanism 10, and the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 (sponge member 22) is placed at a position where the surface of the cut substrate 9 can be cleaned. . Subsequently, the cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2. The cut substrate 9 mounted on the cutting table 4 is brought into contact with the sponge member 22 including the cleaning water 24 at the cleaning position S2.

The cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction (in other words, linearly) in a state in which the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24 is in contact with the cutting completion substrate 9. [ Thereby, in a state in which the cleaning water 24 is directly supplied from the surface of the sponge member 22 toward the portion to be cleaned on the surface of the cut substrate 9, 9). In other words, in a state in which the cleaning water 24 pushed out from the surface of the sponge member 22 is directly fed toward the portion where the sponge member 22 contacts the surface of the cut-off substrate 9, The substrate 22 rubs the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 by a physical force (this also applies to other embodiments). Therefore, cutting chips or resin scraps or the like adhered or fixed to the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 can be rubbed and removed.

The cleaning water 24 that is pushed out from the surface of the sponge member 22 and the cleaning water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13 are removed from the surface of the sponge member 22 by cutting chips or resin scraps removed by the sponge member 22, ). In the cleaning mechanism 10, the physical cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the fluid cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 are combined to form the cutting chips 9 attached or fixed to the surface of the cut- And cone terminations such as resin residue can be effectively removed. By using the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13, the termination can be removed more effectively. The urethane sponge or the PVA sponge used in the sponge member 22 is excellent in flexibility and elasticity in the water supply state and therefore prevents the surface of the cut substrate 9 from being scratched when rubbed can do.

After cleaning the cut-off substrate 9 at the cleaning position S2, the cutting table 4 is further moved in the -Y direction and stopped at the stop position S3. The injection of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is stopped. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is raised and stopped at a predetermined standby position rather than a position for scrub cleaning. By this process, the cleaning is completed once. The cleaning by the above steps is a one-way cleaning that moves the cut-off substrate 9 linearly in the -Y direction only once.

Subsequently, the cutting table 4 is returned from the stop position S3 to the standby position S1. The washing of the one side including the cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 may be repeated a plurality of times. The surface of the cut substrate 9 is dried by the drying mechanism 14 after the cut substrate 9 is thoroughly cleaned by the cleaning with the scrubbing mechanism 12 or the cleaning with the jet cleaning mechanism 13 . The drying of the surface of the completely cut substrate 9 by the drying mechanism 14 is the same in the other embodiments.

According to the present embodiment, in the cutting apparatus 1, the scrubbing mechanism 12, the spray cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 are provided in the cleaning mechanism 10. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is vertically drivable, and a sponge member 22 is provided as a cleaning member at the tip of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12. The washing water 24 is supplied to the sponge member 22 via the washing water supply passage 25 from the washing water supply mechanism 23 (see FIG. 2A). The cutting table 4 on which the cut substrates 9 made of a plurality of individualized products P are placed is linearly moved below the cleaning mechanism 10 so that the scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12, The surface of the cut-off substrate 9 is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 13. The chip or resin residue adhered or fixed to the surface of the cut substrate 9 is physically rubbed and removed by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24. [ In addition to the cleansing water 24 pushed out from the surface of the sponge member 22, the cleansing water 26 ejected from the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is used to remove the rubbed chips and resin scraps. The physical cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the liquid cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 can be combined effectively. Therefore, the surface of a plurality of individualized products P can be made clean without contraction, thereby improving the quality of the product. Further, since the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 is cleaned by the flexible and resilient sponge member 22 including the washing water 24, when the surfaces of the plurality of products P are rubbed, It is possible to prevent scratches.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform the cleaning by the combination of the physical cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the fluid cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13, It is possible to reliably remove the con- tamination which has been adhered to the surface of the substrate 9. Therefore, it is possible to abolish or reduce the work for changing the cutting condition and the flow rate of the washing water in accordance with the product (IC product, LED product, etc.) obtained by cutting in order to reduce the termination. Therefore, first, by using the cleaning mechanism 10 in the cutting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the production efficiency can be improved. Secondly, since the cleaning process and the drying process are performed in the same cleaning mechanism, the production efficiency can be improved. Thirdly, since the termination can be reliably removed, the quality of the product can be improved. These three effects are also the same in the other embodiments.

Embodiment 2 of the cutting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 4 to 5. Fig. As shown in Fig. 4A, the cut-off substrate 9 has aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 composed of a plurality of rows of products P (see Fig. 3 (a)). In the waiting position S1, the aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 are arranged in order from the side close to the cleaning position S2. First, in the cleaning mechanism 10, the washing water 24 (see Fig. 2 (a)) is supplied to the sponge member 22. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered to a predetermined position. The cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 4 (b), the aggregate G1 at the left end of the cut-off substrate 9 mounted on the cutting table 4 is brought into contact with the sponge member 22. Then, The cutting table 4 is further linearly moved in the -Y direction so that the surface of the aggregate G1 is moved from the left side to the right side in Fig. 4B by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24 As shown in FIG. As a result, the chips or resin residue attached to the surface of the aggregate G1 are rubbed along the direction from the aggregate G1 toward the aggregate G4. The spraying of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is started.

4 (c), at the cleaning position S2, the cutting table 4 is further moved linearly in the -Y direction. The surfaces of the aggregates G2, G3, and G4 are sequentially rubbed along the direction from the aggregate G1 toward the aggregate G4 by the sponge member 22 including the washing water. In parallel, cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 is sequentially started from the aggregate G1. The cutting chips or resin scraped off by the sponge member 22 are removed by the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ The cut substrates 9 stacked on the cutting table 4 are sequentially cleaned by the scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13 in the order of the aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 do.

Then, as shown in Fig. 4 (d), the cutting table 4 is stopped at the stop position S3. The injection of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is stopped. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is raised and stopped at a predetermined standby position above the position at which scrub cleaning is performed. The cutting table 4 is returned from the stop position S3 to the standby position S1.

Next, as shown in Fig. 5A, the cutting table 4 is rotated 180 degrees by using the rotation mechanism 6 at the standby position S1. Thus, the cut-off substrate 9 is arranged in the order of the aggregates G4, G3, G2 and G1 from the side closer to the cleaning position S2. In the cleaning mechanism (10), the washing water (24) is supplied to the sponge member (22). The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered to a predetermined position. Thereafter, the cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2.

Then, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), the aggregate G4 at the left end of the cut-off substrate 9 mounted on the cutting table 4 is brought into contact with the sponge member 22. Then, The cutting table 4 is linearly moved further in the -Y direction so that the surface of the aggregate G4 is moved from the left side to the right side in Fig. 5B by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24 As shown in FIG. As a result, the chip or resin residue attached to the surface of the aggregate G4 is rubbed off along a direction different from the direction shown in Fig. 4 by 180 degrees. In other words, along the direction from the aggregate G4 toward the aggregate G1, the chip or resin residue attached to the surface of the aggregate G4 is rubbed off. The spraying of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is started.

5 (c), at the cleaning position S2, the cutting table 4 is further moved linearly in the -Y direction. The surfaces of the aggregates G3, G2 and G1 are sequentially rubbed along the direction from the aggregate G4 toward the aggregate G1 by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24. [ In parallel, cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 is sequentially started from the aggregate G4. The cutting chips or resin scraped off by the sponge member 22 are removed by the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ The cut substrates 9 stacked on the cutting table 4 are sequentially cleaned by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13 in the order of the aggregates G4, G3, G2 and G1 do. 5, a cutting chip or the like which can not be removed in the process shown in Fig. 4 (for example, the edge of the right upper end of the aggregate G4 in Fig. 4 The cutting chip attached to the upper left corner) can be removed.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 5 (d), the cutting table 4 is stopped at the stop position S3. The injection of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is stopped. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is raised and stopped at a predetermined position of the cleaning mechanism 10. [ The cutting table 4 is returned from the stop position S3 to the standby position S1. In the standby position S1, the cutting table 4 is rotated 180 degrees by using the rotating mechanism 6. [ As a result, the cut-off substrate 9 mounted on the cutting table 4 is arranged again in the order of the aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 from the position closer to the cleaning position S2. By this process, one reciprocating cleaning is completed. The cleaning may be completed by one reciprocating cleaning. The same cleaning may be repeated for a plurality of round trip times.

The surface of the cut substrate 9 is rubbed by the sponge member 22 including the cleansing water 24 to rub and remove chips or resin residue attached to the surface. The chip or the resin residue which has been rubbed and removed is removed by the cleaning with the jet cleaning mechanism 13. [ Further, the cutting table 4 is rotated 180 degrees and the assembly G4, G3, G2, and G1 are sequentially cleaned by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13 in this order. The cleaning of the cut-off substrate 9 is linearly cleaned along the two directions opposite to each other, so that the cutting chips and the resin scum or the like firmly attached to the periphery of the cut portion can be reliably removed. By performing such cleaning as one round trip or a plurality of round trip times, it is possible to bring the surfaces of the plurality of separated products P in a clean state without concomitant.

[Example 3]

A cutting apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 6A, aggregates G1, G2, G3, and G4 are arranged in order from the closest to the cleaning position S2 in the standby position S1, as in the second embodiment. First, the washing water 24 is supplied to the sponge member 22. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered to a predetermined position. The cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), the aggregate G1 at the left end of the cut-off substrate 9 loaded on the cutting table 4 is brought into contact with the sponge member 22. Then, The cutting table 4 is further linearly moved in the -Y direction so that the surface of the aggregate G1 is moved from the left side to the right side in Fig. 6B by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24 As shown in FIG. As a result, the chips or resin residue attached to the surface of the aggregate G1 are rubbed along the direction from the aggregate G1 toward the aggregate G4. Subsequently, the cleaning is performed in the order of the aggregates G2, G3, and G4 by the sponge member 22 including the washing water 24. In this case, the cleaning table 13 is not cleaned but the cutting table 4 is further moved in the -Y direction to stop at the stop position S3.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6C, the cutting table 4 is linearly moved from the stop position S3 to the cleaning position S2 in the + Y direction. In the cleaning position S2, cleaning is performed in the order of the aggregates G4, G3, G2 and G1 by the sponge member 22 including the cleaning water 24 without cleaning by the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ In other words, the cutting chips and resin residue attached to the surfaces of the aggregates G4, G3, G2 and G1 are shifted by 180 degrees from the direction shown in FIG. 6B (the direction from the aggregate G4 toward the aggregate G1 ).

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6 (d), the cutting table 4 is further moved in the + Y direction to stop at the waiting position S1. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is raised and stopped at a predetermined standby position above the position at which scrub cleaning is performed. By this process, one reciprocal cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is completed. The cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 may be completed by one reciprocating cleaning. The scrubbing by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 may be repeated for a plurality of reciprocating times.

7 (a), after the cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is completed, the cut substrate 9 is moved from the position close to the cleaning position S2 to the aggregates G1, G2, G3, G4 As shown in FIG. Subsequently, the cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2 while keeping the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 at the standby position above.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), the spraying of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is started. The cutting table 4 is linearly moved further in the -Y direction and cleaned in the order of the aggregates G1, G2, G3 and G4 by the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ The chip cleaned by the scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 is removed by the cleaning with the jet cleaning mechanism 13, and the resin chips and the like are removed. The cutting table 4 is further moved in the -Y direction to stop at the stop position S3.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 7C, the cutting table 4 is moved in the + Y direction from the stop position S3 toward the cleaning position S2. In the cleaning position S2, cleaning is performed in the order of the aggregates G4, G3, G2 and G1 by the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ By the cleaning with the jet cleaning mechanism 13, the chip or resin residue scraped off by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is removed.

Then, as shown in Fig. 7 (d), the cutting table 4 is moved in the + Y direction to stop at the waiting position S1. The injection of the washing water 26 by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is stopped. By this process, one reciprocal cleaning by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is completed. The cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 may be completed by one reciprocating cleaning. The same cleaning by the jet cleaning mechanism 13 may be repeated for a plurality of reciprocating times.

According to this embodiment, in the cutting apparatus 1, the cutting table 4 is moved from the standby position S1 to the stop position S3, whereby the scrubs 1, 2, 3, And the cutting completion substrate 9 is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 12. [ Subsequently, by moving the cutting table 4 from the stop position S3 to the standby position S1, the scrubbed cleaning mechanism 12 cleans the cut substrate 9 in the order of the aggregates G4, G3, G2, . The cleaning is performed by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 along the two directions opposite to each other by one reciprocation or a plurality of reciprocations. This makes it possible to reliably scrub and remove cutting chips and resin scraps that are firmly attached to the periphery of the cut portion. After the cleaning by the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is completed, the cleaning by the spray cleaning mechanism 13 is performed by one reciprocation or a plurality of reciprocations. The chip or resin residue rubbed and rubbed by the scrubbing mechanism 12 is removed by cleaning with the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [ By performing such cleaning, the surface of a plurality of separated products P can be brought into a clean state without con- tamination.

[Example 4]

A cutting apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. The difference from the first to third embodiments is that the two jet cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B are provided in the cleaning mechanism 10 so that a scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12) is installed. 8A, in the standby position S1, the cut-off substrate 9 mounted on the cutting table 4 is moved from the position close to the cleaning position S2 to the aggregates G1 and G2 , G3, and G4. First, the washing water 24 is supplied to the sponge member 22. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is lowered to a predetermined position. The cutting table 4 is moved in the -Y direction from the standby position S1 toward the cleaning position S2.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 8B, the washing water 26A, 26B is sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanisms 13A, 13B. The scrubbing mechanism 12, the jet cleaning mechanism 13B, and the jetting cleaning mechanism 13B, among the cut substrates 9 mounted on the cutting table 4, at the cleaning position S2, . The cutting table 4 is linearly moved in the -Y direction so that the aggregates G2, G3 and G4 are arranged in order by the jet cleaning mechanism 13A, the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13B, respectively . The cutting table 4 is further moved in the -Y direction to stop at the stop position S3.

Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 8 (c), the cutting table 4 is moved in the + Y direction from the stop position S3 to the cleaning position S2. 8B in the order of the spray cleaning mechanism 13B, the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the spray cleaning mechanism 13A at the cleaning position S2 along the direction different by 180 degrees from the direction shown in FIG. The aggregate G4 is washed. The cutting table 4 is linearly moved further in the + Y direction and the cutting cleaning mechanism 13B, the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13A are sequentially arranged in the direction shown in Fig. 8B G2, and G1 are sequentially cleaned along the directions different by 180 degrees from the aggregate G3, G2, and G1.

8 (d), the cutting table 4 is further moved in the + Y direction to stop at the waiting position S1. The injection of the washing water 26A, 26B by the spray cleaning mechanisms 13A, 13B is stopped. The scrub cleaning mechanism 12 is raised and stopped at a predetermined standby position above. By this process, one reciprocating cleaning is completed. The same cleaning may be repeated for a plurality of round trip times.

According to the present embodiment, in the cutting apparatus 1, two spray cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B are provided in the cleaning mechanism 10 and a scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 is provided therebetween. The cutting table 4 is linearly reciprocated from the standby position S1 to the stop position S3 and from the stop position S3 to the standby position S1, The cut-off substrate 9 is cleaned along two directions. Even when the liquid is linearly moved along either direction, the cut substrate 9 is cleaned in the order of the jet cleaning mechanism, the scrub cleaning mechanism, and the jet cleaning mechanism. Therefore, the cutting chips and the resin scum removed by rubbing by the scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12 can be removed by either one of the spray cleaning mechanisms 13A and 13B. By performing such cleaning, the surface of a plurality of separated products P can be brought into a clean state without concomitant.

In each embodiment, the speed at which the cutting table 4 is moved, the number of times the cutting table 4 is passed below the cleaning mechanism 10, the number of times the cutting table 4 is passed, It is possible to clean the cut substrate 9 by optimizing the flow rate of the washing water 24 supplied to the spray cleaning mechanism 22 and the flow rate of the washing water 26 sprayed from the spray cleaning mechanism 13. [

The longitudinal direction of the cutting board 9 is defined by the scrubbing mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13 provided in the cleaning mechanism 10, And the drying mechanism 14 are extended in the X direction. The scrubbing cleaning mechanism 12, the jet cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 are arranged in the width direction of the cutting table 4, in other words, the width direction of the cut- And may be arranged so as to be parallel to the extending direction (X direction) and cleaned.

In each of the embodiments, the case where the cut substrate 9 is cleaned along one or two directions by reciprocating the cutting table 9 has been shown. The present invention is not limited thereto and the cutting table 4 may be rotated by 90 degrees to clean the cut substrate 9 linearly along four mutually orthogonal directions. By performing such cleaning, the surface of a plurality of separated products P can be made in a more clean state without concommittion.

Further, in each of the embodiments, the case where the sputtering member 22 having a block shape is provided at the tip of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 to clean the cut substrate 9 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the scrubbed cleaning mechanism 12 may be provided on the roll-shaped sponge member 28 as shown in Fig. 2 (b) to clean the cut substrate 9.

In each of the embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 10 has been described as an example in which the scrub cleaning mechanism 12, the jet cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 are integrally provided. The present invention is not limited to this. First, the three components of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12, the spray cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 may be separately provided. In this case, it is preferable that the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the jet cleaning mechanism 13 are integrally moved. Second, two of the three components may be integrally provided, and the other components may be separately provided. In this case, it is preferable that the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 and the spray cleaning mechanism 13 are integrally provided.

In each of the embodiments, the lowering of the cleaning mechanism 10 is moved in the Y direction by the moving mechanism 5 in which the cutting table 4 is common and the moving mechanism 5 is moved in the Y direction with respect to the rotating mechanism 6 And rotated in the &thetas; direction. The present invention is not limited to this, and the cutting table 4 and the cleaning mechanism 10 need only be relatively movable. This relative movement is linear, and may be either a case of moving in one direction or a case of reciprocating. In the case where the relative movement is adopted in a linear configuration, it is rubbed by the sponge member 22 under the same conditions in all portions of the surface of the object to be cut. Therefore, this configuration exerts the effect that all portions of the surface of the object to be cut have a uniform surface to be cleaned and dried.

This relative movement is rotational (including less than one rotation), either in the case of moving in one direction or in the case of reciprocating. There is a possibility that the object to be cut is difficult to be cleaned in the vicinity of the center of rotation when the relative movement is adopted in a rotational configuration. As a countermeasure to this problem, a linear movement and a rotational movement may be combined as a relative movement.

The moving mechanism 5 as the first moving mechanism is provided with a second moving mechanism for moving the cutting table 4 and the cleaning mechanism 10 relative to each other (for example, the cleaning mechanism 10 ). Even when this configuration is adopted, the aggregates can be collectively washed or dried in the same manner as the configuration in which the first moving mechanism and the second moving mechanism described in the respective embodiments are used as the common moving mechanism 5.

The present invention is not limited to this, and the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 may be provided with a rotating shaft, and the driving mechanism may rotate the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 around the rotating shaft. As a result, the sponge members 22 and 28 can move forward and backward with respect to the cut-off substrate 9. Specifically, the sponge members 22 and 28 can approach and come into contact with the cut-off substrate 9, and can be moved away from the cut-off substrate 9.

In each of the embodiments, the example in which the washing water 24 is supplied to the upper portion of the sponge members 22, 28 from the washing water supply passage 25 has been described. The cleaning water 24 may be supplied from the side of the sponge members 22 and 28 to the sponge members 22 and 28. [ In this case, it is preferable that a supply mechanism for the washing water 24 extending along the X direction in FIG. 2 is provided and the washing water 24 is supplied to the lower portion of the sponge members 22 and 28 from the supplying mechanism desirable. Secondly, from the side of the sponge members 22, 28, the cut-off substrate 9 (in the vicinity of the portion where the sponge members 22, 28 and the surface of the cut- The cleaning water 24 may be supplied to the surface of the wafer W. The cleaning water 24 is supplied directly to the sponge members 22 and 28 from the supply mechanism or the cleaning water 24 reflected on the surface of the cut substrate 9 ) Are supplied directly. In all the cases including each embodiment, the sponge members 22, 28 including the directly supplied cleaning water 24 come into contact with the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, the surface of the cut-off substrate 9 is effectively cleaned by the washing water 24 pushed out from the sponge members 22, 28.

Further, in each of the embodiments, there is shown a case where the sealed substrate 1 including chip-shaped elements is cut as a workpiece to be cut. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to a case where a subsequent object to be cut is cut into individual pieces to be cut other than the sealed substrate 1. First, a semiconductor wafer in which functional elements such as silicon, a circuit element made of a compound semiconductor, and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are made is disassembled. Secondly, there is a case where products such as a chip resistor, a chip capacitor, a chip type sensor, and a surface acoustic wave device are manufactured by disassembling a ceramics substrate or a glass substrate on which functional elements such as a resistor, a capacitor, a sensor and a surface acoustic wave device are formed. In these two cases, a semiconductor wafer, a ceramics substrate, or the like corresponds to a substrate in which a functional element corresponding to each of a plurality of regions is formed. Third, there is a case where an optical component such as a lens, an optical module, and a light guide plate is manufactured by disengaging the resin molded article. Fourth, there is a case where a resin molded article is divided into a general molded product. Fifth, the case of manufacturing a glass plate used as a cover of various electronic apparatuses. In the various cases including the above-mentioned five cases, the contents described above can be applied.

Each of the scrub cleaning mechanism 12 (particularly, the sponge member 22), the spray cleaning mechanism 13, and the drying mechanism 14 is provided with a plurality of It is preferable to have a length that includes the area in the width direction (that is, the diameter direction) of the aggregate made of the products P and collects the aggregates in a range of not less than the area and cleans or dries them collectively.
