According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an ingot support structure, comprising: an ingot support member for supporting the ingot; a wire for cutting the ingot located at a lower portion of the ingot support member; and a plurality of guide grooves formed in a cylindrical shape, And a wire saw device including a support protrusion for supporting the wire, the wire protector being formed in a shape of an isosceles trapezoid in cross section between the plurality of guide grooves.
Description
The present invention relates to a wire saw apparatus for producing a wafer by cutting a single crystal silicon ingot.
A wafer widely used as a material for manufacturing semiconductor devices refers to a single crystal silicon thin plate. These wafers are prepared by cutting a single crystal silicon ingot, cleaning a plurality of cut wafers, separating the wafers into sheets, and then performing a post-cleaning process.
Monocrystalline silicon ingots are generally grown and manufactured according to the Czochralski method. This method is a method of melting monocrystalline silicon in a crucible in a chamber, immersing a single crystal seed crystal into molten silicon, gradually growing it, and growing it into a silicon single crystal ingot of a desired diameter.
After the growth of the ingot is completed, a slicing process for cutting the ingot into wafer units is performed. In this slicing step, there is a wire saw method in which a wire is run at a high speed and a slurry solution is sprayed thereon to cut the slurry by the friction between the slurry and the ingot.
In the conventional wire saw apparatus, the guide wire is wound around a plurality of grooved guide rollers before use. However, this method has the following problems.
Generally, the shape between the groove and the groove is formed in a triangular shape to prevent the wire from being separated from the groove, but a part of the upper end of the triangular projection between the groove and the groove can be separated as the process progresses. Some of the protruding protrusions may be buried on the surface of the wafer, causing damage to the wafer. In addition, when a large part of the projections are damaged, the wire is repelled outwardly and causes a process failure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to provide a wire saw apparatus capable of improving efficiency in a wafer cutting process in order to solve the above-described problems.
