Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cutting method and a wire for cutting a workpiece of a plurality of wafers from a workpiece (for example, a second ingot, a crystal ingot of a compound semiconductor, or the like). [Prior Art] Conventionally, as a means for cutting out the crystal 10® from a quartz crystal rod or a crystal ingot of a compound semiconductor, a wire miscellaneous material is known. In this line, the steel wire for cutting is wound around a plurality of rolls many times to form a steel wire row, and the steel wire for cutting is driven at a high speed in the axial direction, and the steel is supplied to the steel while appropriately supplying the liquid. The wire 歹 J cuts into the feed workpiece, whereby each of the guard members can be simultaneously cut at the position of each steel wire (refer to Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-262826). More specifically, in a portion of the side surface of the workpiece, the resisting plate is adhered to approximately the entire area of the axial direction of the member, and the workpiece plate for holding the resisting plate is held by the workpiece holding portion of the workpiece feeding mechanism. In this state, the entire workpiece is cut into the feed, and the steel wire for cutting is cut in from the opposite side of the abutting plate. In this case, the direction in which the workpiece is pressed against the steel wire row is known, and a method of pressing the workpiece from the upper side to the steel wire column and a process of pressing the semiconductor core bar from the lower side are known. A method of pushing the workpiece from the top to the steel line. Here, in Fig. 4, an outline of an example of a conventional general line mine is shown. As shown in Fig. 4, this line is ι〇1, mainly by the steel wire 102 for cutting the workpiece W, the grooved roller 1〇3 wound with the steel wire 102, and the tension of the steel wire 102 for 201016416. The tension applying mechanism 1〇4, the feeding (feeding) mechanism 1〇5 for feeding the workpiece W to be cut downward, and the slurry supply mechanism 106 for supplying the slurry at the time of cutting constitute the "steel line 102' from one The side of the wire shaft (wjre reei) 1 〇7 is sent out, via the traverser 108, and then through the powder clutch ((p〇wder clutch) torque motor 1〇9) or the drum up and down (static weight) The tension applying mechanism 组成4 composed of (dead weight) (not shown) enters the grooved roller 103. The steel wire 1 〇 2 is wound around the grooved roller 1 〇 3 about 3 〇〇 to 400 times, and then passes through the tension applying mechanism 丨〇 4 on the other side, and is wound on the wire reel 107'. Further, the grooved roller 103 is a roller which presses a polyurethane resin around a steel cylinder and cuts a groove at a certain pitch on the surface thereof, and the wound steel wire 102' can be driven by a motor. 110, being pulsating at a predetermined cycle and moving in a reciprocating direction. Further, when the workpiece w is cut, the workpiece W is pressed while being held while being held by the workpiece feeding mechanism 105 shown in Fig. 5, and is fed to the steel wire 102 that has been wound around the grooved roller 103. Give (push). The workpiece feeding mechanism 105' is provided with a workpiece holding portion 丨丨i for holding the workpiece, and a linear guide 112 for feeding the workpiece downward and a workpiece feeding body portion 113, and the workpiece is fed by computer control. The main body portion 3 is driven along the linear guide 丄i 2 , whereby the workpiece W held by the workpiece holding portion 111 can be pushed at a pre-programmed feed speed. Further, the workpiece W is adhered to the resisting plate 114, and this resisting plate 114 is held by the workpiece plate 115. Further, the workpiece W is held by the workpiece holding portion i by the resisting plate 114 and the workpiece 4 201016416, and in the example of the workpiece feeding mechanism 1A5 of Fig. 5, the width of the plate u4 is formed. The width of the workpiece plate 115 is narrower than that of the workpiece plate 115. However, a wire mine is known, and the purpose is to prevent the side edge portion of the workpiece plate 115 from protruding outward from the side surface of the platen 14 by increasing the width of the plate 114. The slurry which is bounced back by the bottom surface of the side portion of the workpiece plate 115 collides with the wafer being cut and the wafer is broken. (refer to Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 11-235653). However, if the width of the resisting plate 114 is greatly increased, the adhesion area between the workpiece ψ and the resisting plate 114 becomes large, and the peeling of the wafer and the resisting plate 114 after the workpiece is cut becomes difficult. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, a nozzle 117 is provided in the vicinity of the grooved roller 1〇3 and the wound steel wire 102, and the slurry can be supplied from the slurry tank ι18 to the steel wire 102 at the time of cutting. Further, a slurry tank 118 can be coupled to the slurry cooler 116 to adjust the temperature of the supplied slurry. With such a wire saw 101, the steel wire tension applying mechanism 1〇4, ® is given an appropriate tension to the steel wire 102, and the steel wire 102 is moved in the reciprocating direction by the driving motor 110. The mechanism is sliced by feeding the workpiece 1〇5 into the feed. However, when the workpiece was cut into a wafer shape by the above-described general wire saw, and then the shape of the cut wafer was examined, it was found that large warpage occurred. One of the important quality considerations in the warpage of warpage semiconductor wafers is that as the quality requirements of the products are increased, there is a lower demand. 5 201016416 [Description of the Invention] ^ The person in charge of this month has inspected the shape of the wafer after cutting in detail. * Especially in the latter half of the cutting, the warpage is remarkably deteriorated. In order to investigate the cause of the deterioration of the charm, the state of the workpiece being cut is observed. The supply of the slurry to the workpiece cutting portion is to wash the liquid from the upper side of the steel line, and the steel wire is caught in the axial direction. Thereby, the supply is performed to the side position of the workpiece. At this time, it is known that the slurry adhering to the steel wire and transported to the vicinity of the cut portion of the workpiece almost collides with the side of the workpiece and enters the side of the workpiece and scatters toward the outside of the workpiece. Here, for example, when the workpiece is a cylindrical shape such as a semiconductor dream crystal rod, when the portion after the center of the workpiece is cut, the slurry is scattered above the guard. In particular, in the second half of the cutting, it is known that the distance between the cutting portion and the workpiece holding portion becomes small, and the slurry that has been scattered from the workpiece will bounce back on the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion, and the guard member and the member will be violently The steel wire fell. In other words, it is known from the open disc that the reason why the distortion is remarkably deteriorated in the latter part is that the slurry which is scattered by the side surface of the workpiece is bounced back on the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion, and the member is violently defended. Under the steel material, the workpiece is cut into a wafer-like portion, and the steel wire or the like is shaken. The present invention has been developed in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a workpiece (four) breaking method and secret. In the latter half, the liquid collected from the workpiece rebounds at the lower end surface of the guard holding portion and is intensely The case where the workpiece and the steel wire are dropped can be suppressed, and as a result, the warpage of the cut wafer can be improved. In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a 201016416 cutting method for a workpiece is provided in which a steel wire wound on a plurality of grooved grooves is reciprocated in the axial direction and the plate is adhered to be cut. The workpiece is held by the workpiece holding portion via the workpiece holding portion, and the workpiece is held by the workpiece holding portion, and the slurry is supplied from the nozzle to the steel wire while being relatively pressed by the workpiece holding portion. The method of cutting the workpiece into a wafer shape by pressing the workpiece into a wafer shape by reciprocating the steel wire, wherein the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the workpiece are The distance between the upper ends is set to 40 min or more to cut off the aforementioned workpiece. When the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is 40 mm or more to cut the workpiece, the slurry which is scattered from the workpiece is held in the workpiece, particularly in the second half of the cutting. The lower end of the part bounces back, and the situation of drastically dropping the workpiece and the steel wire can be suppressed. "The result" can improve the warpage of the cut wafer. In this case, the width (width) of the abutting plate is preferably 1/2 or less of the diameter of the workpiece. When the width of the abutting plate is ι/2 or less of the diameter of the workpiece, the adhesion between the workpiece and the resisting plate can be reduced, and the peeling of the wafer and the resisting plate after the workpiece is cut can be easily performed. Without breaking the wafer. Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a wire saw comprising at least a steel wire wound around a plurality of grooved drums and reciprocating in an axial direction, and a nozzle for supplying a slurry to the steel wire And a workpiece feeding mechanism that passes the workpiece adhered to the workpiece to be cut and the workpiece plate for holding the sheet, while holding the workpiece while the workpiece is relatively facing the next steel 201016416 Line feed; and - 噙~# while feeding the slurry from the nozzle to the front: the steel line '- while the aforementioned work pressure held by the workpiece feed mechanism is pressed against the aforementioned steel wire for reciprocating travel Feeding the wire saw with the workpiece cut into a wafer shape, characterized in that: the workpiece feeding mechanism has a "part guarantee (4), and the front holding member is passed through the front (four) plate and the front plate (4) the aforementioned workpiece; the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is 40 mm or more. Thus, the workpiece feeding mechanism has the workpiece holding portion and is held by the workpiece unit The distance between the lower end surface of the guard holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece, and the distance between the lower end of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece via the abutting plate and the guard plate, is the slurry that is scattered from the workpiece. When the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion is springed back and the workpiece and the steel wire are drastically dropped, it can be suppressed. As a result, the warpage of the round can be corrected. In this case, the width of the abutting plate is preferably the aforementioned. In this case, if the width of the abutting plate is less than 1/2 of the diameter of the workpiece, the adhesion between the workpiece and the plate can be reduced, and the wafer and the plate can be peeled off after the workpiece is cut. The wire saw of the present invention cuts off the workpiece by setting the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece to 40 fflm or more, so that the wire saw is scattered from the workpiece. When the slurry 'bounces back on the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and is drastically dropped toward the workpiece and the steel wire, it can be suppressed. As a result, 8 201016416 can improve the tortuosity of the cut wafer. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. Note: When a workpiece is cut into a wafer using a conventional wire saw, the cut crystal is investigated. In the shape of a circle, large warpage is generated. One of the important quality considerations in the cutting of the warpage semiconductor wafer is expected to be further lowered as the quality requirements of the product are improved. In order to solve such a problem, when the shape of the wafer after the cutting was examined in detail, it was found that the warpage was remarkably deteriorated particularly in the second half of the cutting of the workpiece. The results of the investigation and review were clearly known. : The reason why the lightness of the second half of the workpiece is significantly deteriorated is that the liquid that has smashed against the side surface of the workpiece bounces back at the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion, and is drastically dropped toward the workpiece and the steel wire. The workpiece is cut and the wafer-shaped portion and the steel wire are shaken. Further, it is conceivable that if the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is increased to cut the workpiece, the deterioration of the curve in the second half of the cutting can be suppressed, and the guard (4) (4) The present invention was completed by experimenting with an optimum distance between the lower end surface and the upper end of the workpiece & Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing an example of a wire saw of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the wire saw 1 of the present invention is mainly composed of a steel wire 2 for cutting the member W, a grooved roller 3 for winding the steel wire 2, and a tension for applying the 201016416 steel wire 2 The steel wire tension applying mechanism 4, the workpiece feeding mechanism 5 that feeds the workpiece w to be cut downward, and the slurry supply mechanism 6 that supplies the liquid at the time of cutting are composed of the steel wire 2' from one side. The wire reel 7 is fed out, passes through the transfer table 8, and passes through the wire tension applying mechanism 4 composed of a powder clutch (fixed torque motor 9) or a vertical bounce roller (dead weight) (not shown). 'Enter the grooved roller 3. The steel wire 2 is formed by winding the grooved roller 3 about 300 to 400 times to form a steel wire train. The steel wire 2 is wound around the wire reel 7 through the wire tension applying mechanism 4' on the other side. In the second circle, 'an example of a workpiece feeding mechanism that can be used in the wire saw of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the workpiece W is adhered to the resisting plate 14, and the resisting plate 14 is held by being adhered to the workpiece plate 15 or the jig. Further, the workpiece W is held by the workpiece holding portion 11 via the resist plate 14 and the workpiece plate 15. Further, the width (width) of the workpiece plate 15 is substantially the same as the width of the abutting plate 14. When the width of the workpiece plate 15 is substantially the same as the width of the abutting plate 14, the slurry which is scattered from the workpiece W can be prevented from being bounced on the lower end surface of the workpiece plate 15 while maintaining the holding force of the workpiece plate 15 and the resisting plate 14. The workpiece W and the steel wire 2 are dropped back.

Further, the workpiece feeding mechanism 5 presses the workpiece w downward until the steel wire reaches the resisting plate 14, and the workpiece W is pressed against the steel wire 2 to perform the cutting feed. Further, after the cutting of the workpiece is completed, the workpiece W whose cutting is completed is pulled out from the steel wire row by the pushing direction of the reverse member. Here, in the example of the workpiece feeding mechanism 5 shown in Fig. 2, the workpiece W is pressed downward to perform the plunging feed, but in the present invention, the feeding (feeding) of the workpiece is performed by Press it down relatively. In other words, it is possible to prevent the workpiece w from being fed downward by pushing the steel wire to the upper side to feed the workpiece w. Further, the grooved roller 3 is a roller obtained by pressing a polyurethane resin around a steel cylinder and cutting a groove at a constant pitch on the surface thereof, as shown in Fig. 1, the wound steel The wire 2 can be driven in the reciprocating direction by being driven by the driving motor 1 (moving), and when the workpiece is cut, the steel wire 2 can be appropriately tensioned by the wire tension applying mechanism 4. Further, the nozzle 17 is disposed above the steel wire 2, and the steel wire 2 is wound around the grooved roller 3, and reciprocates in the axial direction at the time of cutting; when the workpiece W is cut 'The slurry can be supplied to the steel wire 2. Here, the means for supplying the slurry to the grooved drum 3 (steel wire 2) is described. The slurry supply means 6 is from the slurry tank. 18, via a slurry cooler 16, connected to the nozzle 17; the slurry to be supplied by 201016416 is controlled to supply temperature by the slurry cooler 16, and then supplied from the nozzle 17 to the grooved drum 3 (steel wire 2) However, the composition is not limited to this, for example, it can also constitute another heat In addition, the type of the slurry to be used is not particularly limited, and the slurry which is the same as the conventional one can be formed by, for example, grinding GC (carbon cut) into liquid Zhao. As shown in Fig. 2, the distance H between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 11 and the upper end of the workpiece W is adjusted to 40 mm or more. Here, the workpiece holding portion The adjustment of the distance Η between the lower end surface of the u and the upper end of the workpiece w can be performed, for example, by adjusting the thickness of the workpiece plate 15. Thus, in the wire saw 1, if the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 与 and the workpiece w When the distance Η between the upper ends is 40 mm or more, the slurry which has been scattered from the workpiece rebounds on the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 11 in the φ half after the cutting, and the workpiece w and the steel wire 2 are drastically dropped. In this case, it is possible to suppress the warpage of the cut wafer. As a result, the width (width) of the resisting plate 14 is preferably 1/2 or less of the diameter of the workpiece w. In order to suppress the slurry which is scattered on the side of the workpiece w The influence of the width of the abutting plate 14 is set to be equal to or greater than the diameter of the workpiece. As shown in the conventional method, if the width of the abutting plate 14 is 1 /2 or more of the diameter of the workpiece, It is possible to suppress the slurry which is bounced from the workpiece holding plate 11 and the workpiece 12 and the 161641616 holding portion 11 to the workpiece w, but the adhesion area between the workpiece W and the abutting plate 14 becomes large, and the wafer and the plate after the workpiece is cut off The peeling of 14 becomes difficult, and there is a possibility of damaging the wafer. However, according to the present invention, the width of the resisting plate 14 is 1/2 or less of the diameter of the workpiece w. The minimum width of the workpiece W can be safely suspended to reduce the adhesion area of the workpiece W and the resisting plate 14 and the peeling of the wafer and the resisting plate 14 after the workpiece is cut can be easily performed without the wafer The damage is made, and the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion u and the upper end of the workpiece is set to 40 mm, whereby the liquid which bounces off from the workpiece plate 15 and the workpiece holding portion η and the like can be suppressed from falling to the workpiece Jia. Case. Next, the cutting method of the workpiece according to the present invention will be described. Here, a cutting method for using the wire saw 1 and the workpiece feeding mechanism 5 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 2, the resisting plate 14 is adhered to the workpiece w, and the resisting plate 14 is held by the workpiece plate 15, and through the resisting plate, the workpiece plate 15' and by the workpiece holding portion 11 To keep the workpiece w. At this time, the distance Η between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 11 and the upper end of the workpiece w is adjusted to 40 mm or more. The adjustment of the distance Η between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 丨1 and the upper end of the workpiece w can be performed, for example, by adjusting the thickness of the workpiece plate 15. Alternatively, the thickness of the plate 14 can be adjusted. Further, 'the steel wire 2 is tensioned and made to reciprocate in the axial direction 13 201016416, and the slurry is supplied to the steel wire 2 by the slurry supply mechanism 6, in this state, the linear guide along the workpiece feeding mechanism 5 12, and the workpiece holding portion u is driven by the workpiece feeding body portion 13, and the workpiece w is lowered, whereby the workpiece W is cut into the feed line to cut the workpiece with respect to the steel line row, so that the workpiece holding portion is made When the distance Η between the lower end surface of the U and the upper end of the workpiece w is 40 mm or more, the workpiece w is cut, and the slurry which is scattered from the workpiece W in the second half of the cutting is at the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion 11. When it bounces back and violently falls to the workpiece w and the steel wire 2, it can be suppressed. As a result, the warpage of the cut wafer can be improved. Here, the workpiece feeding mechanism of the jigsaw shown in FIG. 2 performs the cutting feed in such a manner that the workpiece is fed downward, but the cutting method of the workpiece according to the present invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the feeding (feeding) of the workpiece may be performed by relatively pressing down. That is, the workpiece W may be fed without pushing the workpiece W downward, but by pushing the steel wire upward. Here, the magnitude of the tension applied to the steel wire 2, the traveling speed of the steel wire 2, and the like can be appropriately set. For example, the traveling speed of the steel wire can be set to 4 〜 to 800 m/min. Further, with respect to the steel wire row, the cutting feed speed at the time of the cutting feed can be set to 0.2 to 0.4 mm/min. These conditions are not limited. Further, the term "herein" is not particularly limited, and the steel wire inversion cycle when the steel wire 2 is reciprocated during the cutting of the workpiece can be set, for example, to 6 〇s. Further, as the slurry supplied to the steel wire 2 at the time of cutting, for example, a 201016416 type of slurry obtained by mixing GC#1000 with a coolant, a houseman, a top, and a t Can be set to 50: 50. In addition, the temperature of the slabs can be set to 15 〇 c 〜 3 (rc. So the 'cutting and splicing of the workpiece W' can be continued 饤' when the steel line reaches the upper plate of the workpiece w When the 拄B _ L of 14 is completed, that is, when the workpiece W is cut, the workpiece W can be reversal by reversing the workpiece. In this case, it is preferable to set the width of the abutting plate 14 to 1/2 or less of the diameter of the workpiece|. Thus, if the width of the abutting plate 14 is 1/2 of the diameter of the workpiece Jia. Hereinafter, the adhesion area between the workpiece W and the resisting plate 14 can be reduced, and the peeling of the wafer and the resisting plate 14 after the workpiece W is cut can be easily performed without causing damage to the wafer. As described above, the present invention The wire saw is used to cut the workpiece in such a manner that the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is 40 mm or more. Therefore, the slurry which is scattered from the workpiece is at the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion. The case of bounce back 'and drastically drop to the workpiece and the steel wire' can be suppressed. As a result, the cut wafer can be improved. The present invention will be described more specifically by the following examples and comparative examples of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. (Example) Using the wire ore of the present invention shown in Fig. 1 According to the cutting method of the present invention, a twin rod having a diameter of 300 mm and an axial length of 300 mm is cut into a wafer shape by using the cutting method of the present invention. The workpiece shown in Fig. 2 is used to feed the mechanism into the 15 201016416, and The distance H' between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is changed between 4 〇 1 〇〇 1 mm by changing the thickness of the workpiece plate, and then the warpage of the cut wafer after each case is compared. In the case of the curve, the width of the workpiece plate is set to 1 mm, and the width of the plate is set to 9 mm. The result is shown in Fig. 3. [Table 1]

As described above, the cutting method and the line # of the workpiece according to the present invention can suppress the slurry which has been scattered from the workpiece and bounce back on the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion, and the workpiece and the steel wire are drastically dropped. Can improve the warpage of the 16 201016416 cut wafer. (Comparative Example) The distance (7) (4), 2 mm, and 30 mm m between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece was used in the same manner as in the embodiment except that the conventional wire misalignment shown in Fig. 4 was used. The condition is that the stone slab is cut into a wafer shape' and then the warpage of the cut wafer is compared.

As shown in the third circle, if the distance between the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and the upper end of the workpiece is larger, the effect of the improvement of the interesting music is more remarkable, especially when the two are separated by 30 mm to 5 The most significant difference. When the distance Η becomes 50 mm or more, the amount of warpage improvement is gradually changed to j $ because the slurry scattered from the side of the guard member hardly falls to the lower end surface of the workpiece holding portion and falls to the guard member and the steel wire. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 3, the warpage in the comparative example deteriorated as compared with the results of the examples.
