Abstract

The purpose of a scribe processing system of this invention is to avoid from using a rotary blade which possibly causes the product failure during scribing. The scribe processing system is a system which performs scribing by contacting rotary blades installed on the top and the bottom to a brittle material substrate, while moving them relatively at the same time; in addition, the system comprises: a component for decoding the management ID number of the rotary blades from the code printed on a blade holder; a component for keeping the blade parameter value for furnishing the operation configuration of the rotary blades during scribing with characteristics; and a component for keeping a process formulation data recorded with a replacement recommendation value associated to the blade parameter and the scribe processing content. The blade parameter of the rotary blade at the lower side is multiplied by a weight coefficient k and kept in the use history data. When a rotary blade with its code read is used to perform the scribe processing according to a process formulation data selected by an input component, in a situation where the blade parameter has exceeded the replacement recommendation value, it is reported that the rotary blade is in a replacement-recommended state.

Description

劃線處理系統 Line processing system

本發明係關於一種用於脆性材料基板之切斷的劃線處理系統,尤其關於劃線處理系統中使用之旋轉刀片的管理。 The present invention relates to a scribing system for the cutting of a substrate of a brittle material, and more particularly to the management of a rotating blade used in a scribing system.

作為用於切斷玻璃基板等脆性材料基板(以下亦簡稱為基板)之裝置,劃線裝置廣為人知(參照例如專利文獻1、專利文獻2及專利文獻3)。劃線裝置係例如在製造液晶顯示面板或液晶投影機基板等平板顯示器(FPD,Flat Panel Display)的工藝中,用於將由2塊母玻璃基板貼合而成之貼合基板切斷成特定大小的步驟等中。 A scribing device is widely known as a device for cutting a brittle material substrate (hereinafter also referred to as a substrate) such as a glass substrate (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). The scribing device is used to cut a bonded substrate formed by bonding two mother glass substrates into a specific size, for example, in a process of manufacturing a flat panel display (FPD) such as a liquid crystal display panel or a liquid crystal projector substrate. Steps, etc.

概言之,劃線裝置係藉由使外周端部成為V字型刀尖之圓盤狀的工具即旋轉刀片(劃線輪、或者亦可簡稱為刀片)沿著基板表面上預先決定的預切斷線壓接轉動而進行劃線,且使裂縫擴展的裝置。再者,既存在僅利用上述劃線來切斷基板之情形,亦存在藉由在斷裂(break)步驟中對已被劃線之基板賦予應力來切斷基板之情形。 In general, the scribing device is a predetermined pre-determined pre-determined path along the surface of the substrate by a rotating blade (a scribing wheel or a blade) which is a disc-shaped tool having a V-shaped blade tip at the outer peripheral end. A device in which the cutting line is crimped and rotated to perform scribing and to expand the crack. Further, there is a case where the substrate is cut by only the above-described scribe line, and there is a case where the substrate is cut by applying stress to the substrate which has been scribed in the break step.

再者,作為劃線裝置,已知有多種構成的劃線裝置,可根據用途而選擇使用適當的構成。例如,存在如專利文獻1及專利文獻2中揭示之僅對脆性材料基板之單面進行劃線的構成的劃線裝置、或如專利文獻3中揭示之可同時對脆性材料基板之雙面進行劃線的構成的劃線裝置。再者,專利文獻1及專利文獻2中揭示之劃線裝置具有可使脆性材料基板在水平面內旋轉的構成,與此相對,專利文獻3中揭示之劃線裝置僅能沿一方向搬送脆性材料基板。 Further, as the scribing device, a scribing device having a plurality of configurations is known, and an appropriate configuration can be selected and used depending on the application. For example, there is a scribing device having a configuration in which only one side of a brittle material substrate is scribed as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, or both sides of a brittle material substrate can be simultaneously simultaneously disclosed as disclosed in Patent Document 3. A scribing device constructed of scribing. In addition, the scribing device disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which a brittle material substrate can be rotated in a horizontal plane. On the other hand, the scribing device disclosed in Patent Document 3 can transport a brittle material only in one direction. Substrate.

於製造FPD之工廠等中,多數情況下係在同一設施內使複數個劃線裝置同時並行地運轉,使各個劃線裝置將不同材質或品種的基板切斷。通常,當切斷基板時,根據成為對象之基板的材質或切斷方式而選擇使用不同種類的旋轉刀片,因此,在上述設施內,會產生同時並行地使用複數種旋轉刀片的狀況。於如上文所述之情形時,必需對各個劃線裝置正確地安裝應使用的旋轉刀片。 In a factory where an FPD is manufactured, in many cases, a plurality of scribing devices are simultaneously operated in parallel in the same facility, and each scribing device cuts substrates of different materials or varieties. In general, when the substrate is cut, different types of rotary blades are selected depending on the material of the target substrate or the cutting method. Therefore, in the above-described facility, a plurality of types of rotary blades are used in parallel. In the case as described above, it is necessary to correctly mount the rotary blade to be used for each scribing device.

而且,旋轉刀片之刀尖雖然係由金剛石等硬質材料構成,但其是隨著使用會產生磨耗的消耗品,於達到使用壽命之前必需在合適的時機進行更換。然而,旋轉刀片係整體之直徑至多為數毫米左右的微小的構件,而難以用肉眼判別刀尖的狀態。而且,亦不容易將其型式或批號等標印於側面以對各個旋轉刀片加以區分甚至管理。因此,先前,根據實際切斷後所得之產物來判斷劃線品質,且判斷旋轉刀片是否到達使用壽命(使用極限)。然而,於上述形態中,當出現產品不良(劃線不良)之後才開始更換旋轉刀片,因此,於產品良率之提高方面存在極限。 Further, although the tip of the rotary blade is made of a hard material such as diamond, it is a consumable that causes wear due to use, and must be replaced at an appropriate timing before reaching the service life. However, the rotary blade is a minute member having a diameter of at most several millimeters, and it is difficult to visually recognize the state of the blade edge. Moreover, it is not easy to mark its type or lot number on the side to distinguish or even manage each rotary blade. Therefore, previously, the quality of the scribing was judged based on the product obtained after the actual cutting, and it was judged whether or not the rotating blade reached the service life (use limit). However, in the above embodiment, the replacement of the rotary blade is started after the occurrence of a defective product (defective scribe line), and therefore there is a limit in the improvement of the yield of the product.

於專利文獻1及專利文獻2中,揭示有如下技術:使旋轉刀片與刀片保持具一體化,在必需更換旋轉刀片之情形時與刀片保持具一起更換,藉此提高了旋轉刀片的操作性,並且藉由將旋轉刀片之種類或用於消除旋轉刀片之安裝誤差的初始設定用之資料等,以條形碼或二 維碼之形式標印於刀片保持具上,來實現旋轉刀片之管理性的提高與伴隨更換而進行之初始處理的效率化。 Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a technique of integrating a rotary blade with a blade holder and replacing it with a blade holder when it is necessary to replace the rotary blade, thereby improving the operability of the rotary blade. And by using the type of the rotating blade or the information for eliminating the initial setting of the mounting error of the rotating blade, etc., by bar code or two The form of the dimension code is stamped on the blade holder to improve the manageability of the rotary blade and the efficiency of the initial processing with replacement.

於專利文獻2中亦進而揭示有如下形態:針對每一刀片保持具賦予管理編號,並且準備記錄‧更新該管理編號、及與該刀片保持具一體化之旋轉刀片的移行距離的管理平台,於即將用於劃線之旋轉刀片的移行距離超過特定值之情形時,判斷必需更換旋轉刀片。 Patent Document 2 further discloses a management platform that assigns a management number to each blade holder and prepares to record and update the management number and the travel distance of the rotary blade integrated with the blade holder. When the moving distance of the rotating blade to be used for scribing exceeds a certain value, it is judged that the rotating blade must be replaced.

然而,於專利文獻1及專利文獻2揭示之形態中,雖然可對各個旋轉刀片加以區分,但無法禁止執行誤用本來不應該使用之旋轉刀片或已到達使用壽命之旋轉刀片的劃線。 However, in the form disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is possible to distinguish between the respective rotary blades, but it is not possible to prohibit the execution of the scribe line of the rotary blade that should not be used originally or the rotary blade that has reached the service life.

而且,旋轉刀片之使用壽命並非僅僅由移行距離規定,其亦會根據旋轉刀片之使用形態即脆性材料的切斷方式而有所不同。 Moreover, the service life of the rotary blade is not limited only by the travel distance, but also depending on the form of use of the rotary blade, that is, the cutting method of the brittle material.

本發明係鑒於上述課題而完成,其目的在於提供一種可更確實地避免使用可能會引起產品不良之旋轉刀片的劃線處理系統。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a scribing processing system which can more reliably avoid the use of a rotary blade which may cause a product defect.

<第1實施形態> <First embodiment> <旋轉刀片及其周邊構成> <Rotating blade and its surrounding structure>

首先,於本發明之第1實施形態中,對劃線裝置中所使用之旋轉刀片(亦簡稱刀片)、作為其保持具的刀片保持具、及作為劃線裝置中之刀片保持具的安裝端的保持具接頭進行說明。圖1係保持有旋轉刀片1之狀態下的刀片保持具10的立體圖,圖2係表示安裝有旋轉刀片1之狀況的刀片保持具10的側視圖。圖3係安裝有刀片保持具10之狀態下的保持具接頭20的側剖視圖。 First, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a rotary blade (also referred to as a blade) used in a scribing device, a blade holder as a holder thereof, and a mounting end of a blade holder in a scribing device are used. Hold the connector for instructions. 1 is a perspective view of the blade holder 10 in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is held, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the blade holder 10 in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is mounted. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the holder joint 20 in a state in which the blade holder 10 is mounted.

旋轉刀片1係外周端部成為V字型之刃部2的圓盤狀工具,且於中心具有貫通孔3。旋轉刀片1中,至少其刃部2之部分係由金剛石等硬質材料所構成。旋轉刀片1係以保持於刀片保持具10上的狀態安裝於下述劃線裝置上,用於劃線處理。作為旋轉刀片1,通常係使用具有1.0mm~6.0mm左右之外徑(輪徑)、及0.4mm~1.1mm左右之厚度的旋轉刀片。 The rotary blade 1 has a disk-shaped tool whose outer peripheral end portion is a V-shaped blade portion 2, and has a through hole 3 at the center. In the rotary blade 1, at least a portion of the blade portion 2 is made of a hard material such as diamond. The rotary blade 1 is attached to a scribing device in a state of being held by the blade holder 10 for scribing. As the rotary blade 1, a rotary blade having an outer diameter (wheel diameter) of about 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm and a thickness of about 0.4 mm to 1.1 mm is usually used.

刀片保持具10係保持旋轉刀片1之大致圓筒形的構件。刀片保持具10中,於其長度方向之一端部,具有與該長度方向平行地設置的大致正方形狀的平坦部11a、11b。另一方面,長度方向之另一端部成為用於將刀片保持具10安裝在劃線裝置上的安裝部16。而且,刀片保持具10中,至少安裝部16附近係由磁性體金屬所構成。 The blade holder 10 is a substantially cylindrical member that holds the rotary blade 1. In the blade holder 10, at one end portion in the longitudinal direction, there are substantially flat flat portions 11a and 11b which are provided in parallel with the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, the other end portion in the longitudinal direction serves as a mounting portion 16 for attaching the blade holder 10 to the scribing device. Further, in the blade holder 10, at least the vicinity of the mounting portion 16 is made of a magnetic metal.

平坦部11a、11b係以相對於刀片保持具10之長度方向之中心軸而對稱的方式設置,且平坦部11a、11b之間成為沿著中心軸的缺口部12。此外,於平坦部11a、11b之下端,設置有貫通於與各面垂直之方向的銷槽13。 The flat portions 11a and 11b are provided symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 10, and the flat portions 11a and 11b are formed as notches 12 along the central axis. Further, pin holes 13 penetrating in the direction perpendicular to the respective faces are provided at the lower ends of the flat portions 11a and 11b.

於刀片保持具10中,在使旋轉刀片1位於缺口部12的狀態下,將銷15插入至形成在旋轉刀片1之中心處的貫通孔3、及位於其兩側之平坦部11a、11b的銷槽13中,藉此,旋轉刀片1以銷15作為軸而自由旋轉地得到保持。再者,於本實施形態之情形時,將銷15插入至銷槽13中而使旋轉刀片1保持於刀片保持具10上之後,不將旋轉刀片1從刀片保持具10上卸除。例如,使劃線裝置中所使用之旋轉刀片1的更換藉由更換刀片保持具10本身而進行。因此,於以後之說明中,只要不特別註明,所謂的刀片保持具10均係指安裝有旋轉刀片1的狀態下的刀片保持具。 In the blade holder 10, in a state where the rotary blade 1 is placed in the notch portion 12, the pin 15 is inserted into the through hole 3 formed at the center of the rotary blade 1, and the flat portions 11a, 11b on both sides thereof. In the pin groove 13, the rotary blade 1 is rotatably held by the pin 15 as an axis. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, after the pin 15 is inserted into the pin groove 13 to hold the rotary blade 1 on the blade holder 10, the rotary blade 1 is not removed from the blade holder 10. For example, the replacement of the rotary blade 1 used in the scribing device is performed by replacing the blade holder 10 itself. Therefore, in the following description, the blade holder 10 refers to the blade holder in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is mounted, unless otherwise specified.

於平坦部11a上,標印有代碼14(然而在圖3中省略圖示)。代碼14係預先對保持於刀片保持具10上之旋轉刀片1的型式或管理編號等個 體識別資訊、及初始修正(補償,offset)資訊等與安裝在該刀片保持具10上之旋轉刀片1相關的文本資訊進行編碼而記錄的代碼。作為代碼14,較佳一例是使用QR碼(註冊商標)。作為元資料之文本資訊的格式可適當決定,例如,可決定為如下格式。 On the flat portion 11a, a code 14 is marked (although the illustration is omitted in Fig. 3). Code 14 is a type or management number of the rotary blade 1 held in advance on the blade holder 10 The body identification information, the initial correction (offset) information, and the like are encoded by the text information associated with the rotary blade 1 mounted on the blade holder 10. As the code 14, a preferred example is to use a QR code (registered trademark). The format of the text information as the metadata can be appropriately determined, for example, it can be determined as the following format.

(表示型式之字串)/(表示管理編號之字串)/(表示初始修正資訊之字串) (indicating the type string) / (indicating the string of the management number) / (indicating the string of the initial correction information)

此處,型式係遵照特定的規則而將旋轉刀片1之尺寸(外徑、內徑、厚度、刀尖角度等)或材質等字串化。管理編號係指唯一性地賦予各旋轉刀片1的編號。而且,初始修正(補償)資訊係指為了消除(補償)因旋轉刀片1相對於刀片保持具10之安裝誤差而導致的劃線位置的偏移,而針對每個旋轉刀片1預先特定出的校正用資訊。 Here, the type is a string of the size (outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, tool nose angle, etc.) or material of the rotary blade 1 in accordance with a specific rule. The management number refers to a number uniquely assigned to each of the rotary blades 1. Moreover, the initial correction (compensation) information refers to a correction specified in advance for each rotary blade 1 in order to eliminate (compensate) the offset of the scribe line position due to the mounting error of the rotary blade 1 with respect to the blade holder 10. Use information.

代碼14係在旋轉刀片1安裝於刀片保持具10上之後,且在已特定出初始修正(補償)資訊之後,由眾所周知的雷射標記裝置等而標印。而且,如下所述,代碼14係在進行劃線之前,由讀碼器270(參照圖6)讀取並解碼(decode)。 The code 14 is after the rotary blade 1 is mounted on the blade holder 10, and after the initial correction (compensation) information has been specified, is marked by a well-known laser marking device or the like. Further, as described below, the code 14 is read and decoded by the code reader 270 (refer to FIG. 6) before scribing.

安裝部16係形成為將圓筒的一部分切除所成的形狀,且包含傾斜部16a、及與刀片保持具10的長度方向平行的平坦部16b。平坦部16b係與保持旋轉刀片1之側的平坦部11a、11b垂直地設置。藉由將具有該形狀之安裝部16插入至劃線裝置中所包含的保持具接頭20中,而實現旋轉刀片1安裝於劃線裝置上的狀態。 The mounting portion 16 is formed into a shape in which a part of the cylinder is cut out, and includes an inclined portion 16a and a flat portion 16b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 10. The flat portion 16b is provided perpendicular to the flat portions 11a, 11b on the side holding the rotary blade 1. The state in which the rotary blade 1 is attached to the scribing device is realized by inserting the mounting portion 16 having the shape into the holder joint 20 included in the scribing device.

雖然圖3中省略了圖示,但保持具接頭20係構成下述劃線裝置之一部分的構件,且係劃線裝置中之刀片保持具10的安裝端。保持具接頭20包含安裝保持刀片保持具10的保持部22。而且,於保持具接頭20中,包含使該保持具接頭20繞沿著Z軸方向延伸之旋轉軸AX1自由旋轉的軸承21a、21b。 Although not shown in FIG. 3, the holder joint 20 is a member constituting one of the following scribing devices, and is a mounting end of the blade holder 10 in the scribing device. The holder joint 20 includes a retaining portion 22 that mounts and holds the blade holder 10. Further, the holder joint 20 includes bearings 21a and 21b that allow the holder joint 20 to freely rotate about a rotation axis AX1 extending in the Z-axis direction.

於保持部22上,形成有有底筒狀的開口23,且在其最深端部埋 設有磁鐵24。此外,於開口23之側面,與開口23的延伸方向垂直地,設有用於決定刀片保持具10之插入位置的定位銷25。 A bottomed cylindrical opening 23 is formed in the holding portion 22, and is buried at the deepest end portion thereof. A magnet 24 is provided. Further, on the side of the opening 23, a positioning pin 25 for determining the insertion position of the blade holder 10 is provided perpendicular to the extending direction of the opening 23.

刀片保持具10相對於保持具接頭20的安裝係可藉由將刀片保持具10之安裝部16插入至保持具接頭20的開口23中而進行。即,若將刀片保持具10之安裝部16插入至開口23中,則由磁性體構成之刀片保持具10的安裝部16會被磁鐵24吸引,藉此刀片保持具10會被拉向開口23內部,於該過程中,若傾斜部16a之某處與定位銷25接觸,則以後,安裝部16會以開口23之延伸方向為軸而旋轉,並以如圖3所示的、定位銷25之延伸方向與傾斜部16a彼此平行地相互抵接的狀態靜止。此時,刀片保持具10受定位銷25之作用而禁止其旋轉方向的活動,並且受到來自磁鐵24的吸引力,因此結果為,形成固定地安裝於保持具接頭20上的狀態。 The mounting of the blade holder 10 relative to the holder joint 20 can be performed by inserting the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 into the opening 23 of the holder joint 20. That is, when the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 is inserted into the opening 23, the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 made of a magnetic material is attracted by the magnet 24, whereby the blade holder 10 is pulled toward the opening 23 Internally, in the process, if a certain portion of the inclined portion 16a is in contact with the positioning pin 25, the mounting portion 16 will be rotated about the extending direction of the opening 23, and the positioning pin 25 as shown in FIG. The extending direction is stationary in a state in which the inclined portions 16a abut each other in parallel with each other. At this time, the blade holder 10 is prevented from moving in the rotational direction by the action of the positioning pin 25, and receives the attraction force from the magnet 24, and as a result, is formed in a state of being fixedly attached to the holder joint 20.

另一方面,在安裝於保持具接頭20上的狀態下,作用於刀片保持具10之長度方向的力僅為磁力,因此刀片保持具10從保持具接頭20上之卸除可藉由從平坦部11a、11b之側拉曳而容易地進行。 On the other hand, in the state of being mounted on the holder joint 20, the force acting on the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 10 is only a magnetic force, so that the removal of the blade holder 10 from the holder joint 20 can be performed by flatness. The sides of the portions 11a and 11b are pulled and easily performed.

再者,保持具接頭20的開口23係以在安裝有刀片保持具10之狀態下,旋轉刀片1的銷15之水平位置與作為軸承21a、21b之旋轉中心的旋轉軸AX1之水平位置錯開的方式設置。其目的在於:於執行劃線動作時使旋轉刀片1產生所謂的主銷後傾穩定效應(caster effect)。關於主銷後傾穩定效應將於下文敍述。 Further, the opening 23 of the holder joint 20 is such that, in a state in which the blade holder 10 is mounted, the horizontal position of the pin 15 of the rotary blade 1 is shifted from the horizontal position of the rotation axis AX1 which is the rotation center of the bearings 21a, 21b. Mode setting. The purpose is to cause the rotating blade 1 to generate a so-called caster caster effect when the scribing action is performed. The post-stabilization effect of the kingpin will be described below.

<劃線處理系統之主要構成> <Main components of the scribing system>

其次,對構成本實施形態之劃線處理系統的劃線裝置、及控制其動作之控制器的構成進行說明。再者,儘管劃線裝置在構成上可獲得各種變化,但於以下方面是共通的,即,包含從上側對脆性材料基板進行劃線的至少1個上側劃線頭、及從下側對脆性材料基板進行劃線的至少1個下側劃線頭,而且各劃線頭包含保持具接頭20,且係在 該保持具接頭20上安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下進行劃線。以下,對作為代表性構成例的、可利用上側劃線頭及下側劃線頭進行雙面同時劃線的劃線裝置200進行說明。 Next, the configuration of the scribing device constituting the scribing processing system of the present embodiment and the controller for controlling the operation thereof will be described. Further, although the scribing device can be variously configured, it is common in that it includes at least one upper scribing line for scribing the brittle material substrate from the upper side, and brittleness from the lower side. At least one lower scribing head for scribing the material substrate, and each scribing head includes a holder joint 20 and is attached to The scribing is performed in a state where the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20. Hereinafter, a scribing device 200 which can perform double-sided simultaneous scribing using the upper scribing head and the lower scribing head as a representative configuration example will be described.

再者,在本發明中,並非必需為上側劃線頭與下側劃線頭成對地進行雙面同時劃線、或上側劃線頭與下側劃線頭的個數相同的形態,例如亦可為使上側劃線頭與下側劃線頭分開地設置等而令兩者可獨立地進行劃線的形態,亦可為上側劃線頭與下側劃線頭中的一種劃線頭比另一種劃線頭的數量更多的形態,或者亦可為還能進行基板的旋轉的形態。 Further, in the present invention, it is not necessary that the upper side scribing head and the lower side scribing head are double-sided simultaneously scribing in pairs, or the number of the upper side scribing head and the lower side scribing head are the same, for example. Alternatively, the upper side scribing head and the lower side scribing head may be separately provided so that the two can be independently scribed, or one of the upper scribing head and the lower scribing head. The shape is larger than the number of other scribing heads, or may be a form in which the substrate can be rotated.

(劃線裝置之構成) (composition of the scribing device)

圖4係表示劃線裝置200之主要機械性構成要素的外觀立體圖。概略地來說,劃線裝置200係藉由使脆性材料基板P在分別包含旋轉刀片1之上下1對劃線頭30(上側劃線頭30A、下側劃線頭30B)之間移動,而從上下2個方向同時對脆性材料基板P進行劃線的裝置。再者,於圖4中,繪製有右手系的XYZ座標,其中,將脆性材料基板的移動方向設為Y軸方向,將水平面內的劃線頭30A、30B之移動方向設為X軸方向,將鉛垂方向設為Z軸方向。 4 is an external perspective view showing main mechanical components of the scribing device 200. Roughly speaking, the scribing device 200 moves between the upper and lower scribe heads 30 (the upper scribe head 30A and the lower scribe head 30B) by including the brittle material substrate P on the upper and lower sides of the rotary blade 1 respectively. A device for scribing the brittle material substrate P simultaneously from the upper and lower directions. In addition, in FIG. 4, the XYZ coordinates of the right-handed system are drawn, in which the moving direction of the brittle material substrate is set to the Y-axis direction, and the moving direction of the scribing heads 30A and 30B in the horizontal plane is set to the X-axis direction. The vertical direction is set to the Z-axis direction.

劃線裝置200中,作為其機械性構成要素,主要包括基板支撐機構210、夾緊機構220、及劃線機構230。而且,儘管在圖4中省略圖示,但於劃線裝置200之上部,設置有拍攝設置在脆性材料基板P之上表面(劃線面)上的定位用對準標記的2台CCD攝影機240a、240b(參照圖6)。 The scribing device 200 mainly includes a substrate supporting mechanism 210, a clamping mechanism 220, and a scribing mechanism 230 as mechanical components thereof. Further, although not shown in FIG. 4, two CCD cameras 240a for locating positioning alignment marks provided on the upper surface (line surface) of the brittle material substrate P are provided on the upper portion of the scribing device 200. 240b (refer to Figure 6).

基板支撐機構210包含第1基板支撐部210A、及第2基板支撐部210B。第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B係隔著劃線機構230而對向配置。第1基板支撐部210A負責劃線之前的脆性材料基板P的搬送,第2基板支撐部210B負責劃線之後的脆性材料基板P的搬送。 第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B分別係由沿著X軸方向相隔配置之複數個(在圖4中為5個)支撐單元211所構成。各支撐單元211在Y軸方向上具有長度方向,且沿著Y軸方向架設有正時皮帶212。正時皮帶212形成為如下構成:若於在其上表面支撐有脆性材料基板P的狀態下,對該脆性材料基板P施加Y軸方向的力,則正時皮帶212會從動於脆性材料基板P之活動而旋轉,從而可加速脆性材料基板P向Y軸方向的移動。 The substrate supporting mechanism 210 includes a first substrate supporting portion 210A and a second substrate supporting portion 210B. The first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B are disposed to face each other with the scribing mechanism 230 interposed therebetween. The first substrate supporting portion 210A is responsible for transporting the brittle material substrate P before scribing, and the second substrate supporting portion 210B is responsible for transporting the brittle material substrate P after scribing. Each of the first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B is constituted by a plurality of (five in FIG. 4) supporting units 211 which are arranged along the X-axis direction. Each of the support units 211 has a longitudinal direction in the Y-axis direction, and a timing belt 212 is placed along the Y-axis direction. The timing belt 212 is configured such that when a brittle material substrate P is supported on the upper surface thereof, a force in the Y-axis direction is applied to the brittle material substrate P, and the timing belt 212 is driven by the brittle material substrate. The movement of P rotates, thereby accelerating the movement of the brittle material substrate P in the Y-axis direction.

夾緊機構220係利用於X軸方向上相隔地配置之一對夾緊具221L、221R來夾緊(保持)載置於正時皮帶212之上的脆性材料基板P的後端部,並保持該夾緊狀態而使夾緊具221L、221R向Y軸方向移動的機構。夾緊機構220之移動動作係藉由線性馬達而實現。再者,夾緊具221L、221R係以沿著Y軸方向移動時不會干涉支撐單元211的方式設置。 The clamp mechanism 220 is configured to clamp (hold) the rear end portion of the brittle material substrate P placed on the timing belt 212 by the pair of clamps 221L, 221R disposed in the X-axis direction, and to maintain In the clamped state, the clamps 221L and 221R are moved in the Y-axis direction. The movement of the clamping mechanism 220 is achieved by a linear motor. Further, the clamps 221L and 221R are provided so as not to interfere with the support unit 211 when moving in the Y-axis direction.

劃線機構230係對脆性材料基板P之上下雙面同時並列地進行劃線的部位。劃線機構230中,於Y軸方向上之第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B之間的位置上,包含上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B。上側劃線頭30A設置於上側劃線機構231上,下側劃線頭30B設置於下側劃線機構232上,且分別可藉由省略圖示之線性馬達而沿著X軸方向自由移動。再者,於本實施形態中,使該線性馬達驅動時之上側劃線頭30A及下側劃線頭30B的移動速度成為對脆性材料基板P之上表面及下表面進行X軸方向之劃線時的劃線速度。 The scribing mechanism 230 is a portion that scribing the upper and lower sides of the brittle material substrate P in parallel at the same time. In the scribing mechanism 230, the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B are included at positions between the first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B in the Y-axis direction. The upper scribing head 30A is provided on the upper scribing mechanism 231, and the lower scribing head 30B is provided on the lower scribing mechanism 232, and is movable in the X-axis direction by a linear motor (not shown). Further, in the present embodiment, when the linear motor is driven, the moving speeds of the upper side scribing head 30A and the lower side scribing head 30B are scribed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the brittle material substrate P in the X-axis direction. The speed of the line.

圖5係表示在圖4中省略圖示之劃線頭30之詳細構成的圖。更詳細而言,圖5表示上側劃線頭30A。上側劃線頭30A係以在安裝有刀片保持具10之狀態下旋轉刀片1位於最下端部的方式,包含保持具接頭20。另一方面,下側劃線頭30B係以在安裝有刀片保持具10之狀態下旋轉刀片1位於最上端部的方式,包含保持具接頭20。即,下側劃線 頭30B係以使圖5所示之上側劃線頭30A上下反轉的形態而設。 Fig. 5 is a view showing a detailed configuration of the scribing head 30 which is not shown in Fig. 4 . In more detail, FIG. 5 shows the upper side scribing head 30A. The upper scribing head 30A includes a holder joint 20 in such a manner that the rotary blade 1 is located at the lowermost end in a state in which the blade holder 10 is attached. On the other hand, the lower scribing head 30B includes the holder joint 20 in such a manner that the rotary blade 1 is located at the uppermost end in a state in which the blade holder 10 is attached. That is, the lower side line The head 30B is provided in such a manner that the upper side scribing head 30A shown in Fig. 5 is vertically inverted.

於此2個劃線頭30中,銷15在刀片保持具10上成為水平,因此旋轉刀片1呈與水平面正交之姿勢,以水平方向為軸自由旋轉。 In the two scribing heads 30, the pin 15 is horizontal on the blade holder 10, so that the rotary blade 1 is in a posture orthogonal to the horizontal plane and is free to rotate in the horizontal direction.

並且,藉由如上所述包含軸承21a、21b,從而,於劃線裝置200中,保持具接頭20在水平面內自由旋轉。藉此,於刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20上之情形時,旋轉刀片1在水平面內自由旋轉。 Further, by including the bearings 21a and 21b as described above, the holder joint 20 is freely rotatable in the horizontal plane in the scribing device 200. Thereby, when the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20, the rotary blade 1 is free to rotate in the horizontal plane.

而且,上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B分別包含可進行保持具接頭20之升降動作的升降部31A、31B。該升降部31A、31B係藉由例如伺服馬達、線性馬達、或使用氣壓控制的氣缸等而實現。 Further, each of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B includes elevating portions 31A and 31B that can perform the lifting operation of the holder joint 20, respectively. The lifting portions 31A and 31B are realized by, for example, a servo motor, a linear motor, or an air cylinder controlled by air pressure.

於具有如上構成之劃線裝置200中,若在藉由夾緊機構220夾緊載置在第1基板支撐部210A上的脆性材料基板P的後端部側的狀態下,使夾緊機構220於Y軸方向移動,則由第1基板支撐部210A之支撐單元211支撐的脆性材料基板P一面由該支撐單元211支撐,一面藉由該正時皮帶212之從動旋轉與夾緊機構220之移動而於Y軸方向搬送。途中,於脆性材料基板P通過上側劃線機構231與下側劃線機構232之間而得到劃線之後,脆性材料基板P從前端部側逐漸地被支撐於第2基板支撐部210B之支撐單元211上。於第2基板支撐部210B,與第1基板支撐部210A相同,脆性材料基板P亦藉由夾緊機構220之移動與支撐單元211中所含的正時皮帶212之從動旋轉而得到搬送。因此,於劃線裝置200中,基板支撐機構210與夾緊機構220作為脆性材料基板P的保持器件而發揮功能。 In the scribing device 200 having the above configuration, the clamping mechanism 220 is brought into a state in which the rear end portion side of the brittle material substrate P placed on the first substrate supporting portion 210A is clamped by the clamping mechanism 220. When moving in the Y-axis direction, the brittle material substrate P supported by the support unit 211 of the first substrate supporting portion 210A is supported by the supporting unit 211 while being driven by the timing rotation of the timing belt 212 and the clamping mechanism 220 Move and transport in the Y-axis direction. In the middle, when the brittle material substrate P is scribed by the upper scribe line mechanism 231 and the lower scribe line mechanism 232, the brittle material substrate P is gradually supported by the support unit of the second substrate support portion 210B from the distal end portion side. 211. In the second substrate supporting portion 210B, similarly to the first substrate supporting portion 210A, the brittle material substrate P is also conveyed by the movement of the clamping mechanism 220 and the driven rotation of the timing belt 212 included in the supporting unit 211. Therefore, in the scribing device 200, the substrate supporting mechanism 210 and the clamping mechanism 220 function as a holding device of the brittle material substrate P.

於此情形時,若預先調整上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B的Z軸方向位置,使分別安裝之刀片保持具10前端的旋轉刀片1與通過上側劃線機構231與下側劃線機構232之間的脆性材料基板P接觸,則旋轉刀片1分別於搬送途中之脆性材料基板P的上下表面上壓接轉動。藉此,可對脆性材料基板P的上下表面進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。於此 情形時,藉由適當地將上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B之X軸方向上的配置位置錯開,可在X軸方向之任意位置進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。 In this case, if the position of the upper side scribing head 30A and the lower side scribing head 30B in the Z-axis direction is adjusted in advance, the rotating blade 1 at the front end of the blade holder 10 to be mounted separately and the lower side scribing mechanism 231 and the lower side are drawn. When the brittle material substrate P is in contact with each other between the wire mechanisms 232, the rotary blades 1 are pressed and rotated on the upper and lower surfaces of the brittle material substrate P during transportation. Thereby, the upper and lower surfaces of the brittle material substrate P can be scribed along the Y-axis direction. herein In this case, by appropriately arranging the arrangement positions of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B in the X-axis direction, the scribing along the Y-axis direction can be performed at any position in the X-axis direction.

而且,若在使脆性材料基板P位於上側劃線機構231與下側劃線機構232之間的狀態下,一面使分別安裝於上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B上之刀片保持具10前端的旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸一面使上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B於X軸方向移動,藉此使旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P壓接轉動,則可對脆性材料基板P進行沿著X軸方向的劃線。 Further, when the brittle material substrate P is placed between the upper scribing mechanism 231 and the lower scribing mechanism 232, the blade holders are attached to the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B, respectively. When the rotating blade 1 at the front end is in contact with the brittle material substrate P, the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B are moved in the X-axis direction, whereby the rotary blade 1 is pressed against the brittle material substrate P, and the rotating blade 1 can be pressed against the brittle material substrate P. The brittle material substrate P is scribed along the X-axis direction.

再者,於劃線裝置200進行劃線時,由於刀片保持具10相對於保持具接頭20的安裝形態,會導致所謂的主銷後傾穩定效應發揮作用。關於主銷後傾穩定效應的詳情將於下文敍述。 Further, when the scribing device 200 performs scribing, the so-called main pin backward tilting effect acts due to the mounting form of the blade holder 10 with respect to the holder joint 20.

Specifically, at least one blade parameter is set in advance, and the blade parameter is a parameter that imparts a characteristic to the operation form of the rotary blade 1 in the scribe line and affects the service life of the rotary blade 1. The blade parameter is incremented every time the corresponding scribing action is performed, and the added value of each blade parameter in the scribing line is obtained each time the scribing process is performed, and is used as the usage history data D2 together with the previous accumulated value. Recorded.

圖7及圖8係例示本實施形態中之使用歷程資料D2的圖。其中,圖7中例示關於僅用於上側劃線頭30A中的旋轉刀片1的使用歷程資料D2(將其稱為第1使用歷程資料D2α)。另一方面,圖8中例示關於混合有用於上側劃線頭30A中與用於下側劃線頭30B中該兩種情況的旋轉刀片1的使用歷程資料D2(將其稱為第2使用歷程資料D2β)。 Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are diagrams showing the use history data D2 in the present embodiment. Here, FIG. 7 exemplifies the use history data D2 (referred to as first use history data D2α) of the rotary blade 1 used only in the upper scribing head 30A. On the other hand, in FIG. 8, the usage history data D2 for the rotary blade 1 for the both of the upper side scribing head 30A and the lower side scribing head 30B is mixed (this is called the second usage history). Data D2β).

於圖7及圖8所示之使用歷程資料D2中,將從執行劃線開始到結束的期間內、旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數、外切的次數、旋轉刀片1所發生之扭轉的次數、旋轉刀片1的X軸方向之移行距離(單位:m)、Y軸方向之移行距離(單位:m)、及總移行距離(單位:m)設定為刀片參數。再者,關於各刀片參數之詳情將於下文敍述。而且,記錄有使用旋轉刀片1之日的各刀片參數之增加值、及各刀片參數的累計值。 In the use history data D2 shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P, the number of circumcisions, and the occurrence of the rotary blade 1 from the start to the end of the scribe line. The number of twists, the travel distance (unit: m) of the rotary blade 1 in the X-axis direction, the travel distance (unit: m) in the Y-axis direction, and the total travel distance (unit: m) are set as the blade parameters. Furthermore, details regarding the parameters of each blade will be described below. Further, the added value of each blade parameter on the day when the rotary blade 1 is used and the integrated value of each blade parameter are recorded.

其中,於在使用歷程資料D2中記載增加值時,當旋轉刀片1用於上側劃線頭30A中時,記載各刀片參數之實際的增加值,相對於此,當旋轉刀片1用於下側劃線頭30B中時,記載各刀片參數之實際的增加值乘以加權係數k(k>1)後所得之值。 In the case where the added value is described in the use history data D2, when the rotary blade 1 is used in the upper scribing head 30A, the actual increase value of each blade parameter is described, whereas the rotary blade 1 is used for the lower side. In the scribing head 30B, the value obtained by multiplying the actual added value of each blade parameter by the weighting coefficient k (k>1) is described.

例如,圖7所示之第1使用歷程資料D2α係有關於僅用於上側劃線頭30A中之旋轉刀片1的資料,因此,對於各刀片參數,在每個日期下記載有實際的增加值a1~an、b1~bn、c1~cn、d1~dn、e1~en、d1+e1~dn+en。再者,於第1使用歷程資料D2α中,為了方便起見將各刀片參數的累計值表示為a、b、c、d、e、d+e。 For example, the first use history data D2α shown in FIG. 7 is related to the data of the rotary blade 1 used only in the upper scribing head 30A. Therefore, for each blade parameter, the actual added value is recorded under each date. a 1 ~ a n , b 1 ~ b n , c 1 ~ c n , d 1 ~ d n , e 1 ~ e n , d 1 + e 1 ~ d n + e n . Further, in the first usage history data D2α, the cumulative values of the respective blade parameters are expressed as a, b, c, d, e, and d+e for the sake of convenience.

另一方面,圖8所示之第2使用歷程資料D2β係有關於混合有用於上側劃線頭30A中與用於下側劃線頭30B中該兩種情況的旋轉刀片1的資料。於第2使用歷程資料D2β中,當關於各刀片參數之實際的增加值為a1~an、b1~bn、c1~cn、d1~dn、e1~en、d1+e1~dn+en時,記載有該旋轉刀片1僅用於下側劃線頭30B中的日期(2012/1/21、2012/1/25)下的、實際的增加值乘以加權係數k後所得之值。對於除此以外的、該旋轉刀片1用於上側劃線頭30A中的日期,則直接記載有實際的增加值。而且,於第2使用歷程資料D2α中,各刀片參數之累計值成為與第1使用歷程資料D2α中的累計值不同的值a'、b'、c'、d'、e'、d'+e'。 On the other hand, the second usage history data D2β shown in FIG. 8 is related to the material in which the rotary blade 1 for the both of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B is mixed. In the second usage history data D2β, the actual increase values for the respective blade parameters are a 1 ~ a n , b 1 ~ b n , c 1 ~ c n , d 1 ~ d n , e 1 ~ e n , When d 1 + e 1 to d n + e n , the actual increase in the date (2012/1/21, 2012/1/25) of the rotary blade 1 only in the lower scribing head 30B is described. The value is multiplied by the weighting factor k. For the date other than the above, the rotary blade 1 is used in the upper scribing head 30A, the actual added value is directly described. Further, in the second use history data D2α, the integrated value of each blade parameter is a value a', b', c', d', e', d'+ different from the integrated value in the first use history data D2α. e'.

加權係數k的值可根據旋轉刀片1的形狀或材質等而適當決定。再者,於本實施形態中,關於使用加權係數k的效果將於下文敍述。 The value of the weighting coefficient k can be appropriately determined depending on the shape, material, and the like of the rotary blade 1. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the effect of using the weighting coefficient k will be described later.

再者,如圖7及圖8所示,於使用歷程資料D2中,記載有關於各刀片參數之使用極限值(A、B、C、D、E、F),並且關於各刀片參數,記載有表示最新的累計值是否已達到使用極限值的極限標誌。所謂使用極限值,係指若在該刀片參數之最新的累計值超過該值的狀態下使用旋轉刀片1,則幾乎確實會發生產品不良(劃線不良)的值。使用極限值係各個旋轉刀片1所固有的值。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in the use history data D2, the use limit values (A, B, C, D, E, and F) of the respective blade parameters are described, and the respective blade parameters are described. There is a limit flag indicating whether the latest accumulated value has reached the usage limit value. The use limit value means that if the rotary blade 1 is used in a state where the latest integrated value of the blade parameter exceeds the value, the value of the product defect (defective line defect) almost surely occurs. The use limit value is a value inherent to each of the rotary blades 1.

於本實施形態中,對於最新的累計值超過使用極限值的刀片參數,將極限標誌設為「1」,對於最新的累計值未超過使用極限值的刀片參數,將極限標誌設為「0」。於圖7及圖8中,例示有成為「X軸方向移行距離」的刀片參數超過使用極限值(d、d'>D)的情況。如下所述,於本實施形態中,即便旋轉刀片1只存在1個極限標誌為「1」的刀片參數,亦被禁止使用,若不進行更換則無法進行劃線動作。即,藉由檢查極限標誌的值,可特定出該旋轉刀片1是否為不可使用。 In the present embodiment, the limit flag is set to "1" for the blade parameter whose latest integrated value exceeds the use limit value, and the limit flag is set to "0" for the blade parameter whose latest integrated value does not exceed the use limit value. . In FIGS. 7 and 8 , a case where the blade parameter that becomes the "X-axis direction travel distance" exceeds the use limit value (d, d' > D) is exemplified. As described below, in the present embodiment, even if only one blade parameter having the limit flag of "1" exists in the rotary blade 1, it is prohibited to use the blade parameter, and if the blade parameter is not replaced, the scribing operation cannot be performed. That is, by checking the value of the limit flag, it is possible to specify whether or not the rotary blade 1 is unusable.

或者,亦可為如下形態:僅擷取對應的使用歷程資料D2中存在極限標誌為「1」的刀片參數之旋轉刀片1的個體識別資訊而製程刀片不可使用資料,根據該刀片不可使用資料中是否記載有個體識別資訊來判斷旋轉刀片1能否使用。 Alternatively, the method may be such that only the individual identification information of the rotary blade 1 having the blade parameter whose limit flag is "1" in the corresponding use history data D2 is captured, and the process blade is not usable, and the data is not available according to the blade. Whether or not individual identification information is recorded to determine whether or not the rotary blade 1 can be used.

而且,圖7及圖8所示之刀片參數僅為例示,所設定之刀片參數的種類、或使用歷程資料D2的記載格式並不限於圖7及圖8所示。又,作為使用極限值,可根據經驗或實驗決定適當的值。 Further, the blade parameters shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are merely examples, and the type of the blade parameter to be set or the description format of the use history data D2 is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Further, as the use limit value, an appropriate value can be determined based on experience or experiment.

或者,於本實施形態中,並非必需為劃線裝置200本身包含讀碼器270甚至包含代碼處理部254的形態。例如,只要劃線處理系統係由通過未圖示的LAN(Local Area Network,區域網路)等通訊網路將複數個劃線裝置200與統一管理該等劃線裝置的共通的管理伺服器連接而 構成的,則亦可為讀碼器270或代碼處理部254僅設置於該管理伺服器中,解碼內容通過該網路從管理伺服器傳輸至各劃線裝置200中的形態。或者,原理上,亦可由劃線處理系統之操作人員(以下,簡稱為操作人員)經由輸入部253輸入解碼內容。 Alternatively, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary that the scribing apparatus 200 itself includes the reader 270 or even the code processing unit 254. For example, the scribing processing system connects a plurality of scribing apparatuses 200 to a common management server that collectively manages the scribing apparatuses by a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) (not shown). Alternatively, the code reader 270 or the code processing unit 254 may be provided only in the management server, and the decoded content may be transmitted from the management server to each of the scribing devices 200 through the network. Alternatively, in principle, the operator of the scribing processing system (hereinafter simply referred to as an operator) may input the decoded content via the input unit 253.

再者,於劃線處理系統具有如上所述的網路構成之情形時,就製程配方資料保持部259或使用歷程保持部260而言,較佳的亦為設於管理伺服器中。於此情形時,製程配方資料D1、使用歷程資料D2、以及刀片不可使用資料在複數個劃線裝置200之間共用,且可由任一劃線裝置200參考或更新。 Further, in the case where the scribing processing system has the network configuration as described above, it is preferable that the process recipe data holding unit 259 or the usage history holding unit 260 is also provided in the management server. In this case, the process recipe data D1, the usage history data D2, and the blade unusable data are shared among the plurality of scribing devices 200, and can be referred to or updated by any of the scribing devices 200.

<刀片參數之詳情> <Details of blade parameters>

其次,對圖7及圖8中所例示之、表示旋轉刀片1之使用狀態的刀片參數,詳細地進行說明。 Next, the blade parameters indicating the state of use of the rotary blade 1 illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8 will be described in detail.

(碰撞次數) (number of collisions)

於本實施形態中,旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P之碰撞次數係指為了執行劃線而使包含旋轉刀片1之劃線頭30下降、而使旋轉刀片1的刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的次數。於每次發生該接觸時,刃部2都會受到衝擊,因此,刃部2隨著重複接觸而磨耗。使用經磨耗之刃部2成為使劃線品質劣化的主要因素。因此,於本實施形態中,將旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值,來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。 In the present embodiment, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P means that the scribing head 30 including the rotary blade 1 is lowered to perform scribing, and the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P are caused. The number of contacts. When the contact occurs each time, the blade portion 2 is subjected to an impact, and therefore, the blade portion 2 is worn by repeated contact. The use of the worn blade portion 2 is a major factor that deteriorates the quality of the scribing. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(外切) (external cut)

所謂外切,概略而言是指在以脆性材料基板P之上表面作為被劃線面之情形時,於較脆性材料基板P之邊緣部分更靠外側的位置,使旋轉刀片1下降至較脆性材料基板P之被劃線面的高度位置更略靠下方的劃線高度,而從脆性材料基板P之一端部劃線至另一端部的方法。圖9係表示外切之情形的概略圖。於圖9所示之情形時,例示有如下情 形:在X軸方向上與脆性材料基板P相隔距離OH1的近前位置,使旋轉刀片1下降至較脆性材料基板P的被劃線面更靠下方的劃線高度,而進行外切直至同樣地在X軸方向上與脆性材料基板P相隔距離OH2的前方之位置。 The outer cut is generally referred to as a position where the upper surface of the brittle material substrate P is a lined surface, and the rotary blade 1 is lowered to a brittle position at a position outside the edge portion of the brittle material substrate P. A method in which the height position of the scribing surface of the material substrate P is slightly lower than the height of the scribe line, and the end portion of the brittle material substrate P is scribed to the other end portion. Fig. 9 is a schematic view showing a state of circumcision. In the case shown in Figure 9, the following is illustrated Shape: in the X-axis direction at a position close to the brittle material substrate P by a distance OH1, the rotating blade 1 is lowered to a line height lower than the scribed surface of the brittle material substrate P, and circumscribed until the same The position of the front side of the OH2 is separated from the brittle material substrate P in the X-axis direction.

再者,相對於該外切,將在脆性材料基板P所在之位置上使旋轉刀片1下降而進行劃線的方法稱為內切。 Further, with respect to the outer cutting, a method of lowering the rotary blade 1 at the position where the brittle material substrate P is located and performing scribing is referred to as inscribed.

外切由於其劃線達到基板之兩端,故而劃線後的切斷(break)容易,且具有不會發生在內切之情形時成為問題之、旋轉刀片1於劃線開始位置打滑的優點。然而,與內切之情形相比,旋轉刀片1易於消耗,因此外切的次數越多,旋轉刀片1越易達到使用極限。對此,於本實施形態中,將外切的次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值,來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。 Since the scribe line reaches both ends of the substrate, the break after the scribe line is easy, and there is an advantage that the rotary blade 1 slips at the start position of the scribe line when the dicing does not occur in the case of the inner cut. . However, the rotary blade 1 is apt to be consumed as compared with the case of the inner cut, so the more the number of circumcisions, the easier the rotary blade 1 reaches the use limit. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of circumcisions is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(旋轉刀片之扭轉) (rotation of the rotating blade)

繼而,於對旋轉刀片1之扭轉的說明中,首先,對劃線時發生的主銷後傾穩定效應進行說明。如上所述,保持具接頭20繞旋轉軸AX1自由旋轉,不具備直接調整旋轉刀片1之姿勢的機構。因此,當開始劃線時,旋轉刀片1的刃部2並不一定朝向劃線方向。然而,另一方面,於在保持具接頭20上安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下,旋轉刀片1的銷15之水平位置與作為軸承21a、21b之旋轉中心的旋轉軸AX1之水平位置錯開。因此,若在旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下劃線頭30在水平面內沿著某一方向開始相對移動,則在保持具接頭20上轉矩會馬上發揮作用,旋轉刀片1在與劃線頭30之相對移動方向平行的狀態下相對於脆性材料基板P而壓接轉動。將該現象稱為主銷後傾穩定效應。 Next, in the description of the twist of the rotary blade 1, first, the kingpin backward tilting effect which occurs at the time of scribing will be described. As described above, the holder joint 20 is freely rotatable about the rotation axis AX1, and does not have a mechanism for directly adjusting the posture of the rotary blade 1. Therefore, when the scribing is started, the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 does not necessarily face the scribing direction. On the other hand, in the state in which the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20, the horizontal position of the pin 15 of the rotary blade 1 is shifted from the horizontal position of the rotation axis AX1 which is the rotation center of the bearings 21a, 21b. Therefore, if the scribing head 30 starts to move in a certain direction in a horizontal direction in a state where the rotary blade 1 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P, the torque acts on the holder joint 20 immediately, and the rotary blade 1 is in the same direction. The wire head 30 is pressed against the brittle material substrate P in a state in which the relative movement directions of the wire ends 30 are parallel. This phenomenon is called the kingpin backward tilting effect.

然而,當發生該主銷後傾穩定效應時,旋轉刀片1會於該刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下強制性地使其姿勢變更。於本實施形 態中,將隨著該主銷後傾穩定效應的出現而於旋轉刀片1上發生之強制性的姿勢變更稱為旋轉刀片1之「扭轉」。 However, when the king pin back tilting effect occurs, the rotary blade 1 forcibly changes its posture in a state where the blade portion 2 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P. In this embodiment In the state, the mandatory posture change occurring on the rotary blade 1 in response to the occurrence of the caster stabilization effect is referred to as "twisting" of the rotary blade 1.

圖10係對旋轉刀片之扭轉進行例示的圖。於圖10中,表示有如下情況:於藉由使劃線頭30沿著X軸方向相對移動,而對脆性材料基板P向箭頭AR1所示的X軸方向進行複數次劃線之後,使旋轉刀片1暫時從脆性材料基板P離開,繼而,在使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的下一劃線開始位置接觸後,並使劃線頭30沿著Y軸方向相對移動,藉此向箭頭AR2所示的Y軸方向進行劃線。於此情形時,處於已結束第1劃線之狀態的旋轉刀片1保持沿著大致X軸方向的姿勢而被供給至下一個Y軸方向上之劃線。因此,若使該旋轉刀片1再次與脆性材料基板P接觸而開始向Y軸方向之劃線,則如圖10之圓內所示,暫時向極略微地與Y軸不同的方向進行劃線,不久,隨著劃線頭30之相對移動而使旋轉刀片1發生扭轉,使得旋轉刀片1形成與Y軸方向平行的姿勢,因此,結果可實現所期望的向Y軸方向之劃線。 Fig. 10 is a view showing an example of twisting of a rotary blade. In FIG. 10, the scribing head 30 is moved in the X-axis direction, and the brittle material substrate P is subjected to a plurality of times of scribing in the X-axis direction indicated by the arrow AR1, and then rotated. The blade 1 is temporarily separated from the brittle material substrate P, and then, after the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the next scribe start position of the brittle material substrate P, the scribe head 30 is relatively moved in the Y-axis direction, thereby the arrow The Y-axis direction indicated by AR2 is scribed. In this case, the rotary blade 1 in the state in which the first scribe line has been completed is supplied to the scribe line in the next Y-axis direction in a posture in the substantially X-axis direction. Therefore, when the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P again to start the scribe line in the Y-axis direction, as shown in the circle of FIG. 10, the scribe line is temporarily slightly slanted in a direction different from the Y-axis. Soon, the rotary blade 1 is twisted with the relative movement of the scribing head 30, so that the rotary blade 1 is formed in a posture parallel to the Y-axis direction, and as a result, a desired scribe line in the Y-axis direction can be realized.

該旋轉刀片1之扭轉係使旋轉刀片1之刃部2磨耗的主要因素之一,對此,若重複該扭轉則旋轉刀片1的劃線的品質會劣化。因此,於本實施形態中,將該扭轉發生之次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。 The twisting of the rotary blade 1 is one of the main factors that cause the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 to wear, and if the twist is repeated, the quality of the scribe line of the rotary blade 1 is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of occurrences of the twist is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(移行距離) (transition distance)

所謂旋轉刀片1之移行距離,係指在旋轉刀片1的刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P相對移動的距離。因為劃線係藉由使刃部2相對於脆性材料基板P壓接轉動而實現,故可知若旋轉刀片1的移行距離較長,則刃部2之磨耗進展,而導致劃線品質劣化。因此,於本實施形態中,將旋轉刀片1之移行距離設定為刀片參數,並基於刀片參數的累計值來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。 The travel distance of the rotary blade 1 is a distance in which the rotary blade 1 relatively moves with respect to the brittle material substrate P in a state where the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P. Since the scribing is achieved by pressing and rotating the blade portion 2 with respect to the brittle material substrate P, it is understood that when the traveling distance of the rotary blade 1 is long, the abrasion of the blade portion 2 progresses, and the scribing quality is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 is set as the blade parameter, and it is judged based on the integrated value of the blade parameter whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

再者,於圖7中,將X軸方向之移行距離、Y軸方向的移行距離、及該等距離的累加值亦即總移行距離作為各個刀片參數處理,但其係對應於應著眼的移行距離會因劃線時設定之配方的內容而異者。 Furthermore, in FIG. 7, the travel distance in the X-axis direction, the travel distance in the Y-axis direction, and the accumulated value of the equal distances, that is, the total travel distance are treated as individual blade parameters, but they correspond to the shifting of the eye. The distance will vary depending on the content of the recipe set at the time of scribing.

作為一例,考慮以如下之製程配方進行:在X軸方向上之第1劃線結束後,不使脆性材料基板P旋轉而進行Y軸方向上之第2劃線。於此情形時,當進行第2劃線時,旋轉刀片1橫切先前已藉由第1劃線所形成之劃線,故而與不進行此種橫切之情形相比,旋轉刀片1容易受到衝擊。於此情形時,藉由預先將關於Y軸方向之移行距離的建議更換值V1設定得短於關於X軸方向之移行距離的建議更換值V1,而可更確實地抑制因Y軸方向之劃線品質劣化所致的劃線不良之產生。 As an example, it is considered that the second scribing in the Y-axis direction is performed without rotating the brittle material substrate P after the first scribing in the X-axis direction is completed. In this case, when the second scribing line is performed, the rotary blade 1 crosses the scribe line previously formed by the first scribe line, so that the rotary blade 1 is more susceptible than the case where the cross traverse is not performed. Shock. In this case, by setting the recommended replacement value V1 regarding the travel distance in the Y-axis direction to be shorter than the recommended replacement value V1 with respect to the travel distance in the X-axis direction, the division by the Y-axis direction can be more reliably suppressed. The occurrence of line defects due to deterioration of line quality.

<基於建議更換值之旋轉刀片的更換> <Replacement of rotary blade based on recommended replacement value>

如上所述,於本實施形態中,建議更換值V1記載於製程配方資料D1內。所謂建議更換值V1,概略性地來說,係指針對每個刀片參數而設定的成為建議更換旋轉刀片1時之基準的值。換而言之,所謂建議更換值V1係一種標準值,其係指若不更換旋轉刀片1而基於該配方持續進行劃線處理,則產生劃線不良的可能性變高,故而就防止產生劃線不良的觀點而言最好進行更換。因此,通常設定為:即使在刀片參數超過上述值的狀態下持續使用旋轉刀片1,旋轉刀片1亦不會立刻達到使用壽命。再者,關於建議更換值V1,亦與使用極限值同樣地,可憑經驗或實驗而決定適當的值。又,於下文中,將滿足建議更換之基準的旋轉刀片1之情形稱為處於建議更換狀態。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the recommended replacement value V1 is described in the process recipe data D1. The recommended replacement value V1 is, in a nutshell, a value set for each blade parameter that is a criterion for recommending replacement of the rotary blade 1. In other words, the recommended replacement value V1 is a standard value, which means that if the rotary blade 1 is not replaced and the scribing process is continued based on the formulation, there is a high possibility that the scribing defect is generated, so that the scratch prevention is prevented. It is best to replace it with a bad line. Therefore, it is generally set such that even if the rotary blade 1 is continuously used in a state where the blade parameter exceeds the above value, the rotary blade 1 does not reach the service life immediately. Further, as for the recommended replacement value V1, an appropriate value can be determined empirically or experimentally, similarly to the use limit value. Further, hereinafter, the case of the rotary blade 1 that satisfies the recommended replacement basis is referred to as a recommended replacement state.

於本實施形態中,基於針對每個配方而決定的建議更換值V1、及各旋轉刀片1所固有的使用歷程資料D2來判斷進行劃線時的旋轉刀片1能否使用(是否需要更換),藉此,可確實地防止脆性材料基板P的劃線處理中產生不良,從而可提高良率。 In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 at the time of scribing can be used (whether or not replacement is necessary) based on the recommended replacement value V1 determined for each recipe and the use history data D2 unique to each rotary blade 1. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent occurrence of defects in the scribing process of the brittle material substrate P, and it is possible to improve the yield.

雖一概稱為劃線處理,但旋轉刀片1的使用方法會因製程配方之 設定而完全不同。例如,重複進行僅朝向一個方向之劃線的劃線處理、或劃線頭30之升降較多而移行距離較短的劃線處理、或重複進行扭轉的劃線處理等藉由改變配方設定,雖能進行各種各樣的劃線處理,但旋轉刀片1的磨耗模式各劃線處理而異。此即意味著,若配方的設定內容不同,則直到產生劃線不良為止的各刀片參數之累計方法、或在不產生劃線不良之情形時可使用的旋轉刀片1之刀片參數之累計值的上限有所不同。於本實施形態中,著眼於此點,藉由針對各製程配方資料D1而設定關於各刀片參數之建議更換值V1,而以最適於各配方的基準來判斷有無旋轉刀片。 Although it is called the scribing process, the method of using the rotary blade 1 will be due to the process recipe. The settings are completely different. For example, by repeating the scribing process in which the scribing is performed in only one direction, or the scribing process in which the scribing head 30 is moved up and down a long distance, the scribing process in which the moving distance is short, or the scribing process in which the twisting is repeated, etc., by changing the recipe setting, Although various sorting processes can be performed, the wear mode of the rotary blade 1 differs depending on the scribing process. This means that if the setting contents of the recipe are different, the method of accumulating the blade parameters until the scribing defect occurs, or the cumulative value of the blade parameters of the rotary blade 1 that can be used when the scribing defect is not generated The upper limit is different. In the present embodiment, in view of this point, by setting the recommended replacement value V1 for each blade parameter for each process recipe data D1, it is determined whether or not there is a rotary blade based on the criterion most suitable for each recipe.

例如,於劃線頭30之升降較多的配方下,容易因旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞而使刃部2產生磨耗,故而藉由將刀片參數中之、關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數的建議更換值V1設定得較低,而可確實地防止產生劃線不良。 For example, in the formulation in which the scribing head 30 is lifted and lowered a lot, the blade portion 2 is easily worn by the collision of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P, and therefore, the blade 1 and the brittleness are involved in the blade parameters. The recommended replacement value V1 of the number of collisions of the material substrate P is set to be low, and it is possible to surely prevent generation of a scribe defect.

另一方面,即使旋轉刀片1之刀片參數已累計到達根據某製程配方資料D1中記載之建議更換值V1而建議更換的值,於該累計值小於其他製程配方資料D1中記載之建議更換值V1之情形時,旋轉刀片1亦可使用於基於該製程配方資料D1之配方下的劃線。藉此,能夠在可使用之範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片1。 On the other hand, even if the blade parameter of the rotary blade 1 has accumulated to a value recommended to be replaced according to the recommended replacement value V1 described in the certain process recipe data D1, the cumulative value is smaller than the recommended replacement value V1 described in the other process recipe data D1. In the case of the case, the rotary blade 1 can also be used for scribing under the recipe of the process recipe data D1. Thereby, the rotary blade 1 can be effectively used within the usable range.

而且,於本實施形態中,如上所述,僅於旋轉刀片1在下側劃線頭30B中使用時使刀片參數的增加值乘以加權係數k。換而言之,藉由乘以加權係數而使增加值比實際值增多。上述情況的依據係:越是在下側劃線頭30B中使用次數較多的旋轉刀片1越有使用壽命較短的傾向。此傾向可能是由於在下側劃線頭30B中使用的旋轉刀片1中,於劃線時,脆性材料基板自身的重量產生作用、或容易附著碎片(碎玻璃)等,亦即因與上側劃線頭30A相比下側劃線頭30B賦予旋轉刀片1的使用負荷較大而產生。 Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the increase value of the blade parameter is multiplied by the weighting coefficient k only when the rotary blade 1 is used in the lower scribing head 30B. In other words, the added value is increased from the actual value by multiplying the weighting coefficient. The above situation is based on the fact that the rotating blade 1 having a large number of uses in the lower scribing head 30B tends to have a shorter service life. This tendency may be due to the fact that in the rotary blade 1 used in the lower scribing head 30B, the weight of the brittle material substrate itself is generated when the scribing is performed, or the debris (broken glass) is easily attached, that is, the upper side is crossed. The head 30A is generated in a larger load than the lower scribing head 30B to the rotary blade 1.

假設為將上側劃線頭30A中使用的旋轉刀片1與下側劃線頭30B中使用的旋轉刀片1完全加以區分的形態,則亦可設想將各刀片參數的建議更換值或使用極限值決定為不同的值的應對方式。然而,該應對方式限制了旋轉刀片1之使用自由度(相對於劃線頭30之分配的靈活性)。相對於此,於本實施形態中,藉由使用加權係數k,而可針對一個刀片參數決定一個建議更換值或使用極限值,並且可將一個旋轉刀片1使用於上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B兩者。亦即,可高自由度地使用旋轉刀片1。再者,此情形時之建議更換值及使用極限值係指僅在上側劃線頭30A中使用旋轉刀片1時的建議更換值及使用極限值。 Assuming that the rotary blade 1 used in the upper scribing head 30A and the rotary blade 1 used in the lower scribing head 30B are completely distinguished, it is conceivable to determine the recommended replacement value or the use limit value of each blade parameter. Coping for different values. However, this coping style limits the degree of freedom of use of the rotary blade 1 (relative to the flexibility of the dispensing of the scribing head 30). On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by using the weighting coefficient k, a recommended replacement value or a use limit value can be determined for one blade parameter, and one rotary blade 1 can be used for the upper side scribing head 30A and the lower side. Both of the scribing heads 30B. That is, the rotary blade 1 can be used with a high degree of freedom. Further, the recommended replacement value and the use limit value in this case refer to the recommended replacement value and the use limit value when the rotary blade 1 is used only in the upper side scribing head 30A.

再者,只要基於建議更換值V1來更換旋轉刀片1,則除了將使用極限值與建議更換值V1設定為相同的值之情形以外,刀片參數應不會達到使用極限值。因此,雖看上去亦會認為無需設定使用極限值,但實際上亦會有硬要使用超過建議更換值V1之旋轉刀片1之情形,或有誤使用已達到使用壽命之旋轉刀片1的可能性,故而,就防止此種情形時之劃線不良這一點而言,設定使用極限值是有效的。 Further, as long as the rotary blade 1 is replaced based on the recommended replacement value V1, the blade parameter should not reach the use limit value except for the case where the use limit value and the recommended replacement value V1 are set to the same value. Therefore, although it seems that there is no need to set the limit value, there is actually a case where the rotary blade 1 exceeding the recommended replacement value V1 is hard to be used, or the possibility of using the rotary blade 1 that has reached the service life is misused. Therefore, it is effective to set the use limit value in order to prevent the scribe line from being bad in such a case.

<劃線處理> <Line processing>

接著,對在具有上述構成之劃線處理系統中進行劃線之情形時的處理流程進行說明。再者,於下文之說明中,將作為擔負實際之劃線動作之機械構成要素的劃線裝置200亦稱為「裝置主體」。而且,為了方便起見,下文之說明係以利用劃線裝置200的劃線為前提而進行,該說明亦可以適合於具有相同構成的其他劃線裝置。 Next, a flow of processing in the case where scribing is performed in the scribing processing system having the above configuration will be described. In the following description, the scribing device 200, which is a mechanical component that performs the actual scribing operation, is also referred to as a "device main body". Moreover, for the sake of convenience, the following description is based on the premise of the scribing by the scribing device 200, and the description can also be applied to other scribing devices having the same configuration.

圖11及圖12係表示在劃線裝置200上安裝刀片保持具10之後至完成劃線處理為止的處理流程的圖。 FIGS. 11 and 12 are views showing a flow of processing up to the completion of the scribing process after the blade holder 10 is attached to the scribing device 200.

首先,準備保持旋轉刀片1之刀片保持具10(步驟S1)。再者,在藉由預先選擇、設定劃線中所使用之配方(步驟S0),而使之後欲進行 的劃線內容為已知之情形時,較佳為準備具備適於該劃線之型式的旋轉刀片1的刀片保持具10。於劃線裝置200之情形時,因具有上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B該兩個劃線頭,故而準備2個刀片保持具10。再者,於下文中只要無特別說明,則就劃線裝置200而言,於由至少其中一個刀片保持具10保持之旋轉刀片1為不可使用或成為建議更換的對象之情形時,進行與該情況相應的處理。 First, the blade holder 10 of the rotary blade 1 is prepared to be held (step S1). Furthermore, by pre-selecting and setting the recipe used in the scribing (step S0), it is desired to proceed later. In the case where the scribing content is known, it is preferable to prepare the blade holder 10 having the rotary blade 1 of the type suitable for the scribing. In the case of the scribing apparatus 200, since the two scribing heads of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B are provided, two blade holders 10 are prepared. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, in the case of the scribing device 200, when the rotary blade 1 held by at least one of the blade holders 10 is unusable or is the object of the recommended replacement, The situation is handled accordingly.

接著,利用讀碼器270來讀取標印於所準備之刀片保持具10之平坦部11a的代碼14(步驟S2)。所讀取之代碼14於代碼處理部254中立刻被解碼成文本資訊(步驟S3)。從代碼14解碼所得之型式、管理編號、初始修正資訊等文本資訊被賦予控制部251。 Next, the code reader 270 is used to read the code 14 stamped on the flat portion 11a of the prepared blade holder 10 (step S2). The read code 14 is immediately decoded into text information in the code processing unit 254 (step S3). Text information such as a pattern, a management number, and initial correction information decoded from the code 14 is given to the control unit 251.

繼而,控制部251基於從代碼14解碼出之管理編號,而從使用歷程保持部260中讀出附有該管理編號之旋轉刀片1的使用歷程資料D2(步驟S4),根據該使用歷程資料D2中之記載內容來判斷該旋轉刀片1是否為尚未到達使用極限之可使用的旋轉刀片(步驟S5)。具體而言,於使用歷程資料D2中不存在極限標誌記載為「1」的刀片參數之情形時,判斷為可使用(在步驟S5中為是)。另一方面,於使用歷程資料D2中極限標誌記載為「1」的刀片參數即使存在1個之情形時,亦判斷為不可使用(在步驟S5中為否)。再者,於已產生刀片不可使用資料之情形時,亦可以藉由參照該等資料來判斷旋轉刀片1是否為尚未到達使用極限之可使用的旋轉刀片。 Then, based on the management number decoded from the code 14, the control unit 251 reads the use history data D2 of the rotary blade 1 with the management number from the use history holding unit 260 (step S4), based on the use history data D2. The content of the description determines whether or not the rotary blade 1 is a rotatable blade that has not yet reached the use limit (step S5). Specifically, when there is no blade parameter in which the limit flag is "1" in the use history data D2, it is determined that it is usable (YES in step S5). On the other hand, if there is one of the blade parameters whose limit flag is "1" in the use history data D2, it is judged that it is not usable (NO in step S5). Furthermore, in the case where the blade non-useable material has been generated, it is also possible to judge whether the rotary blade 1 is a usable rotary blade that has not reached the use limit by referring to the data.

於已判斷旋轉刀片1為不可使用者之情形(在步驟S5中為否)時,控制部251使監視器258顯示之後欲使用的已讀取代碼14之旋轉刀片1為不可使用的警告顯示,並且發出禁止使用該旋轉刀片1執行劃線之動作(鎖定劃線動作)的信號(步驟S6)。藉此,於劃線裝置200中,告知該旋轉刀片1不可使用,且無法使用該旋轉刀片1進行劃線,故而,可確實地防止例如因誤使用了已到達使用壽命之旋轉刀片1而導致的劃 線不良等的產生。 When it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is unuserable (NO in step S5), the control unit 251 causes the monitor 258 to display the warning display of the read blade 14 that is to be used later, which is not usable. Further, a signal for prohibiting the operation of the scribing operation (lock scribing operation) using the rotary blade 1 is issued (step S6). Thereby, in the scribing device 200, it is notified that the rotary blade 1 is unusable, and the scribing blade 1 cannot be used for scribing, so that it is possible to surely prevent, for example, the erroneous use of the rotary blade 1 that has reached the end of its service life. Plan The occurrence of line defects and the like.

於已進行不可使用之警告顯示之情形時,操作人員在保持該旋轉刀片1之刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20時將該刀片保持具10卸除,在已卸除之情形時確認該刀片保持具10的狀態之後(步驟S7),準備另一個刀片保持具10(步驟S8)。而且,對新準備的刀片保持具10再次進行代碼14之讀取(步驟S2)。再者,藉由進行該代碼14之再讀取,而解除劃線裝置200的劃線動作的禁止狀態。 When the warning display of the unusable warning has been performed, the operator removes the blade holder 10 while the blade holder 10 holding the rotary blade 1 is attached to the holder joint 20, and confirms the removal when the blade is removed. After the state of the blade holder 10 (step S7), another blade holder 10 is prepared (step S8). Moreover, the newly prepared blade holder 10 is again read by the code 14 (step S2). Further, by performing the re-reading of the code 14, the prohibition state of the scribing operation of the scribing device 200 is released.

於判斷所準備之旋轉刀片1為可使用者之情形時(在步驟S5中為是),繼而,操作人員根據監視器258中所顯示之選單進行操作,藉此,從製程配方資料保持部259中選擇適用於劃線之一個製程配方資料D1,此外,輸入欲處理的脆性材料基板P的塊數等所需的資訊。藉此,設定好劃線中所需的製程配方(步驟S9)。再者,如上所述,亦有在準備刀片保持具10之前預先選擇、設定製程配方之情形。 When it is judged that the prepared rotary blade 1 is a user-possible (YES in step S5), the operator then operates in accordance with the menu displayed on the monitor 258, whereby the slave recipe data holding portion 259 A process recipe data D1 suitable for the scribing is selected, and in addition, information required for the number of blocks of the brittle material substrate P to be processed is input. Thereby, the process recipe required in the scribing is set (step S9). Further, as described above, there is also a case where the process recipe is previously selected and set before the blade holder 10 is prepared.

若設定製程配方,則控制部251將從代碼14解碼的型式、與製程配方資料D1中所記載之在藉由執行該製程配方而進行之劃線中可使用的旋轉刀片1的型式進行對照,而判斷所準備的旋轉刀片1是否係適於執行該製程配方者(步驟S10)。 When the process recipe is set, the control unit 251 compares the pattern decoded from the code 14 with the type of the rotary blade 1 that can be used in the scribe line performed by executing the process recipe described in the process recipe data D1. It is judged whether or not the prepared rotary blade 1 is suitable for executing the process recipe (step S10).

於判斷為旋轉刀片1不適於執行所設定之製程配方之情形時(在步驟S10中為否),與上述情況同樣地,使監視器258顯示該旋轉刀片1為不可使用的警告顯示,並且發出禁止使用該旋轉刀片1執行劃線動作(鎖定劃線動作)的信號(步驟S6)。藉此,於劃線裝置200中,告知該旋轉刀片1為不可使用,且無法使用該旋轉刀片1進行劃線,故而,可確實地防止例如因誤使用不適於基於所設定的製程配方進行劃線之旋轉刀片1而導致的劃線不良等的產生。再者,於此情形時,被判斷為不可使用的旋轉刀片1僅無法使用於基於所設定的製程配方之劃線中,並非為已到達使用壽命的不可使用品。因此,亦有在設定另一個製程 配方之情形時可使用的情況。 When it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is not suitable for executing the set process recipe (NO in step S10), as in the case described above, the monitor 258 is caused to display the warning display that the rotary blade 1 is unusable, and is issued. It is prohibited to perform a signal for the scribing operation (locking the scribing operation) using the rotary blade 1 (step S6). Accordingly, the scribing device 200 notifies that the rotary blade 1 is unusable, and cannot use the rotary blade 1 to perform scribing. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent, for example, misuse of the rotary blade 1 based on the set process recipe. The occurrence of a scribe defect or the like caused by the rotation of the blade 1 by the wire. Further, in this case, the rotary blade 1 judged to be unusable cannot be used only in the scribe line based on the set process recipe, and is not an unusable item that has reached the end of its service life. Therefore, there is also setting up another process. The situation that can be used in the case of a recipe.

如上所述,於判斷為旋轉刀片1不適於執行所設定之製程配方之情形時,亦仍必需準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。 As described above, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is not suitable for executing the set process recipe, it is necessary to prepare another blade holder and re-read the code (steps S7, S8, S2).

另一方面,於判斷為旋轉刀片1適於執行所設定之製程配方之情形時(在步驟S10中為是),控制部251進行如下運算處理,即,根據製程配方的設定內容,而運算出將基於該製程配方之劃線進行到最後為止時的各刀片參數之增加值,此外,將該增加值與使用歷程資料D2中所記載之各刀片參數的累計值相加(步驟S11)。藉此獲得的值成為劃線結束後可能到達的刀片參數之累計值(稱為預計到達值)。於此情形時,僅關於下側劃線頭30B中所使用的旋轉刀片1,使刀片參數的運算值乘以加權係數k之後進行加法運算。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is suitable for executing the set process recipe (YES in step S10), the control unit 251 performs the following arithmetic processing, that is, calculation based on the setting contents of the process recipe The value of each blade parameter at the time of the end of the line drawing based on the process recipe is added, and the added value is added to the integrated value of each blade parameter described in the use history data D2 (step S11). The value thus obtained becomes the cumulative value of the blade parameters that may be reached after the end of the scribing (referred to as the estimated arrival value). In this case, only the rotary blade 1 used in the lower scribing head 30B is multiplied by the weighting coefficient k and then added.

而且,控制部251將該預計到達值、與製程配方資料D1中所記載之建議更換值V1進行比較,而判斷作為使用對象之旋轉刀片1在劃線處理中是否達到建議更換狀態(步驟S12)。 Further, the control unit 251 compares the estimated arrival value with the recommended replacement value V1 described in the process recipe data D1, and determines whether the rotary blade 1 to be used has reached the recommended replacement state in the scribing process (step S12). .

更詳細而言,就基於製程配方進行劃線而言,換而言之,係指可根據製程配方之設定內容來特定出該劃線的具體動作內容,也就是使劃線頭30下降而使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸的次數、或旋轉刀片1的移行距離等。亦即,藉由解析製程配方之記載內容,即使實際上不進行劃線亦可以算出根據該製程配方進行劃線時的各刀片參數之增加值。若獲得該增加值,則如上所述,在實際上進行劃線之前可以求出劃線處理後的各刀片參數之預計到達值。 More specifically, in terms of scribing based on the process recipe, in other words, the specific action content of the scribing can be specified according to the setting content of the process recipe, that is, the scribing head 30 is lowered. The number of times the rotary blade 1 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P, or the travel distance of the rotary blade 1, and the like. That is, by analyzing the contents of the process recipe, even if the scribing is not actually performed, the added value of each blade parameter when scribing according to the process recipe can be calculated. When the added value is obtained, as described above, the estimated arrival value of each blade parameter after the scribing process can be obtained before the scribing is actually performed.

圖13係用於對基於製程配方算出刀片參數之增加值的方式進行說明的圖。例如,如圖13所示,考慮設定如下製程配方的情況:對100塊脆性材料基板P進行在X軸方向對X1~X6的6個部位(移行距離L1)以內切進行劃線後,在Y軸方向上亦對Y1~Y6的6個部位(移行距 離L2)以內切進行劃線這一處理。 Fig. 13 is a view for explaining a method of calculating an added value of a blade parameter based on a process recipe. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, it is considered that the following process recipes are set: six pieces of brittle material substrate P are subjected to end-cutting in six directions (transition distance L1) of X1 to X6 in the X-axis direction, and then in Y. 6 parts of Y1~Y6 in the axial direction (moving distance) The treatment of scribing is performed by incision from L2).

於此情形時,因為針對100塊脆性材料基板P各有12次的碰撞,故而旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數為1200次;因為全部為內切,故而外切的次數為0次;因為僅於在X6之劃線後進行Y1之劃線時、及在Y6之劃線結束後對下一塊脆性材料基板P進行X1之劃線時才會產生扭轉,故而扭轉的次數為200次;X軸移行距離成為600L1(m),Y軸移行距離成為600L2(m),總移行距離成為600(L1+L2)(m)。 In this case, since there are 12 collisions for each of the 100 brittle material substrates P, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P is 1200 times; since all are inscribed, the number of circumcisions is 0 times. Since the twisting of the next brittle material substrate P by X1 is performed only after the scribing of Y1 after the X6 scribing, and when the scribing of the next brittle material substrate P is performed by X1, the number of twisting is 200 times. The X-axis travel distance becomes 600L1 (m), the Y-axis travel distance becomes 600L2 (m), and the total travel distance becomes 600 (L1 + L2) (m).

於此情形時,假設在預計到達值的運算中應用圖7所示之第1使用歷程資料D2α中所記載之累計值,則在判斷旋轉刀片1是否達到建議更換狀態時,關於各刀片參數,對以下的2個數值進行比較。 In this case, if the cumulative value described in the first use history data D2α shown in FIG. 7 is applied to the calculation of the estimated arrival value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the recommended replacement state with respect to each blade parameter. Compare the following two values.

旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P之碰撞次數:預計到達值=a1+...+an+1200,建議更換值V1=V1a;外切之次數:預計到達值=b1+...+bn,建議更換值V1=V1b;扭轉之次數:預計到達值=c1+...+cn+200,建議更換值V1=V1c;X軸方向移行距離:預計到達值=d1+...+dn+600L1,建議更換值V1=V1d;Y軸方向移行距離:預計到達值=e1+...+en+600L2,建議更換值V1=V1e;總移行距離:預計到達值=(d1+e1)...+(dn+en)+600(L1+L2),建議更換值V1=V1f。 Number of collisions between the rotating blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P: estimated arrival value = a 1 + ... + a n + 1200, recommended replacement value V1 = V1a; number of external cuts: estimated arrival value = b 1 +... +b n , recommended replacement value V1=V1b; number of twists: estimated arrival value = c 1 +...+c n +200, recommended replacement value V1=V1c; X-axis direction travel distance: estimated arrival value = d 1 +...+d n +600L1, recommended replacement value V1=V1d; Y-axis direction travel distance: estimated arrival value = e 1 +...+e n +600L2, recommended replacement value V1=V1e; total travel distance: The expected arrival value = (d 1 + e 1 ) ... + (d n + e n ) + 600 (L1 + L2), it is recommended to replace the value V1 = V1f.

比較之結果為,即使在預計到達值大於建議更換值V1的刀片參數僅存在1個之情形時,控制部251亦判斷為作為使用對象之旋轉刀片 1在劃線處理中達到建議更換狀態(在步驟S12中為是),使監視器258顯示建議更換已讀取代碼14之旋轉刀片1的顯示(建議更換顯示)(步驟S13)。藉此,告知該旋轉刀片1處於建議更換狀態。 As a result of the comparison, even if there is only one blade parameter whose estimated arrival value is larger than the recommended replacement value V1, the control unit 251 determines that the rotary blade is the target to be used. 1 A recommended replacement state is reached in the scribing process (YES in step S12), and the monitor 258 is caused to display a display (recommended replacement display) of the rotary blade 1 suggesting replacement of the read code 14 (step S13). Thereby, the rotary blade 1 is informed that it is in the recommended replacement state.

於已進行建議更換顯示之情形時,操作人員通常判斷為必需更換旋轉刀片1(在步驟S14中為是),準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。藉此,可確實地避免產生劃線不良。 When the recommended replacement display has been made, the operator usually judges that it is necessary to replace the rotary blade 1 (YES in step S14), prepare another blade holder and reread the code (steps S7, S8, S2). Thereby, it is possible to surely avoid occurrence of scribing defects.

另一方面,於判斷為作為使用對象之旋轉刀片1在劃線處理中未達到建議更換狀態之情形時(在步驟S12中為否),將保持該旋轉刀片1之刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20上(步驟S15)。再者,在該刀片保持具10已安裝於保持具接頭20上之情形時,對該情況進行確認。 On the other hand, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 to be used does not reach the recommended replacement state in the scribing process (NO in step S12), the blade holder 10 holding the rotary blade 1 is mounted on the hold. The connector 20 is provided (step S15). Furthermore, this case is confirmed when the blade holder 10 has been attached to the holder joint 20.

而且,亦有儘管已進行建議更換顯示但根據操作人員的判斷並未進行更換的情況(在步驟S14中為否),於此情形時,亦將刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭上。例如,如上所述經運算而得之累計值僅略大於建議更換值V1,判斷為產生劃線不良的可能性較低的情況等係屬於上述情況。 Further, there is a case where the replacement display is performed but the replacement is not performed according to the judgment of the operator (NO in step S14), and in this case, the blade holder 10 is also attached to the holder joint. For example, the cumulative value obtained by the above calculation is only slightly larger than the recommended replacement value V1, and it is determined that the possibility that the scribe line defect is low is the same.

若將刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20上,則在進行省略了細節之眾所周知的對準處理或初始處理之後,控制部251發出指示基於所設定之製程配方執行劃線處理的信號(步驟S16)。劃線裝置200響應該執行指示信號,開始基於製程配方進行劃線(步驟S17)。 If the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20, the control unit 251 issues a signal indicating that the scribing process is performed based on the set process recipe after performing the well-known alignment process or initial processing in which the details are omitted (steps). S16). The scribing device 200 starts scribing based on the process recipe in response to the execution instruction signal (step S17).

具體而言,夾緊機構驅動部255、第1劃線頭驅動部256、及第2劃線頭驅動部257根據製程配方之記載內容而使各自對應的夾緊機構220、上側劃線機構231、及下側劃線機構232運行,藉此實現基於製程配方之一系列的劃線動作。 Specifically, the clamp mechanism drive unit 255, the first scribing head drive unit 256, and the second scribing head drive unit 257 each have a corresponding clamp mechanism 220 and an upper scribing mechanism 231 in accordance with the contents of the process recipe. And the lower scribing mechanism 232 operates to realize a scribing action based on a series of process recipes.

再者,於劃線裝置200之情形時,在下側劃線機構232中,為了使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸,而使下側劃線頭30B上升,但因為脆性材料基板P與旋轉刀片1的相對位置關係係與上側劃線機構231 所具備之上側劃線頭30A的情況相同,故而於本實施形態中,為了方便起見,下側劃線頭30B的脆性材料基板P與旋轉刀片1的接觸形態亦表現為「使劃線頭30下降」。 Further, in the case of the scribing device 200, in the lower scribing mechanism 232, in order to bring the rotary blade 1 into contact with the brittle material substrate P, the lower scribing head 30B is raised, but the brittle material substrate P and the rotation are caused. The relative positional relationship of the blade 1 is the upper side scribing mechanism 231 Since the upper side scribing head 30A is provided in the same manner, in the present embodiment, the contact form of the brittle material substrate P of the lower scribing head 30B and the rotary blade 1 is also expressed as "a scribing head" for the sake of convenience. 30 drops."

若製程配方所設定之劃線動作全部完成因而劃線處理結束(步驟S18),則根據該劃線處理之內容而更新使用歷程(步驟S19)。具體而言,針對使用歷程資料D2,追加記載在開始劃線前運算出之、因進行該劃線處理而產生的各刀片參數之增加值以及進行劃線之日期,且先前記載之累計值被改寫為利用上述運算而獲得的預計到達值。 When the scribing operation set by the process recipe is completed and the scribing process is completed (step S18), the use history is updated in accordance with the content of the scribing process (step S19). Specifically, for the use history data D2, the added value of each blade parameter generated by the scribing process and the date of the scribing generated by the scribing process are added, and the previously recorded cumulative value is added. Rewritten to the estimated arrival value obtained by the above operation.

若使用歷程被更新,則控制部251使監視器258顯示用於輸入有無執行基於另一個製程配方之劃線的選單(步驟S20)。於選擇以另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為是),返回至步驟S5,之後重複進行與上述相同的處理。於選擇不以另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為否),一系列的處理結束。 If the usage history is updated, the control unit 251 causes the monitor 258 to display a menu for inputting whether or not to execute a scribing based on another recipe (step S20). When the selection of the scribing with another process recipe is selected (YES in step S20), the process returns to step S5, and the same processing as described above is repeated. When the case where the scribing is not performed with another process recipe is selected (NO in step S20), a series of processing ends.

如以上之說明所述,於本實施形態之劃線處理系統中,在進行劃線之前,利用讀碼器讀取標印於刀片保持具上之代碼,並將由該刀片保持具保持之旋轉刀片的管理編號與型式解碼,將已解碼的管理編號與使用歷程進行對照。該對照之結果,若於該管理編號之旋轉刀片已預先記錄作為達到使用極限之不可使用的旋轉刀片之情形時,劃線裝置進行禁止使用該旋轉刀片的顯示,並且在準備另一個刀片保持具之前禁止動作。藉此,可防止因使用已達到使用極限的旋轉刀片而導致劃線不良的情形發生。 As described above, in the scribing system of the present embodiment, before the scribing, the code reading the code on the blade holder is read by the reader, and the rotary blade held by the blade holder is rotated. The management number and type decoding, the decoded management number is compared with the usage history. As a result of the comparison, if the rotary blade of the management number has previously recorded the case of a rotating blade that is not usable to reach the use limit, the scribing device performs display prohibiting the use of the rotary blade, and prepares another blade holder Prohibited action before. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a poor scribing due to the use of the rotary blade that has reached the use limit.

再者,將已解碼的型式、與規定即將要進行之劃線處理之內容的製程配方資料中所記載之型式進行對照。該對照之結果,若於該旋轉刀片之型式未作為可使用之旋轉刀片的型式而記載於製程配方資料中之情形時,劃線裝置進行禁止使用該旋轉刀片的顯示,並且在準備另一個刀片保持具之前禁止動作。藉此,可防止因使用型式不適於執 行基於製程配方資料所設定之製程配方之旋轉刀片而導致的劃線不良的情形發生。 Further, the decoded type and the type described in the process recipe data defining the content of the scribing process to be performed are compared. As a result of the comparison, if the type of the rotary blade is not described in the process recipe data as the type of the rotary blade that can be used, the scribing device prohibits the display using the rotary blade and prepares another blade. Prohibit action before the holder. In this way, it is possible to prevent the use of the type from being unsuitable for The problem of poor scribing caused by the rotating blade of the process recipe set by the process recipe data occurs.

進而,關於各旋轉刀片,對其使用形態賦予特徵並且預先記錄影響使用壽命的參數亦即刀片參數的歷程,另一方面,於製程配方資料中,對應於各刀片參數根據製程配方資料中所記載之劃線內容而預先設定作為旋轉刀片更換標準的值、亦即建議更換值。而且,關於各刀片參數,將已根據製程配方進行劃線之情形時可能到達的累計值(預計到達值)、與建議更換值進行比較,當存在前者較大的刀片參數時,進行建議更換旋轉刀片的顯示。而且,考慮到與在上側劃線頭中使用的情況相比、在下側劃線頭中使用之情形時的使用負荷較大,從而僅於在下側劃線頭中使用旋轉刀片之情形時使刀片參數的增加值乘以加權係數。根據以上所述,可確實地防止在執行基於製程配方資料所設定的製程配方之情形時產生劃線不良。再者,因為根據製程配方的設定內容來決定建議更換值,故而能夠在可使用之範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片。 Further, with respect to each of the rotary blades, the characteristics of the use pattern are given, and the parameters affecting the service life, that is, the history of the blade parameters are recorded in advance, and on the other hand, in the process recipe data, the parameters corresponding to the respective blades are recorded according to the process recipe data. The value of the scribing content is set in advance as a value for the replacement of the rotary blade, that is, a recommended replacement value. Moreover, regarding each blade parameter, the cumulative value (estimated arrival value) that may have been reached when the line is drawn according to the process recipe is compared with the recommended replacement value, and when there is a larger blade parameter of the former, the recommended replacement rotation is performed. The display of the blade. Moreover, it is considered that the use load is large when used in the lower side scribing head as compared with the case of use in the upper side scribing head, so that the blade is used only when the rotating blade is used in the lower side scribing head The added value of the parameter is multiplied by the weighting factor. According to the above, it is possible to surely prevent the occurrence of the scribe defect when the process recipe based on the process recipe data is executed. Furthermore, since the recommended replacement value is determined according to the setting contents of the process recipe, the rotary blade can be effectively used within the usable range.

<第2實施形態> <Second embodiment>

於上述第1實施形態中,藉由基於所設定之製程配方的運算處理而進行各刀片參數之累計,但刀片參數之累計形態並不限定於上述形態。於本實施形態中,對基於實測值累計刀片參數之情形時的劃線處理的流程進行說明。然而,為了簡單說明,於本實施形態中,僅將之前所例示之刀片參數中的旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數、及旋轉刀片1的移行距離用於判斷是否需要更換旋轉刀片1。 In the first embodiment described above, the integration of the blade parameters is performed based on the arithmetic processing of the set process recipe, but the integrated form of the blade parameters is not limited to the above embodiment. In the present embodiment, the flow of the scribing process in the case where the blade parameters are accumulated based on the actual measurement values will be described. However, for the sake of simplicity, in the present embodiment, only the number of collisions of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P in the blade parameters exemplified above and the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 are used to determine whether or not the rotary blade 1 needs to be replaced. .

圖14及圖15係表示於本實施形態中在劃線裝置200上安裝刀片保持具10之後至劃線處理完成為止的處理流程的圖。 FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are views showing a flow of processing until the scribing process is completed after the blade holder 10 is attached to the scribing device 200 in the present embodiment.

如圖14所示,於本實施形態之劃線處理的前段部分,具體而言係準備刀片保持具10之後,直到基於已從代碼14解碼之管理編號或型 式來判斷旋轉刀片1是否可使用之前的步驟(步驟S1~S10)與第1實施形態相同。 As shown in FIG. 14, in the front portion of the scribing process of the present embodiment, specifically, after the blade holder 10 is prepared, it is up to the management number or type based on the code decoded from the code 14. The procedure (steps S1 to S10) before determining whether or not the rotary blade 1 is usable is the same as that of the first embodiment.

然而,於本實施形態之情形時,在藉由對照型式而判斷為旋轉刀片1適於執行所設定之製程配方的時間點(在步驟S10中為是),將刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20上(步驟S15)。再者,在該刀片保持具10已安裝於保持具接頭20上之情形時,對該情況進行確認。而且,若刀片保持具10安裝於保持具接頭20上,則在進行眾所周知的對準處理或初始處理之後,控制部251發出指示基於所設定之製程配方執行劃線處理的信號(步驟S16)。 However, in the case of the present embodiment, when it is determined by the comparison pattern that the rotary blade 1 is suitable for executing the set process recipe (YES in step S10), the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder. On the joint 20 (step S15). Furthermore, this case is confirmed when the blade holder 10 has been attached to the holder joint 20. Further, if the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20, after performing well-known alignment processing or initial processing, the control portion 251 issues a signal indicating that the scribing process is executed based on the set recipe recipe (step S16).

劃線裝置200響應該執行指示信號,開始基於製程配方進行劃線(步驟S17),但於本實施形態中,在開始進行該劃線之同時,劃線裝置200實測刀片參數,此外,將刀片參數之實測值(參數實測值)逐次地傳送給控制部251。控制部251於每次獲取參數實測值時,將參數實測值與使用歷程資料D2中所記載之各刀片參數之前的累計值相加(步驟S101)。再者,於此情形時,僅對於下側劃線頭30B上所使用的旋轉刀片1,在使參數實測值乘以加權係數k之後進行相加。 The scribing device 200 starts scribing based on the process recipe in response to the execution instruction signal (step S17). However, in the present embodiment, the scribing device 200 measures the blade parameters while starting the scribing, and further, the blade is The measured value of the parameter (the measured value of the parameter) is sequentially transmitted to the control unit 251. The control unit 251 adds the parameter actual value to the integrated value before each blade parameter described in the use history data D2 each time the parameter actual value is acquired (step S101). Further, in this case, only the rotating blade 1 used on the lower scribing head 30B is added after multiplying the parameter measured value by the weighting coefficient k.

例如,就上側劃線頭30A中所使用之旋轉刀片1而言,關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數,係於每次藉由劃線頭之升降動作而使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時,在之前的累計值上加上「1」。而且,關於旋轉刀片1之移行距離,每當進行向X軸方向或Y軸方向之劃線動作時,將此時的旋轉刀片1之移行距離加上之前的累計值。 For example, in the case of the rotary blade 1 used in the upper scribing head 30A, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P is such that the rotary blade 1 and the brittleness are caused by the lifting operation of the scribing head each time. When the material substrate P is in contact, "1" is added to the previous integrated value. Further, regarding the travel distance of the rotary blade 1, each time the scribing operation in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction is performed, the travel distance of the rotary insert 1 at this time is added to the previous integrated value.

於進行劃線動作期間,控制部251在每次將刀片參數相加時,均會將對各刀片參數進行相加後的值與製程配方資料D1中所記載之建議更換值V1進行比較,根據任一個刀片參數大於建議更換值V1來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到建議更換狀態(步驟S102)。 During the scribing operation, the control unit 251 compares the values of the respective blade parameters with the recommended replacement value V1 described in the process recipe data D1 each time the blade parameters are added, according to Any one of the blade parameters is larger than the recommended replacement value V1 to judge whether the rotary blade 1 has reached the recommended replacement state (step S102).

於未達到建議更換狀態(在步驟S102中為否),且進行劃線期間(在步驟S103中為否),重複進行該等參數的相加、及與建議更換值V1的比較。 If the recommended replacement state is not reached (NO in step S102), and the scribing period is performed (NO in step S103), the addition of the parameters and the comparison with the recommended replacement value V1 are repeated.

另一方面,於執行劃線期間,在任一個刀片參數大於建議更換值V1而成為建議更換狀態之情形時(在步驟S102中為是),控制部251使監視器258顯示建議更換劃線中使用之旋轉刀片1的顯示(建議更換顯示)(步驟S104)。藉此,告知該旋轉刀片1處於建議更換狀態。然而,於此時間點劃線動作仍在繼續。 On the other hand, during the execution of the scribing, when any of the blade parameters is larger than the recommended replacement value V1 and becomes the recommended replacement state (YES in step S102), the control unit 251 causes the monitor 258 to display the use of the recommended replacement scribing line. The display of the rotary blade 1 (recommended replacement display) (step S104). Thereby, the rotary blade 1 is informed that it is in the recommended replacement state. However, the dotted line action continues at this time.

若進行建議更換顯示,則操作人員判斷是否更換旋轉刀片1(步驟S105)。於進行更換之情形時(在步驟S105中為是),停止劃線(步驟S106),準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。 藉此,避免產生劃線不良。 When the recommended replacement display is performed, the operator determines whether or not to replace the rotary blade 1 (step S105). When the replacement is performed (YES in step S105), the scribing is stopped (step S106), another blade holder is prepared and the code is re-read (steps S7, S8, S2). Thereby, it is avoided to cause poor scribing.

於儘管已進行建議更換顯示但並未更換旋轉刀片1之情形時(在步驟S105中為否)、或旋轉刀片1本來並未成為建議更換狀態之情形時,若製程配方中所設定之劃線動作全部完成,則劃線處理結束(在步驟S18、步驟S103中為是)。而且,藉由在此時間點下將各刀片參數相加而更新使用歷程資料D2的累計值(步驟S19)。 In the case where the recommended replacement display has been performed but the rotary blade 1 has not been replaced (NO in step S105), or the rotary blade 1 is not in the recommended replacement state, if the line is set in the process recipe When the operations are all completed, the scribing process ends (YES in steps S18 and S103). Moreover, the accumulated value of the usage history data D2 is updated by adding the blade parameters at this point of time (step S19).

再者,關於儘管已進行建議更換顯示但並未進行旋轉刀片1之更換的情況,符合的有因剩餘批次數很少等理由而判斷為劃線處理結束之時間點下的刀片參數之累計值略大於建議更換值V1的情況等、判斷為產生劃線不良的可能性較低的情況。 In addition, in the case where the replacement of the rotary blade 1 has not been performed, the replacement of the rotary blade 1 is not performed, and the cumulative value of the blade parameter at the time point when the completion of the scribing process is determined due to the fact that the number of remaining batches is small is satisfied. When it is slightly larger than the recommended replacement value V1, it is determined that the possibility of occurrence of a scribe defect is low.

若更新使用歷程,則控制部251使監視器258顯示用於輸入有無基於另一個製程配方執行劃線的選單(步驟S20)。於選擇按另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為是),返回至步驟S5,之後重複進行與上述相同的處理。於選擇不按另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為否),一系列的處理結束。 When the usage history is updated, the control unit 251 causes the monitor 258 to display a menu for inputting whether or not to perform scribing based on another recipe (step S20). When the selection of the scribing by another process recipe is selected (YES in step S20), the process returns to step S5, and the same processing as described above is repeated. When the case where the scribing is not performed in accordance with another process recipe is selected (NO in step S20), a series of processing ends.

如上所述,於本實施形態中,與根據製程配方之記載內容對刀片參數進行運算,並基於該運算結果來判斷旋轉刀片1是否處於建議更換狀態的第1實施形態的不同點在於:基於實際的劃線動作來判斷旋轉刀片1是否處於建議更換狀態。於第1實施形態中,若製程配方之設定內容複雜,則預計到達值的運算需要花費時間,故而有處理效率降低之可能性,但於本實施形態中,因為僅於劃線處理中重複進行加法運算處理,故而能在不降低處理效率的情況下進行劃線處理,且可確實地防止劃線不良的產生。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the first embodiment in which the blade parameter is calculated based on the description of the process recipe and the rotary blade 1 is in the recommended replacement state based on the calculation result is based on the actual situation. The scribing action determines whether the rotary blade 1 is in the recommended replacement state. In the first embodiment, if the setting content of the process recipe is complicated, it takes time to calculate the arrival value, and thus the processing efficiency may be lowered. However, in the present embodiment, it is repeated only in the scribing process. Since the addition processing is performed, the scribing process can be performed without lowering the processing efficiency, and the occurrence of the scribing defect can be surely prevented.

而且,於第1實施形態中,存在如下情況:即使為實際上未達到建議更換狀態的旋轉刀片1,亦會將預計到達值與建議更換值進行比較,結果在下次使用時達到建議更換狀態之情形時,於此時間點進行更換;但於本實施形態中,係於實際上達到建議更換狀態後才更換旋轉刀片1,故而可更有效地使用旋轉刀片1。 Further, in the first embodiment, there is a case where even if the rotary blade 1 that does not actually reach the recommended replacement state is compared, the estimated arrival value is compared with the recommended replacement value, and as a result, the recommended replacement state is reached at the next use. In this case, the replacement is performed at this point of time; however, in the present embodiment, the rotary blade 1 is replaced only after the recommended replacement state is actually reached, so that the rotary blade 1 can be used more effectively.

再者,刀片參數之實測可使用眾所周知的技術進行。關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數,例如可以為如下形態:在劃線頭30上設置有每當旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時會接通或斷開的繼電器(電接點),每當控制部251檢測到該接通/斷開信號時加上「1」;亦可以為如下形態:由伺服馬達構成劃線頭30的升降部31,每當檢測到旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時伺服馬達所產生的轉矩之上升時加上「1」。 Furthermore, the actual measurement of the blade parameters can be performed using well-known techniques. The number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P may be, for example, a configuration in which a relay (electrical connection) that is turned on or off each time the rotary blade 1 comes into contact with the brittle material substrate P is provided on the scribing head 30. In addition, "1" is added every time the control unit 251 detects the ON/OFF signal; it may be a configuration in which the lift unit 31 of the scribing head 30 is constituted by a servo motor, and the rotary blade 1 is detected every time. When the brittle material substrate P is in contact with each other, the torque generated by the servo motor is increased by "1".

而且,關於旋轉刀片1之移行距離,在如劃線裝置200的Y軸方向的劃線動作般,於旋轉刀片1的相對移動係由線性馬達而實現之情形時,在其定子部分設置沿著轉子部分的移動方向的線性比例尺,並且若在劃線頭30相對移動時對其刻度部分進行掃描,則每單位長度會產生1個脈衝信號,根據所輸出的脈衝信號數算出移行距離便可。 Further, regarding the traveling distance of the rotary blade 1, in the case of the scribing action in the Y-axis direction of the scribing device 200, when the relative movement of the rotary blade 1 is realized by a linear motor, the stator portion is disposed along the stator portion thereof. A linear scale of the moving direction of the rotor portion, and if the scale portion is scanned while the scribing head 30 is relatively moved, one pulse signal is generated per unit length, and the travel distance can be calculated from the number of output pulse signals.

或者,若在像旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P的相對移動係使 用滾珠螺桿而實現之情形時,則可利用未圖示的旋轉編碼器將馬達之旋轉軸的旋轉數轉變、輸出成脈衝信號,而且,利用編碼器計數器對所輸出的脈衝信號進行計數,藉此算出移行距離。 Or, if the relative movement of the image rotating blade 1 with respect to the brittle material substrate P is made When it is realized by a ball screw, the number of rotations of the rotary shaft of the motor can be converted and output as a pulse signal by a rotary encoder (not shown), and the output pulse signal can be counted by the encoder counter. This calculates the travel distance.

如以上之說明所述,即使於本實施形態中,亦與第1實施形態同樣地,可基於從標印於刀片保持具上之代碼解碼而得的由該刀片保持具保持之旋轉刀片的管理編號與型式,來判定能否使用旋轉刀片。 As described above, even in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the management of the rotary blade held by the blade holder can be performed based on the code decoded from the blade holder. Number and type to determine whether the rotary blade can be used.

此外,關於各旋轉刀片,對其使用形態賦予特徵,且基於實測值而將對使用壽命造成影響的參數亦即刀片參數進行累計,並且,基於針對記載有劃線處理內容之每個製程配方而決定的各刀片參數的相關建議更換值,而特定出用於劃線之旋轉刀片是否已達到建議更換狀態。而且,考慮到與在上側劃線頭中使用的情況相比在下側劃線頭中使用之情形時的使用負荷較大,而僅於在下側劃線頭中使用旋轉刀片之情形時使刀片參數之實測值乘以加權係數。藉此,可確實地防止在執行製程配方之情形時產生劃線不良。而且,因為根據製程配方之設定內容而決定建議更換值,故而能夠在可使用之範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片。 Further, with respect to each of the rotary blades, a feature is given to the shape of use thereof, and a parameter which affects the service life, that is, a blade parameter is accumulated based on the actual measurement value, and based on each process recipe for the content in which the scribing process is described. Determine the recommended replacement value for each blade parameter and specify whether the rotating blade for scribing has reached the recommended replacement state. Moreover, it is considered that the use load is large when used in the lower side scribing head compared to the case used in the upper side scribing head, and the blade parameter is used only when the rotating blade is used in the lower side scribing head The measured value is multiplied by the weighting factor. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent the occurrence of the scribe defect when the process recipe is executed. Further, since the recommended replacement value is determined according to the setting contents of the process recipe, the rotary blade can be effectively used within the usable range.

<變化例> <variation>

於上述說明中,獨立地說明了第1實施形態之劃線處理與第2實施形態之劃線處理,但該等劃線處理並非相背的,而是可同時並行地進行。於此情形時,亦可以根據刀片參數的種類而區分使用各劃線處理。例如,亦可以如下所述:關於基於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數或移行距離的建議更換狀態的判斷,應用第2實施形態之劃線處理,基於實測進行,另一方面,關於基於外切之次數或扭轉之次數的建議更換狀態的判斷,應用第1實施形態之劃線處理,基於預計到達值進行。 In the above description, the scribing process of the first embodiment and the scribing process of the second embodiment have been independently described. However, the scribing processes are not reversed, but can be performed simultaneously in parallel. In this case, it is also possible to distinguish between the respective scribing processes depending on the type of the blade parameters. For example, the determination of the recommended replacement state based on the number of collisions or the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P may be applied to the scribing process according to the second embodiment, based on actual measurement, and on the other hand, The determination of the recommended replacement state based on the number of times of the circumcision or the number of times of twisting is performed by applying the scribing process of the first embodiment based on the estimated arrival value.

於上述第2實施形態中,在劃線處理時實測刀片參數,但在對準 處理時、或在手動操作進行之測試劃線時等亦可以實測該刀片參數。於此情形時,因為使用歷程資料D2中所記錄之刀片參數的累計值與實際的刀片參數的值較為接近,故而可更嚴格地判斷是否需要更換旋轉刀片。再者,於第1實施形態之情形時,此種應對亦並非不可能,但亦未必現實。 In the second embodiment described above, the blade parameters are actually measured during the scribing process, but in alignment The blade parameters can also be measured during processing, or during test scribing by manual operation. In this case, since the cumulative value of the blade parameters recorded in the usage history data D2 is close to the value of the actual blade parameter, it is possible to judge more strictly whether or not the rotary blade needs to be replaced. Furthermore, in the case of the first embodiment, such a response is not impossible, but it is not necessarily realistic.

於第2實施形態之情形時,刀片參數之累計值幾乎是即時更新。亦可以利用此種方式將該累計值即時顯示在監視器258中。於此情形時,因為操作人員可以視認刀片參數接近建議更換值V1的狀況,故而可以事先進行更換的準備。於此情形時,亦可以為遞減(count down)方式顯示達到建議更換值V1之前的刀片參數之值的形態。 In the case of the second embodiment, the cumulative value of the blade parameters is almost instantaneously updated. The accumulated value can also be instantly displayed on the monitor 258 in this manner. In this case, since the operator can recognize that the blade parameter is close to the recommended replacement value V1, the replacement can be prepared in advance. In this case, the form of the value of the blade parameter before the recommended replacement value V1 is displayed in a countdown manner.

於上述情形時,亦可以為使用如下劃線裝置的形態,該劃線裝置對脆性材料基板P之一個面進行劃線的旋轉刀片僅有1個,藉由對同一面設置複數個劃線頭而對該面之複數個部位同時進行劃線。於此情形時,上述之能否使用的判斷或更換的判斷係根據安裝於各劃線頭上的旋轉刀片而分別進行。 In the above case, it is also possible to use a scribing device in which only one rotating blade is scribed on one surface of the brittle material substrate P, and a plurality of scribing heads are provided on the same surface. A plurality of portions of the surface are simultaneously scribed. In this case, the judgment of whether or not the above-described use can be judged or replaced is performed separately according to the rotary blades attached to the respective scribing heads.

劃線處理系統亦可以包含自動更換保持具接頭20上所安裝之刀片保持具10的器件(保持具自動更換器件)。於此情形時,較佳為響應旋轉刀片1不可使用或處於建議更換狀態被告知給控制部251,由保持具自動更換器件更換刀片保持具10。 The scribing system can also include means for automatically replacing the blade holder 10 mounted on the holder joint 20 (holding device). In this case, it is preferable to notify the control portion 251 in response to the unusable or in the recommended replacement state of the rotary blade 1, and the blade holder 10 is replaced by the holder automatic change device.

再者,於上述實施形態中,僅於在下側劃線頭30B中使用旋轉刀片1時使刀片參數的增加值乘以加權係數k,但亦可以取而代之,僅於在上側劃線頭30A中使用旋轉刀片1時使刀片參數的增加值乘以小於1的係數。於此情形時,亦可以獲得與所述實施形態相同的效果。 Further, in the above embodiment, the increase value of the blade parameter is multiplied by the weighting coefficient k only when the rotary blade 1 is used in the lower scribing head 30B, but may be used only in the upper scribing head 30A instead. Rotating the blade 1 multiplies the added value of the blade parameter by a factor less than one. In this case as well, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.
