Description
本發明是有關於一種切削裝置。 The invention relates to a cutting device.
在半導體元件製造步驟以及各種電子零件的製造步驟中，將稱為切割鋸(dicing saw)之極薄的切削刀高速旋轉以將工件分割成一個個製品與晶片的切削裝置是不可或缺的。在這種切削裝置中，是將由黏合材料以及富含於黏合材料中之微小研磨粒(金鋼石以及SiC等)所構成之刀鋒厚度20~300μm的切削刀高速旋轉，以用微米等級(micron level)將工件(半導體晶圓以及玻璃、CSP與BGA等樹脂基板、陶瓷等)的分割預定線粉碎去除，使其分割成一個個製品或晶片。 In the semiconductor element manufacturing step and the manufacturing steps of various electronic parts, it is indispensable to rotate a very thin cutting blade called a dicing saw at a high speed to divide the workpiece into individual products and wafer cutting devices. In this cutting device, a cutter having a blade thickness of 20 to 300 μm composed of a bonding material and a minute abrasive grain (such as diamond and SiC) rich in a binder is rotated at a high speed to use a micron rating (micron). Level) The predetermined dividing line of the workpiece (semiconductor wafer and glass, resin substrate such as CSP and BGA, ceramics, etc.) is pulverized and removed, and is divided into individual products or wafers.
工件之中，也有加工後的元件晶片即使在處理上比較粗暴也不致產生問題者。例如，CSP與BGA等之樹脂基板或陶瓷基板等就能適用於此。作為加工CSP與BGA等樹脂基板或陶瓷基板等的切削裝置，也有直接將基板固定在夾頭台上，分割後直接搬送晶片，洗淨後存放在盒體等中的無膠帶式(tapeless)切削裝置(參照例如，專利文獻1)。 此時，因為通常使用的切割膠帶變得不需要，所以可減少耗材、減少黏貼工時、降低成本。 Among the workpieces, there are also processed component wafers that do not cause problems even if they are rough in processing. For example, a resin substrate such as CSP or BGA, a ceramic substrate, or the like can be applied to this. As a cutting device for processing a resin substrate such as a CSP or a BGA or a ceramic substrate, there is also a tapeless cutting in which the substrate is directly fixed to the chuck table, the wafer is directly transferred after being divided, and the substrate is washed and stored in a case or the like. Device (refer to, for example, Patent Document 1). At this time, since the commonly used dicing tape becomes unnecessary, the consumables can be reduced, the sticking time can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

又，在切削裝置1之裝置本體2中，是將用於收容晶片T之晶片盒100配置成可裝卸式。晶片盒100被安裝在裝置本體2時，是包夾搬出入區域O而與加工區域P被定位在相 反側。晶片盒100是鄰接於X軸移動機構30之搬出入區域O側的端部而配置。晶片盒100與X軸移動機構30之搬出入區域O側的端部是排列在X軸方向上。晶片盒100，如圖3所示，於比夾頭台10之吸引保持部11的保持面11a還低的位置形成開口。晶片盒100是由網狀的構件所構成，並形成於上方作出開口，亦即上方設有開口100a，的盒體狀。 Further, in the apparatus main body 2 of the cutting apparatus 1, the wafer cassette 100 for accommodating the wafer T is placed in a detachable type. When the wafer cassette 100 is mounted on the apparatus body 2, the package is carried in and out of the area O and the processing area P is positioned in the phase. Reverse side. The wafer cassette 100 is disposed adjacent to the end of the X-axis moving mechanism 30 on the side of the loading/unloading area O. The end portions of the wafer cassette 100 and the X-axis moving mechanism 30 on the loading/unloading area O side are arranged in the X-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the wafer cassette 100 is formed at an opening lower than the holding surface 11a of the suction holding portion 11 of the chuck table 10. The wafer cassette 100 is composed of a mesh member and is formed in a box shape in which an opening is formed in the upper side, that is, an opening 100a is provided.
晶片盒100之開口100a是設定在比引導盤70之延伸部72的前端還低的位置上。亦即，將引導盤70之延伸部72的前端是設定在比晶片盒100之開口100a還高的位置上。又，晶片盒100之開口100a具有使鄰接於X軸移動機構30之端部以遮蓋X軸移動機構30的方式朝向夾頭台10突伸的突伸部101。亦即，突伸部101是將晶片盒100之開口100a附近的端部，以遮蓋X軸移動機構30的方式延著X軸方向朝向夾頭台10突伸。 The opening 100a of the wafer cassette 100 is set at a position lower than the front end of the extending portion 72 of the guide tray 70. That is, the front end of the extending portion 72 of the guide tray 70 is set at a position higher than the opening 100a of the wafer cassette 100. Further, the opening 100a of the wafer cassette 100 has a projection portion 101 that protrudes toward the chuck table 10 so as to cover the X-axis moving mechanism 30 at an end portion adjacent to the X-axis moving mechanism 30. That is, the protruding portion 101 protrudes toward the chuck table 10 in the X-axis direction so as to cover the X-axis moving mechanism 30 so as to cover the X-axis moving mechanism 30.
此外，晶片盒100之設有開口100a的突伸部101，如圖3(c)所示，在從搬出入區域O往加工區域P移動之夾頭台10通過晶片吹送噴嘴61的下方之前，會與引導盤70之延伸部72的前端在Z軸方向上重疊而形成相互重疊。亦即，在本實施型態中，至少在從搬出入區域O往加工區域P移動之夾頭台10通過晶片吹送噴嘴61的下方之前，引導盤70之延伸部72的前端與晶片盒100之開口100a是相互重疊的。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3(c), the projection portion 101 of the wafer cassette 100 having the opening 100a is passed before the wafer feed nozzle 61 is moved from the loading/unloading region O to the processing region P. The front ends of the extending portions 72 of the guide tray 70 are overlapped in the Z-axis direction to form a mutual overlap. That is, in the present embodiment, the leading end of the extending portion 72 of the guide tray 70 and the wafer cassette 100 are at least before the chuck table 10 moving from the loading/unloading region O to the processing region P passes under the wafer blowing nozzle 61. The openings 100a are overlapped with each other.
控制機構是分別控制構成切削裝置1之上述構成要素，以使對工件W之分割加工在切削裝置1上執行者。再者，控制機構是由例如，以CPU等所構成之演算處理裝置 或具有ROM、RAM等之圖未示出的微處理器(microprocessor)作為主體而構成，並和顯示加工動作狀態與前述影像等之顯示機構100，及操作員在登錄加工內容資訊等之時所使用的圖未示出之操作機構連接。 The control means controls the constituent elements constituting the cutting apparatus 1 so as to perform the division processing of the workpiece W on the cutting apparatus 1. Furthermore, the control mechanism is an arithmetic processing device composed of, for example, a CPU or the like. Or a microprocessor (not shown) such as a ROM or a RAM is configured as a main body, and the display unit 100 that displays the processing operation state and the video, and the operator, when registering the processed content information, etc. The operating mechanism shown in the figure is not shown.
接著，將就使用實施形態之切削裝置1的工件W的分割加工進行說明。在操作員將加工內容資訊登錄至控制機構，且已由操作員發出加工動作之開始指示時，切削裝置1即開始加工動作。在進行加工動作時，控制機構會驅動X軸移動機構30，以將夾頭台10定位到搬出入區域O。操作員將工件W載置於定位在搬出入區域O之夾頭台10的保持面11a上時，控制機構會通過吸引孔14將工件W吸引保持於夾頭台10的保持面11a上。再者，控制機構會停止從晶片移動機構60之晶片吹送噴嘴61的噴射孔62的流體F噴射。 Next, the division processing of the workpiece W using the cutting apparatus 1 of the embodiment will be described. When the operator registers the processed content information to the control unit and the operator has issued an instruction to start the machining operation, the cutting device 1 starts the machining operation. When the machining operation is performed, the control mechanism drives the X-axis moving mechanism 30 to position the chuck table 10 to the carry-in area O. When the operator places the workpiece W on the holding surface 11a of the chuck table 10 positioned in the loading/unloading area O, the control mechanism sucks and holds the workpiece W on the holding surface 11a of the chuck table 10 through the suction hole 14. Further, the control mechanism stops the fluid F ejection from the ejection holes 62 of the wafer blowing nozzle 61 of the wafer moving mechanism 60.
接下來，控制機構以X軸移動機構30將夾頭台10從搬出入區域O向加工區域P移動，並將保持於夾頭台10之工件W定位於攝像機構80的下方，使其被攝像機構80拍攝。攝像機構80會將所拍攝之影像資訊輸出到控制機構。並且，控制機構會實行型樣匹配等影像處理，以進行保持於夾頭台10上之工件W的分割預定線L1、L2，與加工機構20之切削刀21的位置對齊作業，而在將保持於夾頭台10之工件W搬送到加工區域P後，調整保持於夾頭台10之工件W與加工機構20的相對位置。 Next, the control unit moves the chuck table 10 from the carry-in/out area O to the processing area P by the X-axis moving mechanism 30, and positions the workpiece W held by the chuck table 10 below the image pickup unit 80 to be imaged. The agency 80 takes a picture. The camera mechanism 80 outputs the captured image information to the control mechanism. Further, the control unit performs image processing such as pattern matching to perform the division planned lines L1, L2 of the workpiece W held on the chuck table 10, and the position of the cutting blade 21 of the processing mechanism 20 is aligned, and will be maintained. After the workpiece W of the chuck table 10 is transported to the processing region P, the relative position of the workpiece W held by the chuck table 10 and the processing mechanism 20 is adjusted.
並且，控制機構會根據加工內容資訊，使切削刀21旋轉，以藉由切削刀21切削工件W之分割預定線L2。控 制機構在切削完分割預定線L2後，會以切削刀21切削工件W的分割預定線L1。在所有的分割預定線L1、L2上都實施過分割加工後，可將工件W分割成一個個晶片T。 Further, the control mechanism rotates the cutting blade 21 based on the machining content information to cut the planned dividing line L2 of the workpiece W by the cutting blade 21. control The cutting mechanism cuts the planned dividing line L1 of the workpiece W by the cutting blade 21 after the dividing line L2 is cut. After the division processing is performed on all of the division planned lines L1 and L2, the workpiece W can be divided into individual wafers T.
控制機構結束對所有分割預定線L1、L2的分割加工時，即停止加工機構20a、20b，並以X軸移動機構30使吸引保持著分割成一個個之複數個晶片T的夾頭台10，一直移動到搬出入區域O為止。並且，控制機構在夾頭台10到達搬出入區域O時，會停掉吸引源，以停止將所分割的一個個晶片T吸引保持的吸引力。 When the control means ends the division processing for all the division planned lines L1, L2, that is, the machining mechanisms 20a, 20b are stopped, and the X-axis moving mechanism 30 sucks and holds the chuck table 10 which is divided into a plurality of wafers T, respectively. Move until you move in and out of area O. Further, when the chuck table 10 reaches the carry-in/out area O, the control unit stops the suction source to stop the suction force that attracts and holds the divided ones of the wafers T.
之後，控制機構會進行驅動流體供給源等，以將加壓氣體以預定時間間歇性地供應到保持面11a之吸引孔14，並使其從保持面11a之吸引孔14噴射出來。並且，控制機構可藉由加壓氣體從夾頭台10確實地對已分割成一個個的複數個晶片T賦予震動，以使分割成一個個的複數個晶片T確實地脫離夾頭台10。 Thereafter, the control mechanism performs a driving fluid supply source or the like to intermittently supply the pressurized gas to the suction hole 14 of the holding surface 11a for a predetermined time, and ejects it from the suction hole 14 of the holding surface 11a. Further, the control means can positively impart vibration to the plurality of wafers T which have been divided into pieces by the pressurized gas from the chuck table 10, so that the plurality of wafers T divided into one piece are surely separated from the chuck stage 10.
控制機構在分割成一個個的複數個晶片T從夾頭台10之脫離結束時，會如圖3(a)所示，一邊使流體F從晶片吹送噴嘴61的噴射孔62噴射出來，一邊以X軸移動機構30使夾頭台10從搬出入區域O向加工區域P移動。於是，在夾頭台10的移動的同時，會如圖3(b)所示，從遠離晶片盒100側的晶片T開始依序地被吹向晶片盒100。被吹送之晶片T，可能直接被收容於晶片盒100，也可能在受到引導盤70導引後才被收容於晶片盒100。如圖3(c)所示，將所有的晶片T都從夾頭台10吹送走後，如圖3(d)所示，在夾頭台10通過晶 片吹送噴嘴61的下方時，控制機構會停止晶片移動機構60，並停止從晶片吹送噴嘴61之噴射孔62的流體F噴射。並且，操作員可如圖3(d)所示地，將晶片盒100從裝置本體2卸下，以取出經由分割加工而得到的晶片T。並且，可與前述步驟相同地，對分割加工前的工件W實施分割加工。 When the control unit is separated from the chuck table 10 by the plurality of wafers T which are divided into one, the fluid F is ejected from the ejection holes 62 of the wafer blowing nozzle 61 as shown in Fig. 3(a). The X-axis moving mechanism 30 moves the chuck table 10 from the carry-in/out area O to the processing area P. Then, while the chuck stage 10 is moving, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the wafer cassette 100 is sequentially blown from the wafer T far from the wafer cassette 100 side. The wafer T to be blown may be directly accommodated in the wafer cassette 100 or may be housed in the wafer cassette 100 after being guided by the guide tray 70. As shown in FIG. 3(c), after all the wafers T are blown away from the chuck stage 10, as shown in FIG. 3(d), the wafers are passed through the chuck stage 10. When the sheet blowing nozzle 61 is below, the control mechanism stops the wafer moving mechanism 60 and stops the fluid F ejection from the ejection orifice 62 of the wafer blowing nozzle 61. Further, the operator can detach the wafer cassette 100 from the apparatus body 2 as shown in FIG. 3(d) to take out the wafer T obtained by the division processing. Further, the workpiece W before the division processing can be subjected to the division processing in the same manner as the above-described steps.
如上所述，本實施形態之切削裝置1是在，未配備所謂的手動式搬送機構，且不使用切割膠帶的情形下直接將工件W吸引保持於夾頭台10上者。切削裝置1在未配備所謂的手動式搬送機構之切削裝置中，藉由追加設置晶片吹送噴嘴61與晶片盒100等，就可以用便宜且節省空間的方式，作到直接搬送分割後之晶片T。藉此，切削裝置1可以做到用於從夾頭台10搬送已分割之晶片T的搬送機構的構造的簡易化，可以做到裝置本身之低成本化並可以抑制大型化。 As described above, the cutting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is not equipped with a so-called manual transport mechanism, and the workpiece W is directly sucked and held by the chuck table 10 without using a dicing tape. In the cutting device 1 in which the so-called manual transfer mechanism is not provided, by additionally providing the wafer blowing nozzle 61 and the wafer cassette 100, it is possible to directly transfer the divided wafer T by using an inexpensive and space-saving method. . Thereby, the cutting apparatus 1 can simplify the structure of the conveyance mechanism for conveying the divided wafer T from the chuck stage 10, and can reduce the cost of the apparatus itself and can suppress an increase in size.
此外，切削裝置1在將晶片T吹向晶片盒100之時，會有夾頭台10與晶片盒100分開的情形，因而設有將晶片T從夾頭台10導引向晶片盒100的引導盤70。切削裝置1在夾頭台10通過晶片吹送噴嘴61的下方之前，引導盤70之前端會與晶片盒100之開口100a相互重疊。因此，切削裝置1可以藉由引導盤70將從夾頭台10上吹送出來的晶片T確實地引導到晶片盒100去。 Further, when the cutting device 1 blows the wafer T toward the wafer cassette 100, the chuck table 10 is separated from the wafer cassette 100, and thus the guiding of the wafer T from the chuck table 10 to the wafer cassette 100 is provided. Disk 70. The cutting device 1 overlaps the front end of the guide disk 70 with the opening 100a of the wafer cassette 100 before the chuck table 10 passes under the wafer blowing nozzle 61. Therefore, the cutting device 1 can surely guide the wafer T blown from the chuck table 10 to the wafer cassette 100 by the guide disk 70.
此外，切削裝置1因為在晶片盒100之開口100a處具有朝向夾頭台10突伸的突伸部101，故可以將從夾頭台10上吹送出來的晶片T確實地收納在晶片盒100內。因此， 切削裝置1不必為了將夾頭台10上的晶片T收納於晶片盒100，而追加晶片吹送噴嘴61、引導盤70以及晶片盒100以外的設備。藉此，切削裝置1可以做到用於從夾頭台10搬送已分割之晶片T的搬送機構的構造的簡易化，並可以讓裝置本身低成本化與抑制大型化。 Further, since the cutting device 1 has the protruding portion 101 projecting toward the chuck table 10 at the opening 100a of the wafer cassette 100, the wafer T blown from the chuck table 10 can be surely accommodated in the wafer cassette 100. . therefore, The cutting device 1 does not need to add equipment other than the wafer blowing nozzle 61, the guide disk 70, and the wafer cassette 100 in order to store the wafer T on the chuck table 10 in the wafer cassette 100. As a result, the cutting device 1 can simplify the structure of the transport mechanism for transporting the divided wafer T from the chuck table 10, and can reduce the cost of the device itself and suppress the increase in size.
在前述之實施形態中，雖然將晶片吹送噴嘴61形成直線狀，但在本發明中，如圖4所示，從切削裝置1的平面視角來看，為了要讓兩端部比中央更位於從噴射孔62噴出的流體F之噴射方向的前方，而使晶片吹送噴嘴61的中央彎曲，以形成ㄑ字形亦可。再者，圖4所示是實施形態之變形例中的切削裝置之構成例的主要部位的立體圖，在圖4中，對與實施形態相同的部位，則是使用相同的符號而省略說明。 In the above-described embodiment, the wafer blowing nozzle 61 is formed in a linear shape. However, in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4, in order to make the both end portions more located from the center than the center of the cutting device 1, The front side of the ejection direction of the fluid F ejected from the ejection hole 62 may be bent in the center of the wafer blowing nozzle 61 to form a U-shape. In addition, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a main part of a configuration example of a cutting device in a modification of the embodiment, and in FIG. 4, the same portions as those in the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.
圖4中所示之晶片吹送噴嘴61因為形成ㄑ字形，所以是從兩端部之噴射孔62向晶片盒100的寬度之中央處噴射流體F。並且，晶片吹送噴嘴61可在不噴散晶片T的情形下，將其誘導向晶片盒100。因此，根據圖4所示之變形例，切削裝置1除了實施形態之效果外，還能做到將晶片T更確實地收納至晶片盒100中。 Since the wafer blowing nozzle 61 shown in FIG. 4 is formed in a U shape, the fluid F is ejected from the ejection holes 62 at both end portions toward the center of the width of the wafer cassette 100. Further, the wafer blowing nozzle 61 can induce the wafer T to the wafer cassette 100 without scattering the wafer T. Therefore, according to the modification shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the effects of the embodiment, the cutting apparatus 1 can more reliably store the wafer T in the wafer cassette 100.
又，在本發明中，除了晶片盒100之外，如圖5所示，也可以將邊材盒110做成可在裝置本體2上任意裝卸。再者，圖5所示為實施形態之其他變形例的切削裝置之構成例的主要部位的立體圖，在圖5中，對與實施形態相同的部位，則是使用相同的符號而省略說明。此外，圖5中， 雖然省略了晶片吹送噴嘴61，但圖5所示之切削裝置1是設有晶片吹送噴嘴61的。 Further, in the present invention, in addition to the wafer cassette 100, as shown in Fig. 5, the sapwood case 110 may be arbitrarily attached and detached to the apparatus main body 2. In addition, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a main part of a configuration example of a cutting device according to another modification of the embodiment, and in FIG. 5, the same portions as those of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In addition, in Figure 5, Although the wafer blowing nozzle 61 is omitted, the cutting device 1 shown in FIG. 5 is provided with the wafer blowing nozzle 61.
當將邊材盒110安裝至裝置本體2時，是鄰接於X軸移動機構30的加工區域P側的端部而配置。邊材盒110與X軸移動機構30之加工區域P側的端部是排列在X軸方向上。邊材盒110是在比夾頭台10之吸引保持部11的保持面11a還低的位置形成開口，並由網狀的構件所構成，以形成於上方做出開口，亦即上方設有開口110a，的盒體狀。 When the sapwood case 110 is attached to the apparatus body 2, it is disposed adjacent to the end portion of the X-axis moving mechanism 30 on the processing region P side. The end portions of the sapwood box 110 and the X-axis moving mechanism 30 on the processing region P side are arranged in the X-axis direction. The sapwood box 110 is formed at a position lower than the holding surface 11a of the suction holding portion 11 of the ram 10, and is formed of a mesh member to form an opening at the upper side, that is, an opening is provided above. 110a, the box shape.
此外，邊材盒110之開口110a，是設定在比夾頭台10之保持面11a還低的位置上。又，邊材盒110之開口110a，具有將鄰接於X軸移動機構30之端部以遮蓋X軸移動機構30的方式向夾頭台10突伸的邊材突伸部111。邊材盒110是可將以加工機構20a、20b從工件W分割出來，且藉由切削刀21之旋轉以及加工機構20a、20b之噴嘴23所噴射出的加工液而飛散的邊材(圖未示)收容者。 Further, the opening 110a of the sapwood box 110 is set at a position lower than the holding surface 11a of the ram unit 10. Further, the opening 110a of the sapwood case 110 has a sapwood projecting portion 111 that protrudes toward the ram base 10 so as to cover the X-axis moving mechanism 30 at an end portion adjacent to the X-axis moving mechanism 30. The sapwood box 110 is a sapwood that can be separated from the workpiece W by the processing mechanisms 20a and 20b, and is scattered by the rotation of the cutting blade 21 and the machining liquid sprayed from the nozzles 23 of the machining mechanisms 20a and 20b (Fig. Show) the recipient.
再者，邊材是工件W之未被吸引保持於夾頭台10之吸引保持部11的保持面11a的部分，且是藉由以加工機構20a、20b沿分割預定線L2分割加工，而從工件W被割離所產生者。亦即，邊材是工件W之未設有元件的外緣部。在圖5所示之變形例中，將工件W之外緣部割離而產生的邊材，由於不會受到夾頭台10吸引，故會因切削刀21之旋轉以及從噴嘴23噴射出之加工液的力道而被噴飛。由於在該被噴飛之方向上設有可任意裝卸的邊材盒110，所以可將被噴飛之邊材自動地收容至邊材盒110內。因此，根據圖5所 示之變形例，切削裝置1除了實施形態之效果外，仍然可抑制成本的高漲以及大型化，同時還能將邊材確實地收容至邊材盒110中。 Further, the sapwood is a portion of the workpiece W that is not sucked and held by the holding surface 11a of the suction holding portion 11 of the chuck table 10, and is divided and processed along the dividing line L2 by the processing mechanisms 20a and 20b. The workpiece W is cut off from the person produced. That is, the sapwood is the outer edge portion of the workpiece W where no components are provided. In the modification shown in FIG. 5, the sapwood which is formed by cutting the outer edge portion of the workpiece W is not attracted by the chuck table 10, and is thus ejected by the rotation of the cutter 21 and from the nozzle 23. The strength of the machining fluid is sprayed. Since the sapwood case 110 arbitrarily detachable is provided in the direction in which the fly is to be ejected, the sapwood to be sprayed can be automatically accommodated in the sapwood case 110. Therefore, according to Figure 5 In the modified example, the cutting device 1 can suppress the increase in cost and size while suppressing the effect of the embodiment, and can also reliably store the sapwood into the sapwood case 110.
在前述實施形態中，是從晶片吹送噴嘴61向著從搬出入區域O往加工區域P之方向移動之夾頭台10的保持面11a上的晶片T噴射流體F。但是，在本發明中，也可以從晶片吹送噴嘴61向著從加工區域P往搬出入區域O之方向移動之夾頭台10的保持面11a上的晶片T噴射流體F。此時，控制機構在結束對所有的分割預定線L1、L2的分割加工時，會停止加工機構20a、20b，並在夾頭台10還位在加工區域P的狀態下，停止吸引源，以停止將已分割之一個個晶片T吸引保持住的吸引力。 In the above embodiment, the fluid F is ejected from the wafer blowing nozzle 61 toward the wafer T on the holding surface 11a of the chuck stage 10 that moves from the loading/unloading area O to the processing area P. However, in the present invention, the fluid F may be ejected from the wafer blowing nozzle 61 toward the wafer T on the holding surface 11a of the chuck stage 10 that moves from the processing region P to the loading/unloading region O. At this time, when the control unit ends the division processing for all the division planned lines L1 and L2, the machining mechanism 20a and 20b are stopped, and when the chuck table 10 is still positioned in the processing region P, the suction source is stopped. Stop attracting the attractive ones of the divided wafers T.
並且，控制機構會進行驅動流體供給源等，以將加壓氣體以預定時間間歇性地供給保持面11a的吸引孔14，使其從保持面11a的吸引孔14噴射出來。而且，控制機構可以透過加壓氣體從夾頭台10確實地對分割成一個個的複數個晶片T賦予震動，以使分割成一個個的複數個晶片T確實地從夾頭台10脫離。之後，控制機構一邊以X軸移動機構30使將分割成一個個的複數個晶片T吸引保持住之夾頭台10一直移動到搬出入區域O為止，一邊使流體F從晶片吹送噴嘴61之噴射孔62噴射出來。於是，在夾頭台10移動的同時，從靠近晶片盒100的晶片T開始依序地朝著晶片盒100吹送，並將被吹送之晶片T收容於晶片盒100中。並且，在夾頭台10位於搬出入區域O時，會停止晶片移動機構60，以 停止從晶片吹送噴嘴61之噴射孔62之流體F噴射。然後，操作員可將晶片盒100從裝置本體2卸下，取出經分割加工而得到之晶片T。並且，可與前述步驟相同地，對分割加工前的工件W實施分割加工。 Further, the control means drives the fluid supply source or the like to intermittently supply the pressurized gas to the suction hole 14 of the holding surface 11a for a predetermined period of time, and ejects it from the suction hole 14 of the holding surface 11a. Further, the control means can surely impart vibration to the plurality of wafers T divided into individual pieces from the chuck table 10 by the pressurized gas so that the plurality of wafers T divided into one piece are surely detached from the chuck stage 10. After that, the control unit causes the fluid F to be ejected from the wafer blowing nozzle 61 while moving the chuck table 10 that has been sucked and held by the plurality of wafers T that have been divided and held by the X-axis moving mechanism 30 until the loading/unloading area O is moved. Hole 62 is ejected. Then, while the chuck stage 10 is moving, the wafer T near the wafer cassette 100 is sequentially blown toward the wafer cassette 100, and the wafer T to be blown is accommodated in the wafer cassette 100. Further, when the chuck table 10 is located in the carry-in/out area O, the wafer moving mechanism 60 is stopped to The fluid F ejection from the injection holes 62 of the wafer blowing nozzle 61 is stopped. Then, the operator can detach the wafer cassette 100 from the apparatus body 2 and take out the wafer T obtained by the division processing. Further, the workpiece W before the division processing can be subjected to the division processing in the same manner as the above-described steps.
又，只要可作為工件而直接被保持於夾頭台10，則本發明中也可以適用於對封裝基板以外之各種工件W實施分割加工的切削裝置。 Further, the present invention can be applied to a cutting device that performs a division process on various workpieces W other than the package substrate, as long as it can be directly held by the chuck table 10 as a workpiece.
再者，本發明並非受限於上述實施形態以及變形例者。亦即，可以在不脫離本發明之主旨的範圍內進行各種變形而實施。 Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and modifications. That is, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
