Description of the Invention (f) The present invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) machine. In particular, it is related to the improvement of the carrier in the honing machine table. In the process of planarization, the chemical mechanical honing method is the only method that can provide large-scale semiconductor integrated circuit (VLSI), and even ultra-large semiconductor integrated circuit (Ulsi-LSI) processes, to achieve global planarization. A technology. As shown in Figs. 1A and 1B, the conventional chemical mechanical honing machine table includes a polishing table 10 ', and a honing pad 12 is provided on the honing table 10. A loader 14 is used to load the wafer 16 so that the surface of the wafer 16 is facing downward between the loader and the honing pad, and honing fluid 18 is input for honing. FIG. 1C illustrates the traditional chemical machinery in detail The structure of the loader Η of the honing table has a cover 22 in the middle of the loader 14 and has an upper surface 23. Above the lid 22 is a robot arm 20 'which is perpendicular to the upper surface 23 and engages the center of the upper surface 23. The robot arm 20 is a hollow column shape for moving and rotating the loader 14' for honing. Below the cover 22, there is a honing head 24 which is engaged with the periphery of the cover 22. The honing head 24 is used to suck the wafer for honing. In addition, between the honing head 24 and the wafer 16, an insert fUm is usually installed to prevent the wafer from being scratched. As the loader currently used in CMP hones wafers, the honing liquid easily penetrates into the inside of the loader. After the honing liquid condenses, it will cause obstacles during honing and affect the uniformity of the product.

Description of the invention (* >) Honing fluid, the entire set of loaders must be removed and processed. On average, about 2000 tablets must be processed once. The entire lid must be cleaned with a scraping brush. In addition, the loaders currently used in CMP are quite time-consuming for assembly and assembly, and it only takes more than an hour to assemble only one, which is easy to cause waste of manpower. In addition, during the processing, it is easy to cause the solidification of the honing fluid, the falling of debris and the generation of particles, which will cause pollution to the fab environment. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improved loader, which can automatically wash out the honing fluid inside the loader at the same time when the automatic honing is performed after each machine honing wafers, so as to avoid the residue of the honing fluid. . In this way, the honing fluid can be prevented from condensing inside the loader, which affects the uniformity of the product. It can also reduce the frequency of loader maintenance management and reduce the pollution of the fab environment.

V. Description of the Invention (仏) Figures 2A and 2B show the chemistry according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Sectional view and top view of the loader of the mechanical honing machine table ^ Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B for details of the structure of the loader 14 of the chemical mechanical honing machine of the present invention. A cover 22 is provided in the middle of the loader 14 It has an upper surface 23. Above the cover 22 is a robot arm 20 which is perpendicular to the upper surface 23 and engages the center of the upper surface 23. The robot arm 20 is a hollow column shape for moving and rotating the loader 14 for honing. Below the cover 22, there is a honing head 24, which is engaged with the periphery of the cover 22. The honing head 24 is used to suck the wafer for honing. In addition, an insert film 26 (insert film) is usually installed between the honing head 24 and the wafer 16 to prevent the wafer from being scratched. In the robot arm 20, at least one water supply pipe 28 is installed. The embodiment only uses a water supply pipe 28 as an example. This water supply pipe 28 is a water supply system connected to an automatic cleaning device. When the automatic cleaning is performed after each machine has been honing the wafer, water is automatically supplied to perform cleaning inside the loader. The water supply pipe 28 is made of, for example, a hard material such as stainless steel, or it may be made of a soft material such as plastic. In addition, the upper surface 23 of the cover 22 is provided with at least one water spray hole 32. In this embodiment, only four water spray holes are taken as an example. The water spray hole 32 sprays water evenly inside the loader. In addition, at least one water spray pipe 30 is installed, which is mainly used to connect the water supply pipe 28 and the water spray hole 32. The connection method depends on any need to be changed, and is not limited to the tubular form. Here, the present invention only uses four tubular water spray pipes as an example. One end of the water spray pipe 30 is connected to the 6 on the cover 22 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). The size of the paper is applicable to the Chinese national standard (CNS) Λ4 size (210X297 mm).

Description of the invention (k) The other end of the water spray hole 32' is connected to the other end of the water supply pipe 28 in the robot arm 20. The connection method, for example, One end of the water spray pipe 30 is connected to the water supply pipe 28 through a mechanical arm horizontally. The other end is connected to the water spray hole 32 at a 90-degree angle above the water spray hole 32. The water spray pipe 30 is made of hard material, such as stainless steel. Here, whenever the automatic honing is performed, the automatic honing system will automatically wash the bottom of the honing head 24 with Deionized Water to remove the honing liquid 18 remaining after honing, and Wet the embedded pad 26 to facilitate the next step; human honing. During the automatic washing, the 'part of deionized water is also sprayed through the water supply pipe 28, the water spray pipe 30 and the water spray hole 32 to remove the residual Honing fluid 18 in the gap between the sub 22 and the honing head 24. Therefore, the residual honing fluid 18 in the loader can be greatly reduced 'reducing the frequency of maintenance and cleaning. In addition,' this embodiment uses only 4 water spray pipes The water spray hole is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The device of the present invention is also applicable to more than one water spray hole and water spray hole. The device according to the present invention may be provided with as many water spray pipes and water spray holes as necessary. From the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention, it can be known that the loader on the currently used chemical mechanical honing table of the present invention is equipped with a water supply pipe, a water spray pipe and a water spray hole. The automatic honing is performed after each honing is completed. 'Automatically clean the honing fluid remaining in the loader to prevent the honing fluid from solidifying inside the loader and affect the uniformity of the product. At the same time, it can reduce the frequency of maintenance management and reduce unnecessary labor waste.
