Description of the invention (l) [Background of the invention] [Field of the invention] The present invention relates to a pneumatic polishing method and device for polishing a workpiece by pneumatically polishing a plate. [Explanation of the related art] Fig. 6 is a sectional view showing a conventional polishing device of a pneumatic type. As shown in FIG. 6, the polishing device supports a polished surface of a workpiece with a bracket 100, for example, wafer W. By rotating the bracket 100 and pressing the wafer to w, the grinding is performed. The plate also supplies a slurry, not shown, to the grinding plate 110 to polish the surface of the workpiece. When wafer W is polished, based on the accuracy of polishing, the back pressure of wafer w is preferably uniform. Therefore, in the polishing device, the bottom surface 101 of the holder 100 is provided with a plurality of air passages 102, and a gas A is supplied to the air passages 102, so that between the bottom surface of the holder 100 and the back surface of the wafer w The outflowing gas A can apply a uniform pressure to the back surface of the wafer w. However, the related art of the pneumatic polishing device described above suffers from the problems described below. The gas A therebetween is supplied to the bottom surface 101 and the back surface of the wafer, flows through the air passage 102 of the holder 100, and flows from the outer periphery of the back surface of the wafer ff through the gap B of the holder 100 to the outside. Therefore, the slurry entering from the gap B and deposited on the outer periphery of the back surface of the wafer ff is dried by the gas A, so that the abrasive in the slurry solidifies and the outer periphery of the wafer W is on the outer periphery. These deposits cannot be eliminated even by cleaning, and the quality of the wafer W is deteriorated.

Description of the invention (8) In the first and second figures, the grinding plate 1 is rotated by driving the main motor 11 and the cylinder 30 held by the rotation driving mechanism 3 is pressed against the crystal held by the bracket 2 The circular evaluation and driving motor 34 rotates the holder 2 at a preset speed, so that the polishing pad 10 of the polishing plate 1 on the back surface of the wafer w can be polished (step 1). At the same time, the gas pump 4 and the water pump 5 are driven, and the gas a with a predetermined pressure will flow through the gas pipe 40 into the mixing container 45 and the water vapor or water mist 3 with the preset pressure will flow through the water pipe 50 into the mixing chamber 45. In this way, the gas A and water vapor or water mist s are mixed in the mixing container 45, and then transmitted to the fluid inlet / outlet 61 of the fluid passage 6 of the stent 2 through the hose 45a. When the gas A and water vapor or water mist S are transmitted to the fluid inlet / outlet 61, as shown in FIG. 4, they flow through the grooves on the lower surface of the housing 20 and enter the through holes 6 2 of the support substrate 21. Then, it flows out from the openings of the through holes 62 to the back surface of the wafer W. In this way, the back surface of the wafer W is evenly pressed by the gas a, thereby improving the polishing accuracy of the surface of the wafer evaluation. The back surface of the wafer w is moistened with water vapor or water mist s (second step). The wafer is polished in this state. During polishing, a polishing slurry (not shown) is supplied to the polishing plate 1 to improve the polishing efficiency of the wafer. However, as shown in FIG. 5, 'part of the research and gathering is sometimes entered from the gap between the buckle 22 of the holder and the outer peripheral edge of the wafer w', and sinks to the outer periphery wa of the back of the wafer W When the slurry is precipitated on the Sh periphery due to the drying effect of the gas A, the abrasive c deposited on the outer periphery cannot be eliminated even by cleaning. However, in this embodiment, as described in the description, the entire back surface of the wafer is wetted with water vapor or water mist. Therefore, the slurry deposited on the periphery of the back surface will not dry.

Description of the invention (9) 涸 0 Thus, according to the embodiment of the pneumatic polishing device of the present invention, since the entire back surface of the wafer ff is filled with water vapor or The water mist S wets and therefore the slurry deposited on the outer periphery Wa will not dry out. When the polishing operation is finished, the deposited slurry can be easily removed by cleaning the wafer W. In this way, high-quality wafers without slurry or other deposits are made. It should be noted that the embodiments described above are not intended to limit the implementable scope of the present invention, and any equivalent changes and modifications made by using the present invention are still covered by the scope of patent application of the present invention. For example, in the foregoing embodiment, the present invention supplies gas A and water vapor or water mist S to the fluid passage 6, but it is also possible to supply liquid water instead of water vapor or water mist S, that is, the water itself , And gas a together. Summarizing the advantageous effects of the present invention, as described in detail above, since the present invention is configured to open a fluid channel from the support surface of the bracket to supply gas and water to the back of the workpiece, the supplied water and gas will then be supplied from the workpiece. The outer surface of the back surface flows out to the outside of the stent together. Therefore, the back surface of the workpiece will be wetted with water, so that the researchers who enter the periphery of the back surface of the workpiece will not dry out. Therefore, this advantageous effect can prevent the precipitation caused by the condensation of the abrasive in the dish, and can Provide high-quality workpieces.
