Abstract

The present invention provides a temperature controlling apparatus for chemical-mechanical polishing, in order to provide temperature control in real time during the polishing process. The apparatus includes mainly a gas-supply device, a gas temperature controller, a polishing platform, a polishing head, and a temperature-detecting device. Gas supplied by the gas-supply device is thermal controlled before it is input into polished head. Then the thermal controlled gas affects the temperature of wafer through a membrane in polishing head. Moreover, the gas temperature controller is able to adjust immediately the gas temperature, which depends on the wafer temperature data measured by the temperature-detecting device.

Β As shown in the second image, the chemical mechanical polishing temperature control device may include: The gas supply device 22, the gas temperature control device 26, the polishing head 30, the membrane 40 included in the polishing head, and the temperature detection device 60. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned gas supply device 22 supplies gas and passes through a pressure control device 24 and a gas temperature control device 26 to enter the grinding head 30. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Nitrogen can be used as the supply gas. Printed by the cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, please refer to the third picture. As the volume of the gas entering the grinding head 30 gradually increases, the internal pressure of Qi Zhao in the closed environment of the grinding head 30 also gradually increases. After a certain pressure, the film 40 in the closed environment is deformed because it cannot withstand this pressure. For example, after the internal pressure of the grinding head reaches 2 ps, the film 40 in the closed environment will be deformed and expanded. After the deformation and expansion of the film 40, an arc-shaped protrusion β appears. As the pressure in the grinding head 30 increases, the deformation of the film 40 increases, so that the curvature of the film 40 becomes larger, and more Outstanding. Next, the film 40 will come into contact with the grinding sheet. 8 pages _ Chinese paper standard (C.NS) Α4 specifications (2 丨 0X297 mm) are applicable for each paper size.

Description of the invention () Wafer 50 below head 30, for example, the pressure at this time is about 5 ps * ° More gas in the grinding head and greater pressure cause the expanded film 40 to follow the wafer 5 0 'and the same deformation occurs on the wafer. The deformed wafer 50 protrudes downward and contacts the polishing pad 70 to facilitate the chemical mechanical polishing operation. Returning to the second figure 'before the gas enters the polishing head 30, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a gas temperature control device 26 is provided between the gas supply device 22 and the polishing head 30', for example, by using a liquid flow method, or Set the heating coil or heater to achieve the required temperature increase or decrease. The gas generated by the gas supply device 22 passes through the above-mentioned gas temperature control device 26, which heats or lowers the temperature of the gas, enters the grinding head 30 through the air inlet pipe 27, and expands the film 40. When the grinding head 30 After the film 40 is deformed by the pressure to contact the wafer 50, the temperature-controlled gas exchanges heat with the surroundings of the grinding head 30 in the grinding head 30, which also includes the film 40 squeezed by the gas pressure; and at the same time, The thin film 40 performs heat exchange with its surroundings, and also includes the wafer 50 squeezed by the thin film 40. In this case, the temperature-controlled gas and the wafer 50 pass through the thin film 40 as a medium to perform indirect heat exchange. Therefore, the gas The temperature can affect the crystal temperature 50 and control the grinding temperature to achieve the main purpose of the invention. And because the thickness of the film 40 is extremely thin, the heat exchange through the film 40 does not have much negative influence. The paper rule of the present invention ^ applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A view ^ (210X297 male ^) Please read the notes on the back first and fill in this page) 885 0 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention ((谙 First read the back Note for refilling #this page} The temperature range of the preferred wafer 50 grinding in the embodiment is between i 0 and 6 0 ^. The setting of various temperature ranges also depends on the different grinding materials and the performance of non-grinding. Yes, in general, high grinding temperature has a better performance on grinding efficiency, but too high grinding temperature will also have some side effects, such as reduced service life of the polishing pad 70 and increased volatilization of the slurry. The temperature control in the mechanism is for the polishing pad 70. During the polishing process, the gas in the polishing head 30 will be maintained at a certain pressure by the pressure control device 24, which also means that the gas in the polishing head 30 will continuously pass through. The air inlet pipe 27 enters and exits through the air outlet pipe 28. Therefore, the gas that is continuously controlled by temperature control can be adjusted at any time to the temperature of the wafer 50 during grinding.
