On April 15, 1998, describes a CMP system that addresses these issues. Tolies et al. Disclosed a CMP system 'wafer with a leveling system from a wafer in a liquid bath to a leveling system. A transport mechanism or robotic arm carries the wafers from the bath to the transport station. The transport station contains a load cup to place the wafer into one of four processing heads placed on a turntable. The turntable sequentially sends each processing head above the load cup to receive the wafer. When the wafer is sent to the processing head, the turntable passes the processing head and wafers through a flattening station for grinding. The wafer is moved relative to the abrasive material in the polishing fluid to flatten the wafer. The abrasive fluid usually contains chemicals that help remove material from the wafer. The mechanical part of the grinding process is achieved by placing the abrasive material in or on the abrasive fluid. After the flattening process is complete, the wafers are transported back to the appropriate bins in the bath via the transport station. One type of abrasive that can be used in chemical mechanical polishing is called a fixed abrasive. The fixed abrasive material includes many abrasive particles suspended on the resin.

When the abrasive material used in the system contains abrasive particles, the system usually uses an abrasive fluid that does not contain abrasive material. This abrasive fluid enhances the service life of the fluid delivery system. The fixed abrasive material is usually a bottom-attachment type, but it is often made into the form of a film. The film is supported on a platform, and the platform has a center or a work area, and the grinding process is performed in this area. The unused portion of the film not on the platform is stored in a roller attached to the side of the platform. When the film is consumed during the wafer grinding process, the film is moved and an unused piece of film is placed in the work area of the platform. The used part of the film leaving the platform is wound on a film roll, and the film is fortunately on the opposite side of the platform from the feed. However, it is sometimes difficult to move the film on the grinding platform. Abrasive fluids in contact with the membrane may cause surface tension or suction to occur between the membrane and the platform. When moving the film, the film moving device must overcome this surface tension. If the suction between the membrane and the platform is large, the mobile device may not be able to move the membrane or damage the membrane during the movement. Therefore, there is a need for a system and method for overcoming the suction of a film in a polishing system. "Jo and Fe": An aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for releasing a film of an abrasive material. In one embodiment, the device includes a platform, the platform having-or more nozzles connected to it. The platform has a support surface to support grinding and grinding materials. The mouth allows fluid to flow through to the back of the abrasive material. This fluid forces the abrasive material to leave the platform at least partially. In another embodiment, the nozzle has a centerline and an acute angle with the support surface. Page 3 This paper is suitable for China.

Description of the invention () The movement of the platform 11 4 moves vertically. A second driver (not depicted) is connected to the carrier plate 112 and controls the movement of the carrier plate 112 along the rail 13. The second driver has the same structure as the first driver. A part of the second driver is connected to the carrier board 11 2 and the second part is connected to the stage 1 1 4. The carrier plate 112 supports a grinding head 11. The grinding head 11 〇_ is connected to an unillustrated starter 'so that the substrate in the grinding head may contact the film 1 3 6 during the grinding process. Several examples of grinding heads that may be used in the grinding machine 1000 are the TITAN HEADtm wafer carrier and the DIAMOND HEADtm wafer carrier manufactured by Applied Materials, Inc., of Santa Clara, California. In one embodiment, the combined action of the stage 114 and the carrier plate 112 causes the x-y or orbital scraping action of the substrate 112 held by the polishing head 110 with respect to the film 136. One or more nozzles 1 28 are provided in the grinder 100 to provide a grinding fluid between the substrate 122 and the film 136 during the grinding process. Nozzle 128 may be connected to drive system 02, platform 106, or otherwise located to allow the abrasive fluid to flow from nozzle 12 to membrane 138. The abrasive fluid includes deionized water and one or more chemicals that help remove material from the wafer. Abrasive fluids may include abrasive materials. The platform 106 is a flat surface. The substrate 122 is ground on this flat surface. The platform 106 is typically made of aluminum. The platform 106 has a top surface 160 supporting film 136. The top surface 1 60 includes a central recess 1 24 and a first side recess 1 54 and a second side recess 1 5 6. The secondary pad 1 30 and the secondary plate 3.2 are provided in the central recess 1 24. The secondary pad 1 3 0 is usually plastic, such as polycarbonate and foamed polyurethane. The hardness of the secondary pad 1 3 0 (combined with the secondary plate 1 3 2) may be selected to produce a specific 9th paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) II 1! -Pack ---- t ---- Order ------! -Line (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 472315 A7 ---- B7 V. Description of the invention () Grinding results. The secondary pad 1 3 0 maintains a film of the abrasive material 3 6 parallel to the plane of the substrate 122 held by the polishing head 110 and promotes the overall planarization of the substrate 122. The secondary plate 1 3 2 is placed between the secondary pad 1 30 and the bottom of the recess 1 2 4 so that the top surface of the secondary pad 1 30 is in the top surface 1 60 of the platform 1 06, that is, coplanar. At least one of the undercuts 1 5 4 and _ 1 5 6 surrounds the lifting device 108. A lifting device 1 0 8 is connected to the fluid supply 12 6. The lifting device 108 may be activated to provide a fluid (such as air, nitrogen, and the like) between the platform 106 and the membrane 1 36 to force the membrane 1 36 to leave the platform 106. The fluid leaving from the lifting device 108 releases the attraction between the membrane 136 and the platform 106 (for example, the membrane attraction or surface tension caused by the fluid under the membrane). In one embodiment, the fluid exiting from the lifting device 108 separates the membrane 13 from the platform 106. One or more lifting devices 108 may be placed near one or more sides of the platform 106. In one embodiment, the lifting device 108 is close to the film roll 140 in the recess 154 of the platform 106. Typically, the blank 158 is in the second recess 156. Alternatively, another lifting device 108 may replace the blank 158 and be placed in the second recess, on one or two adjacent sides of the platform 106, or a combination thereof. Fig. 2 is a plan view of an embodiment of the platform 106.

Referring to Fig. 3, in one embodiment of the trench 208, the channel 212 is defined between a side wall 302 of the recess 154 and the first side 312 of the lifting device 108. The channel 212 communicates with a tube 304, which is connected to a vacuum source, 3 06 vacuum source 3 06, and optionally provides a vacuum to the groove 20 8, which causes the membrane to adhere to the platform 10 06 during processing. An example of an abrasive material maintenance system is found in U.S. Patent Application No. 09/2 58,036, filed February 25, 1999 by Ye Yeyi et al. The claimant should use other types of equipment to release the abrasive material releasably 252 is fixed to platform 230, such as releasable adhesive, electrostatic chucks, mechanical clips, and other releasable holding mechanisms. The lifting device defining one side of the channel 2 12 includes one or more nozzles 330 to spray fluid. The fluid coming from the feeder 26 and ejected from the nozzle 300 forces the membrane 108 to leave the platform 106, overcoming the attraction between the membrane 108, the platform 106 and the time 130, and any possible presentation Surface tension caused by fluids (such as abrasive fluids) below the membrane. In one embodiment, the 'lifting device 108 includes a main body 308. The main body 308 has a first side 3 12, a second side 3 i 4, a top surface 3 1 0, and a bottom 3 1 6. A plurality of fasteners 318 pass through the mounting holes 224 from the top surface of the body 308 and are locked into the mating screw holes 320 in the first recess 154. A seal or gasket (not depicted) is used between the lifting member 108 and the platform 106 to prevent exposure therebetween. Alternatively ' other means (such as bolts, rivets, clips, adhesives, and the like) may be used to secure the lifting device 108 to the platform 106. Typically, the second side 3 1 4 of the body 308 and the top surface 3 1 0 form a radiused or chamfered angle. The radius of the corner 322 allows the film 1 36 to pass through from there.

Description of the invention ((Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Structure 5 1 4 (such as regulator, hole, proportional valve or the like) is set between the supply 5 12 and the tube 508 to control the passage The flow of the fluid at each nozzle 504 is therefore 'possible to fine-tune the lifting of the film 5 1 6 close to the lifting system 5 00 such that a portion of the film 5 1 6 is higher than the other, or to ensure that the fluid passes uniformly through all the nozzles of the lifting system 500 504. For example, in a lifting system that includes three or more nozzles 504, the central nozzle may have a higher flow rate to provide more fluid (such as air) below the center of the membrane 5 丨 6. The higher flow rate corresponds to a larger lift to overcome the fluid tension in the center of the platform 5 丨 8 (farthest from the nozzle 504). Alternatively, the fittings in each tube 508 may be connected together. The single-fluid tube connects the fitting 5 10 to the fluid supplier 512. The Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed reference to Figures 6A and 6B. In operation, a vacuum is sent to the trench 208. The vacuum in the trench 208 is generated Downward force 602 causes film 136 to grind The platform is attached in the process (see Figure 6A). Once the grinding is completed and the membrane 136 is to be moved, the vacuum is removed from the groove 208 (ie, pressure is applied to the groove or the atmosphere is communicated) and the fluid is sent from the fluid supply 126 to the lift Apparatus 1 0. Fluid from the supplier 1 26 flows into the body 308 and is ejected from the nozzle 300.
