The height of the attached abrasive particles can be adjusted freely by the lifting and lowering of the metal rod. The individual and position of the abrasive particles are on the metal disk by the metal rod. The precise position of the fixed position is controlled. The surface of many precision components in the polishing process must be very smooth to meet the requirements of use. For example, the height difference of the surface of the hard drive must be within a few nanometers, otherwise the magnetic head Hard disks will be scratched when searching for recording media at high speed. For example, when manufacturing integrated circuits on silicon wafers, each deposited metal or metal layer or dielectric layer should be flattened to within tens of nanometers. Focus on the photomask when etching the line. The piezoelectric material must also smooth the surface to avoid distorting the transmitted elastic wave and distorting the signal. As shown in the second picture, a rotating stage (8) is often used for polishing. The polishing pad (82) is attached to the stage (80). The workpiece (90) is buckled and pressed against the surface of the polishing pad (8 2). At this time, the abrasive is injected on the other side of the polishing pad (8 2). Pulp (8 4) and make The stage (80) and the workpiece (90) are rotated so that the workpiece (90) can be gradually polished. The above-mentioned polishing method is called mechanical polishing. If the slurry (84) is not only suspended abrasive particles but also chemically added Etching fluid accelerates the polishing rate. This polishing rule is called Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP). CMP has become an indispensable method for semiconductor processes. General polishing pads are made of Polyurethane. The surface must be moderately rough to accumulate the grinding slurry to rub the workpiece. However, when the workpiece is polished, the grinding debris and the powder scraped off by the polishing pad will be mixed and coated on ------ --Order --------- Line- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page} 562719 A7 V. Description of the invention (z) A hardened layer is gradually formed on the surface of the polishing pad (CHazing) The hardened layer not only cannot absorb the grinding slurry, but also reduces the friction during polishing to effectively polish the workpiece. Taking the CMP process for polishing wafers as an example, the polishing rate will decrease by 10 / 〇 for each wafer polished. .After polishing 50 wafers, The rate is already too low, and the polishing pad must be stopped at this time. Therefore, this process is costly and often requires shutdown, so the production capacity is very low. If a dressing disk is used to continuously scrape the abrasive layer during polishing Moderate grooves are engraved on the polishing pad, so that not only the refining slurry can be thickened, but also the friction force can be increased. The work can be continuously polished at high speed, and the production will not stop. For example, the polishing pad can be continuously trimmed by the diamond dressing disc. Only polishing pads need to be replaced to polish nearly a thousand wafers. Therefore, the dressing disk determines the cost and productivity of workpiece polishing, and is an indispensable tool for many precision manufacturing industries. The statistics of wafer polishing with and without trimming disks are shown in the graph in Figure 4.

Some processes use sintering of metal powder to stick diamonds (such as those made by 3M, USA). Other dressing discs use special alloys to weld diamonds firmly to metal discs (such as those made by the China Grinding Wheel Corporation of the Republic of China). Most products have a very uneven distribution of diamond abrasive particles. The diamonds on the Diamond Grid® (DiaGrid⑧) dressing discs of the Chinese wheel only have a regular arrangement.

The scratches on the description of the invention (j) are very irregular, and the workpiece is polished The rate will drop rapidly. This process control is not easy, and the product yield will be reduced as a result. Conversely, if the diamonds are arranged neatly, the engravings of the polishing pads are uniform, and the polishing rate is consistent, the quality of the workpiece can be kept stable, and the production capacity can be accurately controlled. Therefore, regularly arranged diamond abrasive particles are the best polishing pad dressing discs. In particular, if the distance between diamonds is too high, the force of the diamond during trimming will increase, and it will easily fall. Because diamonds are much harder than the workpiece, falling diamonds can severely scratch the job. As a result, the number of scrapped pieces produced by regularly arranged diamond dressing discs will be much lower than those randomly arranged. Among the above three methods for attaching diamonds, the intensity of bonding the diamonds by brazing is shown in Table South 'followed by the sintering method.' The weakest knot strength is the electric clock method. To prevent the diamond from falling off and scratching the workpiece, it is best to use brazing. However, brazing must go through a high-temperature process (such as 1000 °). At high temperatures, the metal disc is easily deformed to increase the difference in the peak of the diamond. When trimming the polishing pad, the protruding diamond is stressed, so it is easy to crack. When the difference between the height of the diamond apex is too large, the diamonds at the low point will not be able to touch the polishing pad. In this way, the number of diamond workpieces will be reduced, so that the service life of the dressing disc is low. Therefore, the diamond dressing disc must be maximized. The best performance is to use brazing technology and arrange the diamonds neatly. However, this method cannot individually adjust the height of the diamonds so that their drop is too large. Therefore, the present inventor has targeted this shortcoming to develop a more industrial use value The present invention, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a dressing disc capable of individually adjusting the abrasive grains, which can individually adjust the height of the diamond, -------- order --------- ^ (please (Read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 5 562719 A7 B7 5.

Description of Invention (jr) Arrange as required Type or density; In accordance with the enlarged schematic view of the cross section of the second figure, the present invention separates each individual abrasive grain (2 4) [the abrasive grain can be diamond or cubic boron nitride (Cublc Boron Nitride)] respectively The welding material (2 2) is welded on the top surface of a metal talent (20) rod. If a groove (2 0 0) is preset on the top surface of the rod, the abrasive grains (2 4) can be fixed in a specific direction according to their crystal shape and then welded firmly (for example, the sharp point of the crystal shape is upward or the ridge line is welded). Facing up). Since the abrasive grains (2 4) are welded to the metal rod (20), the metal disc (丄 0) does not need to be heated, so its processing accuracy can be maintained. At this time, the welded metal rods (20) are respectively inserted into the pin holes (12) at specific positions of the metal disk (10) to control the distribution of the abrasive particles (24). At this time, the metal plate (10) is buckled on a flat plate (40), so that the apex of all the abrasive particles (24) can be maintained at the same height. Finally, the metal rod (20) is firmly adhered to the metal disc (10) with a hardenable plastic (such as Epoxy) or a bonding material (30) such as solder. The abrasive grains (2 4) on the dressing disc made in this way not only never fall off, but also are arranged in an orderly manner. What is important is that the apexes of all abrasive particles (2 4) are uniform. This dressing disc can make the polishing pad last longer, the polishing rate of work can be increased, and the service life of the dresser can be greatly extended. The scratch rate of the workpiece will be minimized, and the product output will be the highest. .S 'The grain size of the abrasive grains (24) used on the dressing disc of the present invention is 20 to 200 mesh, but the diameter of the smallest abrasive grain (2 4) used in the same dressing disc is 80 of the largest. %the above.
