INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to a polishing apparatus, and more particularly to a gas cyclone formed at the bottom of a polishing apparatus by using a gas to protect the polishing apparatus from the rot The residual of the abrasive slurry. [Prior Art] Grinding is to contact an object surface with a polishing pad and perform relative motion to cause friction, thereby depleting the surface composition of the object. Since the pressure is concentrated on the surface protruding portion, the material loss rate at this place is faster, so that the surface of the object can be flattened (ρ 1 a n a r i z a t i ο η ) after a certain period of time. After the polishing pad has been used for a period of time, characteristic deterioration occurs, so a polishing finisher is often required to remove the polishing residue in the micropores on the polishing pad so that the polishing conforms to reproducibility and stability. Requirements. However, in the CMP process of tungsten, the polishing slurry consisting of potassium ferricyanide, ferric nitrate, potassium iodate and hydrogen peroxide is mainly used as a polishing slurry with a surface covered with cerium particles to simultaneously chemistry. Double processing of the reaction and mechanical polishing to flatten the surface of the wafer, but the corrosive abrasive aggregate will corrode the metal substrate of the finisher, resulting in the appearance of the finisher and the grain Loss. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a grinding and finishing device is proposed, which not only smashes the erosion of the polishing device by the pulverizing slurry, but also reduces the slight scratches caused by the ice field, thereby prolonging the use of the polishing pad. . % 【Contents】

Description of invention (4) When the residue is passed, a gas mixed with clean air ((: 1"11 (11^ air) and nitrogen (N2) is mixed into the accommodating space 18, and then by the ditch. The groove 22 is discharged, at which time the gas forms a cyclone, and the corrosive polishing slurry remaining on the polishing crucible 26 is driven away, and the corrosive polishing liquid remaining on the polishing crucible is greatly reduced. Grinding the finishing plate 10 of the grinding plate 20' causes the grinding plate 20 to be subjected to corrosion, and further avoids the micro-scratch of the grinding 塾26 caused by the conventional process being damaged by the grinding plate 20, The invention has the disadvantage that the life of the polishing pad 26 is shortened. In summary, the present invention is a polishing and finishing device which uses a cyclone to perform the adjustment of the surface of the polishing pad to drive away the abrasive material having the residual property. The damage caused by the corrosive abrasive slurry to the polishing apparatus and the adverse effects on the polishing pad are avoided. The above, however, is used to define the shape and structure of the present invention. All of them should be included in the present invention as only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is the case that the patents within the scope of patent application are based on the characteristics, characteristics and spirits, and are not equivalent to the patent application of the invention.
