Description

平面研磨裝置 Plane grinding device

本發明,係有關於將被保持在由至少一部分具有透光性的材料所形成的遊星輪的半導體晶圓或是玻璃基板等之板狀的工件作研磨的平面研磨裝置,更詳細言之,係有關於測定工件及遊星輪的厚度並作研磨的平面研磨裝置。 The present invention relates to a flat surface polishing device for polishing a plate-shaped workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass substrate that is held on a planetary wheel made of at least a part of a translucent material. More specifically, It is a flat grinding device for measuring and grinding the thickness of workpieces and planetary wheels.

於平面研磨裝置中,在研磨保持於遊星輪的工件的兩面的情形下,係測定工件的厚度及遊星輪的厚度,並在該工件的厚度與遊星輪的厚度的差(間隙)成為預定的值時使研磨結束,藉此能夠獲得平坦度高的工件。 In the flat surface grinding device, in the case of grinding both sides of the workpiece held on the planetary wheel, the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel are measured, and the difference (gap) between the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel becomes a predetermined When the value is set, the grinding ends, thereby obtaining a workpiece with high flatness.

在進行如此之管理工件的厚度與遊星輪的厚度的差之間隙管理方式的研磨的情形下,以往係在研磨加工中以雷射光測定工件的厚度,遊星輪的厚度係在未進行工件的研磨時,將該遊星輪從平面研磨裝置取出而以測微器等作測定。因此,會對遊星輪的厚度的測定耗費工夫,不僅缺乏效率,尚有發生測定失誤或測定資料的輸入失誤等人為失 誤之虞。 In the case of the gap management method of grinding that manages the difference between the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel, conventionally, the thickness of the workpiece was measured by laser light during the grinding process, and the thickness of the planetary wheel was not used for grinding the workpiece. At this time, the planetary wheel was taken out of the flat grinding device and measured with a micrometer or the like. Therefore, it takes time and effort to measure the thickness of the cruiser. Not only is it inefficient, but there are also human errors such as measurement errors or input errors in measurement data. The risk of error.

於專利文獻1中,係揭示有在平面研磨裝置的支承框架安裝雷射光所致之厚度測定裝置,使來自該厚度測定裝置的雷射光通過設置在上定盤的窗部而照射至工件,並將該工件的表面及裏面所反射的反射光作受光而測定該工件的厚度者。 Patent Document 1 discloses a thickness measuring device in which laser light is installed on the support frame of a flat surface polishing device, and the laser light from the thickness measuring device is irradiated to the workpiece through a window provided on the upper platen. The thickness of the workpiece is measured by receiving the reflected light reflected on the surface and back of the workpiece.

然而,專利文獻1所揭示者,因係從固定設置在支承框架的厚度測定裝置,通過設置在旋轉的上定盤的窗部而使雷射光照射於工件,故僅在窗部通過測定位置時方能夠獲得測定資料,而有測定資料數少之問題。工件的研磨精度,係關於該工件的厚度的測定資料數越多則越得以提升,故期望能夠盡可能獲得更多的測定資料。 However, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the thickness measuring device is fixedly installed on the support frame, the laser light is irradiated to the workpiece through the window portion of the rotating upper platen, so only when the window portion passes the measurement position The measurement data can only be obtained, but there is a problem that the number of measurement data is small. The grinding accuracy of a workpiece is improved as the number of measurement data about the thickness of the workpiece increases. Therefore, it is desirable to obtain as many measurement data as possible.

另一方面,於專利文獻2中,係揭示有將包含光源的光學測量裝置安裝於上定盤,使該光學測量裝置一邊與上定盤呈一體旋轉一邊測定工件的厚度者。如此,雖然所獲得的測定資料的數量較多,然而包含由雷射振盪裝置所構成的光源的光學測量裝置,係整體龐大且重量亦大,故不僅包含上定盤的旋轉部分的構成會複雜化,且保持該上定盤之旋轉時的平衡非常困難,故該上定盤容易振動。因此,測定資料係容易受到上定盤的振動所導致之雜訊的影響。此時,因工件的透光性優異,故幾乎沒有受到前述雜訊的大幅影響而難以測定厚度之情事,然而,就與工件相比透光度較低的遊星輪而言,在照射雷射光時的反射強度比工件更弱,故有受到前述雜訊的大幅影響而難以 測定厚度之情事。 On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses that an optical measuring device including a light source is attached to an upper platen, and the optical measuring device is rotated integrally with the upper platen while measuring the thickness of the workpiece. In this way, although the amount of measurement data obtained is large, the optical measurement device including the light source constituted by the laser oscillator is bulky and heavy as a whole, so the structure including not only the rotating part of the upper platen will be complicated It is very difficult to maintain the balance during the rotation of the upper plate, so the upper plate is prone to vibration. Therefore, the measurement data is easily affected by noise caused by the vibration of the upper platen. At this time, because the work piece has excellent light transmittance, it is hardly affected by the aforementioned noise and it is difficult to measure the thickness. However, in the case of a cruise wheel with a lower light transmittance than the work piece, it is irradiated with laser light. The reflection intensity is weaker than the workpiece, so it is greatly affected by the aforementioned noise and difficult The case of measuring thickness.

於專利文獻2中,雖然係亦提出將光源從光學測量裝置分離,在上定盤僅安裝光學測量裝置,並從光源透過光旋轉接頭(rotary connector)對光學測量裝置供給雷射光者,然而經過光旋轉接頭的雷射光或反射光係容易因該光旋轉接頭而衰減、或是含有伴隨旋轉的雜訊,故會對與工件相比透光度較低的遊星輪的厚度測定造成阻礙。 In Patent Document 2, although it is also proposed to separate the light source from the optical measurement device, install only the optical measurement device on the upper plate, and supply laser light to the optical measurement device through the optical rotary connector from the light source, but through The laser light or reflected light system of the optical rotary joint is easily attenuated by the optical rotary joint or contains noise accompanying rotation, which hinders the thickness measurement of the cruise wheel with lower light transmittance than the workpiece.

本發明的技術性課題,係在研磨被保持在遊星輪的半導體晶圓或玻璃基板等的工件的平面研磨裝置中,為了進行根據工件與遊星輪的厚度的差之間隙管理方式的研磨,能夠藉由雷射光確實測定工件的厚度及遊星輪的厚度之兩方,並且獲得更多關於工件的厚度的測定資料數而藉此提升研磨精度。 The technical problem of the present invention is that in a plane polishing device that polishes a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass substrate held on a planetary wheel, in order to perform a gap management method according to the difference in thickness between the workpiece and the planetary wheel, it can The thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel are measured by the laser beam, and more measurement data about the thickness of the workpiece can be obtained to improve the grinding accuracy.

為解決前述課題,本發明係一種平面研磨裝置,其係具有:下定盤,係被支承為旋轉自如;上定盤,係被支承為升降自如且旋轉自如;以及遊星輪,係配置在前述上定盤與下定盤之間,並保持受到該上定盤及下定盤所研磨的工件;並將被保持於前述遊星輪的工件以前述上定盤及下定盤作夾持而研磨前述工件的兩面,其特徵為:前述遊星輪,係至少一部分以具有透光性的材料所形成,並具有:第1厚度測定器,係安裝於前述上定盤,對前述工件照射雷射光並將來自該工件的表面及裏面的反射光作受光而藉此測定該工件的厚度;以及第2厚度測定器,係安裝在不受前述上定盤及前述下定盤旋轉的影響的位置,對前述遊星輪照射雷射光並將來自該遊星輪的表面及裏面的反射光作受光而藉此測定該遊星輪的厚度。 In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the present invention is a flat surface grinding device, which has: a lower table, which is supported to be freely rotatable; an upper plate, which is supported to be liftable and rotatable; and a cruiser, which is arranged on the above Between the fixed plate and the lower fixed plate, and hold the workpiece that is ground by the upper and lower fixed plates; and the workpiece held on the planetary wheel is clamped by the upper and lower fixed plates to grind both sides of the workpiece , Characterized in that: the planetary wheel is formed at least partly with a light-transmitting material, and has: a first thickness measuring device installed on the upper platen, irradiating the workpiece with laser light and coming from the workpiece Reflected light on the surface and the inside of the light is received to measure the thickness of the workpiece; and a second thickness measuring device is installed at a position that is not affected by the rotation of the upper plate and the lower plate, and illuminates the cruise star The light is emitted and the reflected light from the surface and the inside of the star wheel is received to measure the thickness of the star wheel.

此時,前述平面研磨裝置,係具有前述雷射光的光源,前述第1厚度測定器,係透過旋轉接頭連接至前述光源為佳。 In this case, it is preferable that the surface polishing device is a light source having the laser light, and the first thickness measuring device is connected to the light source through a rotary joint.

另外,在前述上定盤,係形成有使雷射光穿透的工件用測定窗及遊星輪用測定窗,前述第1厚度測定器,係通過前述工件用測定窗來測定前述工件的厚度,前述第2厚度測定器,係通過前述遊星輪用測定窗來測定前述遊星輪的厚度為佳。 In addition, the upper surface plate is formed with a measuring window for a workpiece and a measuring window for a planetary wheel through which laser light penetrates, and the first thickness measuring device measures the thickness of the workpiece through the measuring window for the workpiece. The second thickness measuring device preferably measures the thickness of the planetary wheel through the measuring window for the planetary wheel.

進而,安裝有前述第2厚度測定器的前述位置,係支承前述上定盤及前述下定盤的機體為佳。 Furthermore, the position where the second thickness measuring device is mounted is preferably a body supporting the upper plate and the lower plate.

依據本發明,對工件照射雷射光而測定工件的厚度的第1厚度測定器,係安裝在被支承為旋轉自如的上定盤,對至少一部分以具有透光性的材料所形成遊星輪照射雷射光而測定遊星輪的厚度的第2厚度測定器,係安裝在不受上定盤及下定盤的旋轉的影響的位置。因此,能夠藉由雷射光確實測定工件的厚度及遊星輪的厚度之兩方,且能夠獲得更多關於工件的厚度的測定資料數。另外,在測定遊星輪的厚度時,因沒有每次將該遊星輪從研磨裝置卸除的必要,故工件的厚度與遊星輪的厚度的間隙管理變得容易,而能夠削減其作業步驟數。另外,因能夠防止遊星輪的卸除、再裝填所導致之遊星輪的變形或破損,故能夠防止該變形或破損導致對於上下定盤的研磨面的接觸不均使研磨面的狀態不穩定而導致工件的加工精度不均的發生,而能夠實現穩定的研磨加工。 According to the present invention, the first thickness measuring device for measuring the thickness of the workpiece by irradiating laser light to the workpiece is mounted on the upper plate supported to be rotatable, and irradiates at least a part of the cruise star made of a light-transmitting material. The second thickness measuring device that emits light to measure the thickness of the planetary wheel is installed at a position that is not affected by the rotation of the upper plate and the lower plate. Therefore, both the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel can be reliably measured by laser light, and more measurement data about the thickness of the workpiece can be obtained. In addition, when measuring the thickness of the planetary wheel, there is no need to remove the planetary wheel from the grinding device every time. Therefore, it is easy to manage the gap between the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel, and the number of work steps can be reduced. In addition, since it can prevent the planetary wheel from being deformed or damaged due to the removal and reloading of the planetary wheel, it is possible to prevent the deformation or damage from causing uneven contact with the grinding surfaces of the upper and lower surface plates to make the state of the grinding surfaces unstable. This results in uneven machining accuracy of the workpiece, and stable grinding can be achieved.

In this embodiment, although the laser light output from the light source 3 is an infrared laser, it can be any thickness of either the workpiece W or the cruise wheel 40. The measuring person may be other lasers.

針對用以測定工件W及遊星輪40的厚度測定的機構,係進一步作詳細說明。 The mechanism for measuring the thickness of the workpiece W and the star wheel 40 will be described in further detail.

於支承螺柱33係固定有保持支架36,藉由將第1厚度測定器21a保持於該保持支架36,使第1厚度測定器(探頭)21a安裝於上定盤20的上側。亦即,第1厚度測定器21a,係設置為與上定盤20一起旋轉。又,第1厚度測定器21a,係只要安裝為與上定盤20一起旋轉即可,固定在支承螺柱33以外的部位亦不妨。在該第1厚度測定器21a的正下方,係形成有將上定盤20上下貫穿的第1厚度測定孔23a。在第1厚度測定孔23a,係安裝有工件用測定窗24a。該工件用測定窗24a,係合成樹脂製或玻璃製等的筒狀體,且具有與第1厚度測定孔23a的口徑大致相等的外徑,在該工件用測定窗24a的上端,係設置有比第1厚度測定孔23a的直徑更為大徑的凸緣部25a,並藉由使該凸緣部25a卡合於上定盤20的表面而安裝。另外,在該工件用測定窗24a的下端,係設置有具有透光性的窗板26a。如此,第1厚度測定器21a係恆位於第1厚度測定孔23a的正上方,而能夠獲得更多關於工件W的 厚度的測定資料數。 A holding bracket 36 is fixed to the support stud 33. By holding the first thickness measuring device 21 a to the holding bracket 36, the first thickness measuring device (probe) 21 a is attached to the upper side of the upper platen 20. That is, the first thickness measuring device 21a is installed to rotate together with the upper platen 20. In addition, the first thickness measuring device 21a may be installed so as to rotate together with the upper platen 20, and it may be fixed to a location other than the support stud 33. Just below the first thickness measuring device 21a, a first thickness measuring hole 23a penetrating the upper platen 20 up and down is formed. The measurement window 24a for a workpiece|work is attached to the 1st thickness measurement hole 23a. The measurement window 24a for the workpiece is a cylindrical body made of synthetic resin or glass, and has an outer diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the first thickness measurement hole 23a. The upper end of the measurement window 24a for the workpiece is provided with The flange portion 25a having a larger diameter than the diameter of the first thickness measurement hole 23a is attached by engaging the flange portion 25a with the surface of the upper platen 20. In addition, a light-transmitting window plate 26a is provided at the lower end of the workpiece measurement window 24a. In this way, the first thickness measuring device 21a is constantly positioned directly above the first thickness measuring hole 23a, and more information about the workpiece W can be obtained. The number of thickness measurement data.

另外,如第2圖所示,第1厚度測定孔23a,係形成在研磨加工中通過工件W的中心附近的正上方的範圍E。藉此,第1厚度測定孔23a係能夠以通過工件W的中心或中心附近的方式測定工件W的厚度,因此,能夠進一步獲得更多關於工件W的厚度的測定資料。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first thickness measurement hole 23a is formed in a range E passing through the vicinity of the center of the workpiece W during polishing. Thereby, the first thickness measurement hole 23a can measure the thickness of the workpiece W so as to pass through the center or the vicinity of the center of the workpiece W. Therefore, more measurement data about the thickness of the workpiece W can be obtained.

第2厚度測定器(探頭)21b,係設置在不受上定盤20及下定盤10的旋轉的影響的位置,於本實施形態中係設置在機體2。藉此,能夠防止關於受到測定的遊星輪40的厚度的測定資料,混入研磨加工中所產生的振動導致的雜訊。在上定盤20之第2厚度測定器21b的正下方的位置,係形成有將上定盤20上下貫穿的第2厚度測定孔23b。在第2厚度測定孔23b,係具有與第1厚度測定孔23a相同的凸緣部25b及窗板26b的遊星輪用測定窗24b,將凸緣部25b卡合於上定盤20的表面而安裝。 The second thickness measuring device (probe) 21b is installed in a position not affected by the rotation of the upper platen 20 and the lower platen 10, and is installed in the body 2 in this embodiment. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the measurement data about the thickness of the planetary wheel 40 being measured from being mixed with noise caused by vibration generated during the grinding process. At a position directly below the second thickness measuring device 21b of the upper platen 20, a second thickness measuring hole 23b penetrating the upper platen 20 up and down is formed. In the second thickness measuring hole 23b, a measuring window 24b for the cruiser having the same flange portion 25b and window plate 26b as the first thickness measuring hole 23a, the flange portion 25b is engaged with the surface of the upper plate 20 installation.

並且,第1厚度測定孔23a及第2厚度測定孔23b,係以使第1厚度測定孔23a的中心與軸線L的距離、及第2厚度測定孔23b的中心與軸線L的距離為相等的方式,形成在上定盤20。亦即,第1厚度測定孔23a、第2厚度測定孔23b、第1厚度測定器21a、及第2厚度測定器21b,係以軸線L作為中心而設置在同一圓周上。 In addition, the first thickness measurement hole 23a and the second thickness measurement hole 23b are such that the distance between the center of the first thickness measurement hole 23a and the axis L and the distance between the center of the second thickness measurement hole 23b and the axis L are equal Way, formed on the upper plate 20. That is, the first thickness measurement hole 23a, the second thickness measurement hole 23b, the first thickness measurement device 21a, and the second thickness measurement device 21b are provided on the same circumference with the axis L as the center.

就窗板26a的材料而言,係使用從第1厚度測定器21a所照射的雷射光、及從工件W所反射的雷射光能夠穿透的材料,具體而言,係石英玻璃、BK-7等的 玻璃系材料、藍寶石、樹脂等具有透光性(光穿透性)的材料、較佳為透明的材料。就窗板26b的材料而言,係使用從第2厚度測定器21b所照射雷射光、及從遊星輪40所反射的雷射光能夠穿透的物質,具體而言,係石英玻璃、BK-7等的玻璃系材料、藍寶石、樹脂等具有透光性(光穿透性)的材料、較佳為透明的材料。 As for the material of the window plate 26a, the laser light irradiated from the first thickness measuring device 21a and the laser light reflected from the workpiece W are used to pass through, specifically, quartz glass, BK-7 Waiting Glass-based materials, sapphire, resin, and other materials having light transmittance (light transmittance) are preferably transparent materials. As for the material of the window plate 26b, the laser light irradiated from the second thickness measuring device 21b and the laser light reflected from the star wheel 40 can penetrate, specifically, quartz glass, BK-7 Such as glass-based materials, sapphire, resin, and other materials having light transmittance (light transmittance), preferably transparent materials.

在升降桿32,於與升降桿32的軸線L相同的軸線上配置有旋轉接頭6。於本實施方式中,在升降桿32的下端部與定盤懸吊件31之間配置有旋轉接頭6,並透過該旋轉接頭6,使光源3與第1厚度測定器21a藉由光纜51a作連接。 In the lifting rod 32, a rotary joint 6 is arranged on the same axis as the axis L of the lifting rod 32. In this embodiment, a rotary joint 6 is arranged between the lower end of the lifting rod 32 and the table suspension 31, and through the rotary joint 6, the light source 3 and the first thickness measuring device 21a are operated by the optical cable 51a. connection.

使用以上的厚度測定裝置,在進行管理工件的厚度與遊星輪的厚度的差之間隙管理方式的研磨時,遊星輪40的厚度的測定係於工件W非研磨時進行,工件的厚度的測定係於研磨中進行。 Using the above thickness measuring device, when performing the grinding of the gap management method that manages the difference between the thickness of the workpiece and the thickness of the planetary wheel, the thickness of the planetary wheel 40 is measured when the workpiece W is not polished, and the thickness of the workpiece is measured It is carried out during grinding.

亦即,遊星輪40的厚度測定,係在研磨最初的工件之前進行,或是於工件的研磨結束後進行研磨漿液或洗淨水等之去除水分之後、於研磨下個工件W之前進行。 That is, the thickness measurement of the planetary wheel 40 is performed before the first workpiece is polished, or after the polishing of the workpiece is completed, after removing water from the polishing slurry or washing water, and before the next workpiece W is polished.

具體而言,遊星輪40的厚度測定,係在安裝於第2厚度測定孔23b的遊星輪用測定窗24b位於第2厚度測定器21b的正下方的狀態下,使上定盤20的旋轉停止並且上升的狀態,並在該狀態下,一邊使遊星輪40緩緩自轉及公轉一邊進行。此時,從第2厚度測定器21b所照射的雷射光,係通過遊星輪用測定窗24b的窗板26b而到達遊 星輪40的表面及裏面,且來自該表面及裏面的反射光係通過窗板26b而以第2厚度測定器21b收訊。並且,所收訊的反射光,係透過光纜51b傳遞至運算控制部4,而根據該反射光,遊星輪40的厚度係受到運算控制部4所運算。 Specifically, the thickness measurement of the star wheel 40 is performed by stopping the rotation of the upper surface plate 20 with the star wheel measuring window 24b installed in the second thickness measuring hole 23b positioned directly below the second thickness measuring device 21b. In the ascending state, in this state, the star wheel 40 is slowly rotated and revolved. At this time, the laser light irradiated from the second thickness measuring device 21b passes through the window plate 26b of the measuring window 24b for the planetary wheel and reaches the swimming pool. The surface and the back surface of the star wheel 40, and the reflected light from the surface and the back surface passes through the window plate 26b and is received by the second thickness measuring device 21b. In addition, the received reflected light is transmitted to the calculation control unit 4 through the optical cable 51b, and the thickness of the star wheel 40 is calculated by the calculation control unit 4 based on the reflected light.

此時,第2厚度測定器21b,因係從光源3不透過旋轉接頭6而以光纜51b作連接,故不致如以旋轉接頭6作連接的情形般受到照射於遊星輪40的雷射光或其反射光的衰減或雜訊所導致的影響,而能夠確實測定其厚度。 At this time, since the second thickness measuring device 21b is connected by the optical cable 51b without passing through the rotary joint 6 from the light source 3, it will not receive the laser light irradiated on the cruise wheel 40 or the like when the rotary joint 6 is connected. The thickness can be reliably measured due to the attenuation of reflected light or the influence of noise.

另一方面,工件W的厚度測定,係在一邊對上定盤20與下定盤10之間供給研磨漿液,一邊研磨工件W時進行。 On the other hand, the thickness measurement of the workpiece W is performed while grinding the workpiece W while supplying the polishing slurry between the upper table 20 and the lower table 10.

具體而言,從第1厚度測定器21a所照射的雷射光,係從光源3所輸出的雷射光,並藉由透過旋轉接頭6的光纜51a所傳遞。從第1厚度測定器21a所照射的雷射光,係在工件W位於安裝在形成於第1厚度測定器21a正下方的第1厚度測定孔23a的工件用測定窗24a的窗板26a的正下方時(工件W通過窗板26a正下方時),通過窗板26a而到達工件W的表面及裏面,且來自工件W的表面及裏面的反射光係通過窗板26a而以第1厚度測定器21a受光。並且,所受光的反射光,係透過光纜51a、旋轉接頭6而傳遞至運算控制部4,而根據該反射光,工件W的厚度係受到運算控制部4所運算。 Specifically, the laser light irradiated from the first thickness measuring device 21 a is the laser light output from the light source 3 and is transmitted by the optical cable 51 a that passes through the rotary joint 6. The laser light irradiated from the first thickness measuring device 21a is located directly below the window plate 26a of the workpiece measuring window 24a installed in the first thickness measuring hole 23a formed directly under the first thickness measuring device 21a. When the workpiece W passes directly under the window plate 26a, it passes through the window plate 26a and reaches the surface and the back surface of the workpiece W, and the reflected light from the surface and the back surface of the workpiece W passes through the window plate 26a to be measured by the first thickness measuring device 21a By the light. The reflected light of the received light is transmitted to the calculation control unit 4 through the optical cable 51 a and the rotary joint 6, and the thickness of the workpiece W is calculated by the calculation control unit 4 based on the reflected light.

所測定的工件W的厚度及遊星輪40的厚度, 係以運算控制部4作比較,並在該等的差達到預定的值時結束研磨。藉此,能夠獲得平坦度高的所期望的工件W。 The measured thickness of the workpiece W and the thickness of the star wheel 40, The arithmetic control unit 4 compares, and finishes polishing when the difference reaches a predetermined value. Thereby, the desired workpiece W with high flatness can be obtained.

又,於本實施形態中,第1厚度測定器21a及第2厚度測定器21b,係以使第1厚度測定孔23a及第2厚度測定孔23b離軸線L為等距離的方式形成在上定盤20。然而,考慮到裝置構造,第1厚度測定器21a與第1厚度測定孔23a、或是第2厚度測定器21b與第2厚度測定孔23b,係形成在離軸線L的距離為不同距離的位置亦可。 In addition, in this embodiment, the first thickness measuring device 21a and the second thickness measuring device 21b are formed on the upper side so that the first thickness measuring hole 23a and the second thickness measuring hole 23b are equidistant from the axis L. Disk 20. However, considering the structure of the device, the first thickness measuring device 21a and the first thickness measuring hole 23a, or the second thickness measuring device 21b and the second thickness measuring hole 23b are formed at positions at different distances from the axis L It can be.

另外,遊星輪40的厚度測定,係在工件W的研磨時進行亦可。該工件W研磨時的遊星輪40的厚度測定,係在藉由上定盤20的旋轉、與遊星輪40的自轉及公轉,而遊星輪40位於第2厚度測定器21b及第2厚度測定孔23b的正下方時作測定。此時,因上定盤20與下定盤10之間被供給有研磨漿液,故以第2厚度測定器21b所收訊的反射光,係雖包含起因於研磨漿液或洗淨水等的雜訊,然而藉由適當選擇使來自遊星輪40的反射強度比雜訊的值更大的遊星輪40的材料,能夠進行雜訊的影響較少的測定。 In addition, the thickness measurement of the planetary wheel 40 may be performed when the workpiece W is being polished. The thickness measurement of the planetary wheel 40 during the grinding of the workpiece W is based on the rotation of the upper plate 20 and the rotation and revolution of the planetary wheel 40, and the planetary wheel 40 is located in the second thickness measuring device 21b and the second thickness measuring hole Measure when it is directly below 23b. At this time, since the polishing slurry is supplied between the upper platen 20 and the lower platen 10, the reflected light received by the second thickness measuring device 21b includes noise caused by the polishing slurry, washing water, etc. However, by appropriately selecting the material of the cruise star 40 whose reflection intensity from the cruise star 40 is greater than the value of the noise, it is possible to perform the measurement with less influence of the noise.

另外,在工件W的研磨時進行遊星輪40的厚度測定的情形下,係於上定盤20形成複數個第2厚度測定孔23b為佳。此時,各第2厚度測定孔23b,係形成為在以軸線L為中心點的相同圓周上彼此為等距離,且形成為各第2厚度測定孔23b與軸線L的距離、及第2厚度測定器 21b與軸線L的距離相等。 In addition, when measuring the thickness of the planetary wheel 40 during the grinding of the workpiece W, it is preferable to form a plurality of second thickness measurement holes 23b on the upper surface plate 20. At this time, the second thickness measurement holes 23b are formed to be equidistant from each other on the same circumference centered on the axis L, and are formed as the distance between the second thickness measurement holes 23b and the axis L and the second thickness Tester The distance between 21b and the axis L is equal.

進而,以第1厚度測定器21a及第2厚度測定器21b所測定之關於工件W及遊星輪40的厚度的測定資料,雖係維持反射光的狀態以運算控制部4作演算,然而將來自工件W及遊星輪40的反射光以第1厚度測定器21a及第2厚度測定器21b轉換為電訊號,並經由將該第1厚度測定器21a與運算控制部4透過旋轉接頭6作連結的電纜(不圖示)而傳送至運算控制部4,而經由將該第2厚度測定器21b與運算控制部4不透過旋轉接頭6作連結的電纜(不圖示)而傳送至運算控制部4亦可,或者,藉由從第1厚度測定器21a及第2厚度測定器21b以無線傳送至運算控制部4,亦能夠獲得與本發明相同的作用效果。 Furthermore, although the measurement data about the thickness of the workpiece W and the planetary wheel 40 measured by the first thickness measuring device 21a and the second thickness measuring device 21b are maintained in the state of the reflected light, the calculation control unit 4 calculates the data from The reflected light of the workpiece W and the star wheel 40 is converted into electrical signals by the first thickness measuring device 21a and the second thickness measuring device 21b, and the first thickness measuring device 21a and the calculation control unit 4 are connected through the rotary joint 6 A cable (not shown) is sent to the calculation control unit 4, and is sent to the calculation control unit 4 via a cable (not shown) connecting the second thickness measuring device 21b and the calculation control unit 4 without passing through the rotary joint 6 Alternatively, or by wirelessly transmitting from the first thickness measuring device 21a and the second thickness measuring device 21b to the arithmetic control unit 4, the same effects as the present invention can be obtained.

進而,光源3、運算控制部4、及第2厚度測定器21b的設置位置,係只要設置在伴隨上定盤20或下定盤10等的旋轉或升降的構成以外的部位,藉由與機體2為另外設置的保持手段等,設置在機體2以外的部位亦能夠獲得本發明的作用效果。 Furthermore, the installation positions of the light source 3, the arithmetic control unit 4, and the second thickness measuring device 21b are required to be installed at locations other than the configuration accompanying the rotation or elevation of the upper plate 20 or the lower plate 10, etc., by connecting with the body 2 It is also possible to obtain the effects of the present invention if it is provided at a location other than the body 2 for additional holding means or the like.
