本發明係有關於工件的兩面研磨方法。The invention relates to a method for grinding both sides of a workpiece.
供研磨的工件典型例即矽晶圓等的半導體晶圓的製造中,為了得到更高精度的晶圓平坦度品質、表面粗糙度品質,一般採用同時研磨晶圓正反面的兩面研磨步驟(例如,專利文獻1)。 [先行技術文獻] [專利文獻]In the manufacture of semiconductor wafers such as silicon wafers, which are typical examples of workpieces for polishing, in order to obtain higher-precision wafer flatness quality and surface roughness quality, a two-sided polishing step (such as , Patent Document 1). [Advanced Technical Literature] [Patent Literature]
[專利文獻1]國際公開第2014–2467號公報[Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2014-2467
[發明所欲解決的課題][The problem to be solved by the invention]
可是,要求根據其用途等種種控制晶圓形狀,例如,進行磊晶成長的情況下,尤其成長4μm(微米)以上的膜厚的磊晶層之際,有時候最好有意圖地下降晶圓外周。However, it is required to control the shape of the wafer according to its application. For example, in the case of epitaxial growth, especially when growing an epitaxial layer with a thickness of 4 μm (micrometer) or more, it is sometimes better to lower the wafer intentionally. Peripheral.
這樣的情況下,例如,透過使用硬度低的研磨墊進行兩面研磨,根據研磨墊的彈性變形,考慮有意圖地下降晶圓外周等。In such a case, for example, double-sided polishing is performed by using a polishing pad with low hardness, and it is considered that the outer periphery of the wafer is intentionally lowered based on the elastic deformation of the polishing pad.
但是,使用硬度低的研磨墊時,恐怕有晶圓全面的平坦度(例如,GBIR)下降等的問題產生。因此,要求其它可以有意圖地控制晶圓外周形狀的手法。於是,這樣的問題,不只是晶圓,提供給兩面研磨的工件中一般也會產生。However, when a low-hardness polishing pad is used, there may be problems such as a decrease in the flatness (for example, GBIR) of the entire wafer. Therefore, other methods that can intentionally control the shape of the outer periphery of the wafer are required. Therefore, such problems generally occur not only in wafers, but also in workpieces provided for double-sided polishing.
本發明的目的在於提供工件的兩面研磨方法,可以有意圖地控制工件的外周形狀。 [用以解決課題的手段]The object of the present invention is to provide a double-sided grinding method of a workpiece, which can intentionally control the outer peripheral shape of the workpiece. [Means to solve the problem]
本發明的要旨構成,如下: 本發明工件的研磨方法係工件的兩面研磨方法,具有支撐工件的1個以上的支撐孔之輸送板(carrier plate)在上述支撐孔中支撐上述工件,進行上述工件的兩面研磨,上述方法的特徵在於包括: 取得上述支撐孔的內周徑與上述工件的邊緣下降(edge roll-off)量的關係之步驟; 根據預期的邊緣下降(edge roll-off)量以及取得的上述支撐孔內周徑與上述工件的邊緣下降(edge roll-off)量間的關係,決定上述支持孔內周徑的步驟;以及 使用具有決定的內周徑的上述支撐孔的上述輸送板,進行上述工件的兩面研磨的步驟。The essential structure of the present invention is as follows: The grinding method of the workpiece of the present invention is a double-sided grinding method of the workpiece. A carrier plate having one or more support holes for supporting the workpiece supports the workpiece in the support hole, and performs double-sided grinding of the workpiece. The characteristics of the method are It includes: The step of obtaining the relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the edge roll-off amount of the workpiece; The step of determining the inner circumference of the support hole according to the expected edge roll-off amount and the obtained relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the edge roll-off amount of the workpiece; and The step of polishing both sides of the workpiece is performed using the transport plate having the support hole with the determined inner circumferential diameter.
在此,所謂「roll–off(下降)」,係指工件外周部下垂,外周部厚度減少。所謂「下降量」,係工件外周部的下垂量,邊緣下降量越大,工件外周部的下垂越大,因此意味外周部的厚度越薄。Here, the so-called "roll-off" means that the outer circumference of the workpiece sags and the thickness of the outer circumference decreases. The so-called "descent amount" refers to the amount of sagging of the outer circumference of the workpiece. The greater the amount of edge drop, the greater the sagging of the outer circumference of the workpiece, which means that the thickness of the outer circumference is thinner.
作為「邊緣下降量」的指標,例如可以使用ESFQR。所謂「ESFQR」,係指示SEMI規格規定的晶圓平坦度之指標,關於晶圓全周的周緣區域中形成的扇形(離晶圓外周30mm(毫米)的範圍往圓周方向72等分)各區域的晶圓厚度,透過算出離最小平方法求出的基準面之最大變位量絕對值和求出。「ESFQRmax」,係其中最大值。但是,工件是晶圓的情況下等,因為外緣有可能去角,例如,可以將離外周緣往徑方向1mm的區域除外作為除外區域。
外周緣下降的晶圓中,「ESFQR」越大,意味「下降量」越大。As an indicator of the "edge reduction amount", for example, ESFQR can be used. The so-called "ESFQR" is an index indicating the flatness of the wafer as specified in the SEMI specification. It refers to the sector formed in the peripheral area of the wafer (30mm (millimeter) from the outer periphery of the wafer is divided into 72 equal parts in the circumferential direction). The thickness of the wafer is calculated by calculating the absolute value of the maximum displacement of the reference plane obtained by the least square method. "ESFQRmax" is the maximum value. However, when the workpiece is a wafer, because the outer edge may be chamfered, for example, an
又,「內周徑」,係支撐孔的內周面(例如樹脂製的)具有插入物時,稱作上述插入物的內周徑。In addition, the "inner peripheral diameter" refers to the inner peripheral diameter of the aforementioned insert when the inner peripheral surface (for example, made of resin) of the support hole has an insert.
在此,上述邊緣下降量,最好是固定尺寸狀態下的邊緣下降量。 所謂「固定尺寸狀態」,係指直到工件厚度與輸送板的厚度相同為止,兩面研磨工件的狀態。Here, the above-mentioned edge drop amount is preferably an edge drop amount in a state of a fixed size. The so-called "fixed size state" refers to the state where the workpiece is polished on both sides until the thickness of the workpiece is the same as the thickness of the conveying plate.
一般,兩面研磨中,因為使用彈性體的研磨墊同時研磨工件的正反面,如圖5的狀態A〜狀態C所示,研磨工件(圖5中,顯示為晶圓)下去。即,如圖5所示,研磨初期(狀態A)中,工件的全面形狀,係上凸形狀,工件外周也看到大的下垂形狀,邊緣下降量變大。此時,工件厚度比起輸送板厚度足夠厚。進行研磨時(狀態B),工件全面形狀,成為大致平面形狀,晶圓外周的邊緣下降量變小。此時,工件厚度與輸送板厚度,大致相等。之後,進行研磨時(狀態C),工件形狀漸漸形成中心部凹下形狀,工件外周成為上升形狀。狀態C中,輸送板厚度,成為比工件厚度厚的狀態。上述狀態B係固定尺寸狀態。Generally, in double-sided polishing, since an elastomeric polishing pad is used to simultaneously polish the front and back of the workpiece, as shown in states A to C in FIG. 5, the workpiece (shown as a wafer in FIG. 5) is polished. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the initial stage of polishing (state A), the overall shape of the workpiece is an upward convex shape, a large drooping shape is also seen on the outer periphery of the workpiece, and the amount of edge drop becomes large. At this time, the thickness of the workpiece is sufficiently thicker than the thickness of the conveying plate. During polishing (state B), the overall shape of the workpiece becomes a substantially flat shape, and the amount of edge drop of the outer periphery of the wafer becomes small. At this time, the thickness of the workpiece is approximately equal to the thickness of the conveying plate. After that, when polishing is performed (state C), the shape of the workpiece gradually becomes a concave shape in the center portion, and the outer periphery of the workpiece becomes a raised shape. In state C, the thickness of the conveying plate becomes thicker than the thickness of the workpiece. The above state B is a fixed size state.
又,上述決定的內周徑,最好比上述工件的直徑大1mm〜5mm。In addition, it is preferable that the inner circumferential diameter determined as described above is 1 mm to 5 mm larger than the diameter of the workpiece.
又,上述兩面研磨使用研磨墊進行。 上述研磨墊的表面硬度(ASKER C)最好是70〜90。 在此,「研磨墊的表面硬度(ASKER C)」是以ASKER C硬度計測量的。In addition, the above-mentioned double-sided polishing was performed using a polishing pad. The surface hardness (ASKER C) of the above-mentioned polishing pad is preferably 70-90. Here, "the surface hardness of the polishing pad (ASKER C)" is measured with the ASKER C hardness meter.
又,上述工件,最好是矽晶圓。In addition, the above-mentioned workpiece is preferably a silicon wafer.
又,更包含取得上述支撐孔的內周徑與上述工件的端面表面粗糙度的關係之步驟; 決定上述支撐孔內周徑的步驟中,上述支撐孔的內周徑,最好根據預期的上述工件端面表面粗糙度以及取得的上述支撐孔內周徑與上述工件端面表面粗糙度的關係決定。 [發明效果]Furthermore, it further includes a step of obtaining the relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the surface roughness of the end surface of the workpiece; In the step of determining the inner circumference of the support hole, the inner circumference of the support hole is preferably determined based on the expected surface roughness of the workpiece end surface and the obtained relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the surface roughness of the workpiece end surface.

兩面研磨裝置100,除了支撐孔1的內周徑以之後敘述的手法決定的點之外,可以與工件(晶圓W)的兩面研磨中通常使用的兩面研磨裝置形成相同構成。以下,說明關於其一例。The double-sided
如圖1所示,本實施形態的工件的兩面研磨裝置100,具有1個以上(圖示例中1個)的輸送板2,輸送板2具有支撐工件(本實施形態是晶圓W(例如矽晶圓))的1個以上(圖示例中1個)的支撐孔1。

如圖1所示,上下的旋轉平台3的對向面,即上平台3a研磨面的下面側以及下平台3b研磨面的上面側上,分別黏貼研磨墊6。As shown in FIG. 1, the double-
又,如圖1所示,輸送板2,設計在上平台3a與下平台3b之間。又,圖示例中,此兩面研磨裝置100,只有1個輸送板2,但具有複數輸送板2也可以,又,支撐孔1的數量也只要1個以上,2個以上也可以。圖示例中,支撐孔1中支撐工件(晶圓W)。
本例中,對兩面研磨裝置100的研磨提供的工件(晶圓W)直徑,是300mm,但不限定於此情況。又,工件是晶圓W的情況下,不特別限定晶體方位、導電型等。Moreover, as shown in Fig. 1, the
在此,兩面研磨裝置100,係透過旋轉太陽齒輪4與內齒輪5,可以使輸送板2公轉運動及自轉運動的行星運動之行星齒輪方式的兩面研磨裝置。即,一邊供給研磨液,一邊使輸送板2行星運動,透過同時對輸送板2相對旋轉上平台3a與下平台3b,滑動上下的旋轉平台3上貼附的研磨墊6與輸送板2在支撐孔1中支撐的工件(晶圓W)兩面,可以同時研磨工件(晶圓W)兩面。Here, the double-

圖2,係本發明的一實施形態的工件兩面研磨方法流程圖。
如圖2所示,本實施形態的工件兩面研磨方法中,首先,取得支撐孔1的內周徑與工件(晶圓W)的邊緣下降量的關係(步驟S101:第1步驟)。<Method of grinding both sides of workpiece>
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for polishing both sides of a workpiece according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the method for polishing both sides of a workpiece according to this embodiment, first, the relationship between the inner circumference of the
在此,詳細說明支撐孔1的內周徑與工件(晶圓W)邊緣下降量的關係。圖3,係顯示輸送板的支撐孔內周徑與ESFQRmax的關係圖。又,如上述,ESFQR,係邊緣下降量指標之1。圖3的ESFQR,表示固定尺寸狀態中的ESFQR。關於圖3的實驗細節,之後在實施例中敘述。Here, the relationship between the inner circumferential diameter of the
本發明者們,為了解決上述課題專心研討的結果,如圖3所示,隨著輸送板的支撐孔內周徑變大,判明邊緣下降量(圖3中是ESFQRmax)變大。 在此,研磨初期(圖5的狀態A)中,因為晶圓厚度比輸送板厚度厚,晶圓外周部以有彈性的研磨墊直接研磨。從那兒起進行研磨,晶圓厚度變得與輸送板厚度同程度起來時,晶圓外周部成為由輸送板保護,研磨墊對晶圓外周部的作用減少,相對地晶圓中央部研磨量變大,晶圓變得平坦(狀態B),之後,晶圓厚度變得比輸送板厚度薄時,晶圓外周部由輸送板保護的同時,因為晶圓中央部的研磨進行,晶圓中央部成為凹下的形狀(狀態C)。 由此可見,支撐孔內周面與工件(晶圓W)的間隙變大時,上述晶圓外周部由輸送板保護,外周部研磨量降低的效果變小,又,支撐孔的內周徑越大,研磨液的介入量越多,由於促進研磨等,透過研磨率及蝕刻力增大,隨著輸送板的支撐孔內周徑變大,認為邊緣下降量變大。As a result of intensive research in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the inventors found that as the inner circumference of the support hole of the conveying plate increases, as shown in FIG. 3, the edge drop amount (ESFQRmax in FIG. 3) increases. Here, in the initial stage of polishing (state A in FIG. 5), since the thickness of the wafer is thicker than the thickness of the transport plate, the outer periphery of the wafer is directly polished with an elastic polishing pad. When polishing is carried out from there, and the thickness of the wafer becomes the same as the thickness of the transport plate, the outer periphery of the wafer is protected by the transport plate, the effect of the polishing pad on the outer periphery of the wafer is reduced, and the polishing amount of the center of the wafer is relatively increased. , The wafer becomes flat (state B), and then, when the thickness of the wafer becomes thinner than the thickness of the transport plate, the outer periphery of the wafer is protected by the transport plate, and the polishing of the center of the wafer progresses, and the center of the wafer becomes Depressed shape (state C). It can be seen that when the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the support hole and the workpiece (wafer W) becomes larger, the outer peripheral portion of the wafer is protected by the transport plate, and the effect of reducing the amount of grinding of the outer peripheral portion becomes smaller. In addition, the inner peripheral diameter of the support hole The larger the amount, the more the amount of polishing liquid is introduced, and the penetration polishing rate and the etching force increase due to the promotion of polishing and the like. As the inner circumference of the support hole of the conveying plate increases, the amount of edge drop is considered to increase.
這樣,支撐孔1的內周徑與工件(晶圓W)的邊緣下降量有相關關係,具體地,如上述,具有隨著輸送板的支撐孔內周徑變大邊緣下降量變大的關係。
因此,步驟S101(第1步驟)中,關於兩面研磨工件(晶圓W)之際(例如研磨至固定尺寸狀態為止之際)的支撐孔1的內周徑以及當時的工件(晶圓W)的邊緣下降量,透過預先準備多數足夠的資料,根據其資料本身或對其資料施行統計處理等或其資料,可以取得數式化支撐孔1的內周徑與工件(晶圓W)的邊緣下降量的關係等,作為支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係。
例如,上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係,也可以收納在具有記憶部(記憶體等)的電腦內,或者,由具有通訊部的電腦等收發上述關係的資訊也可以。上述資訊,可以即時或適時更新。In this way, the inner circumference of the
其次,如圖2所示,本實施形態中,根據預期的邊緣下降量以及取得的上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係,決定支撐孔的內周徑(步驟S102:第2步驟)。
如上述,支撐孔1的內周徑與工件(晶圓W)邊緣下降量有相關關係,具體地,具有隨著輸送板的支撐板內周徑變大邊緣下降量變大的關係,步驟S101(第1步驟)中,取得其關係。
因此,透過決定預期的邊緣下降量,使用取得的上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係,可以決定兩面研磨中使用的輸送板的支撐孔內周徑。
例如,取得(例如以一次式)數式化支撐孔內周徑與邊緣下降量的關係,作為步驟S101(第1步驟)中上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係的情況下,代入預期的邊緣下降量至上述數式,可以求出兩面研磨中使用的輸送板的支撐孔內周徑。不特別限定,但因為輸送板的內周徑,也經常是整數值,也可以根據四捨五入等求出整數值。或者,上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係,可以就這樣使用資料,使用可以達成預期的邊緣下降量(以及與其接近的邊緣下降量)之輸送板的支撐孔資料,可以決定兩面研磨中使用的輸送板的支撐孔內周徑。例如,可以算出可以達成預期的邊緣下降量(以及與其接近的邊緣下降量)之輸送板的支撐孔資料平均值。同樣地,不特別限定,但因為輸送板的內周徑,也經常是整數值,也可以根據四捨五入等求出整數值。或者,也可以決定可以達成預期的邊緣下降量(以及與其接近的邊緣下降量)最多數量的輸送板的支撐孔內周徑,作為兩面研磨中使用的輸送板的支撐孔內周徑。
又,對上述資料施行統計處理作為上述支撐孔內周徑與工件邊緣下降量的關係所得到的情況也可以實行。
例如,上述決定,可以以具有計算部(calculator)的電腦實行。Next, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the inner circumference of the support hole is determined based on the expected edge drop amount and the obtained relationship between the support hole inner diameter and the workpiece edge drop amount (step S102: second step ).
As described above, the inner circumference of the
其次,如圖2所示,本實施形態,使用具有決定的內周徑支撐孔的輸送板,進行工件(晶圓W)的兩面研磨(步驟S103:第3步驟)。步驟S103(第3步驟)中的兩面研磨,例如,可以使用利用圖1說明的兩面研磨裝置100進行。此時,兩面研磨裝置的輸送板,最好換成具有決定的內周徑支撐孔之輸送板,但重新準備備置具有決定的內周徑支撐孔之輸送板的兩面研磨裝置也可以。兩面研磨,可以以通常的方法實行。例如,如上述,一邊供給研磨液,一邊使輸送板2行星運動,同時透過對輸送板2相對旋轉上平台3a與下平台3b,滑動上下的旋轉平台3上貼附的研磨墊6與輸送板2在支撐孔1中支撐的工件(晶圓W)兩面,可以同時研磨工件(晶圓W)兩面。
以下,說明關於本實施形態的工件的兩面研磨方法。Next, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the double-sided polishing of the workpiece (wafer W) is performed using a conveying plate having a support hole having a determined inner circumferential diameter (step S103: third step). The double-sided polishing in step S103 (the third step) can be performed, for example, using the double-
根據本實施形態的工件的兩面研磨方法,透過使用具有經過既定的步驟(第1及第2步驟)決定的內周徑支撐孔之輸送板的簡易手法,可以有意圖地控制工件(晶圓W)的外周形狀。即,決定的內周徑支撐孔,為了對應預期的邊緣下降量,有意圖地控制工件(晶圓W)的外周形狀。根據本實施形態的工件的兩面研磨方法,作為研磨墊,因為使用表面硬度(ASKER C)70〜90的研磨墊,相較於換成硬度低的研磨墊的情況,不會產生材料交換的損失等,又,也不產生使用硬度低的研磨墊引起的工件(晶圓W)全面平坦度(GBIR等)下降的問題。還有,根據本實施形態的工件的兩面研磨方法,工件(晶圓W)與輸送板支撐孔內周面的接觸面積減少,因為促進工件(晶圓W)的自轉,也如之後敘述的實施例所示,降低工件(晶圓W)的端面粗糙度,也可以提高端面的表面品質。According to the double-sided polishing method of the workpiece according to this embodiment, it is possible to intentionally control the workpiece (wafer W ) Of the outer peripheral shape. In other words, the determined inner circumferential diameter of the support hole intentionally controls the outer circumferential shape of the workpiece (wafer W) in order to correspond to the expected edge drop amount. According to the double-sided polishing method of a workpiece according to this embodiment, as the polishing pad, a polishing pad with a surface hardness (ASKER C) of 70 to 90 is used. Compared with the case of replacing a polishing pad with a low hardness, there is no loss of material exchange. In addition, there is no problem that the overall flatness (GBIR, etc.) of the workpiece (wafer W) is reduced due to the use of a low-hardness polishing pad. Also, according to the double-sided polishing method of the workpiece according to this embodiment, the contact area between the workpiece (wafer W) and the inner peripheral surface of the support hole of the conveying plate is reduced, because the rotation of the workpiece (wafer W) is promoted, and it is also implemented as described later. As shown in the example, reducing the roughness of the end surface of the workpiece (wafer W) can also improve the surface quality of the end surface.
在此,邊緣下降量(步驟S101中的工件邊緣下降量及步驟S102中預期的邊緣下降量),最好是固定尺寸狀態下的邊緣下降量。原因是,為了得到預期的邊緣下降量,相較於從固定尺寸狀態再施行研磨的情況,並沒有對工件全面的平坦度等的不好影響。另一方面,比固定尺寸狀態前面的狀態(圖5的狀態A)下,也可以得到更大的邊緣下降量(下垂量)。Here, the edge drop amount (the workpiece edge drop amount in step S101 and the expected edge drop amount in step S102) is preferably the edge drop amount in a fixed size state. The reason is that, in order to obtain the expected edge drop amount, compared to the case where polishing is performed from a fixed size state, there is no adverse effect on the overall flatness of the workpiece. On the other hand, even in the state before the fixed size state (state A in FIG. 5), a greater amount of edge drop (amount of sag) can be obtained.
又,決定的內周徑,最好比工件直徑大1mm〜5mm大。原因是,透過決定的內周徑比工件直徑大1mm以上的範圍,更確實地,支撐孔的內周面與工件(晶圓W)的間隙變大,可以得到外周部由輸送板保護的上述效果減弱以及研磨液的介入量變多的效果,另一方面,透過決定的支撐孔內周徑比工件直徑大5mm以下的範圍,可以更確實支撐工件在支撐孔中。 又,不特別限定,但因為工件直徑及輸送板的工件支撐孔內周徑經常是整數值,決定的內周徑在上述範圍內最好是整數值。 例如,工件直徑是300mm的情況下,輸送板的工件支撐孔內周徑,最好是301mm、302mm、303mm、304mm、305mm其中之一。In addition, the determined inner circumferential diameter is preferably 1 mm to 5 mm larger than the diameter of the workpiece. The reason is that by determining a range where the inner circumference is larger than the workpiece diameter by 1 mm or more, the gap between the inner circumference of the support hole and the workpiece (wafer W) increases more reliably, and the outer circumference is protected by the transport plate. The effect is weakened and the amount of grinding fluid is increased. On the other hand, by determining the range where the inner circumference of the support hole is greater than the diameter of the workpiece by 5mm or less, the workpiece can be supported in the support hole more reliably. Also, it is not particularly limited, but since the diameter of the workpiece and the inner circumference of the workpiece support hole of the conveying plate are always integer values, it is preferable that the determined inner circumference be an integer value within the above-mentioned range. For example, when the diameter of the workpiece is 300 mm, the inner circumference of the workpiece support hole of the conveying plate is preferably one of 301 mm, 302 mm, 303 mm, 304 mm, or 305 mm.
又,兩面研磨,使用研磨墊進行,研磨墊的表面硬度(ASKER C)最好是70〜90。原因是,相較於換成硬度低的研磨墊的情況,不會產生材料交換的損失,又,也不產生使用硬度低的研磨墊引起的工件(晶圓W)全面平坦度(GBIR等)下降的問題。In addition, double-sided polishing is performed using a polishing pad, and the surface hardness (ASKER C) of the polishing pad is preferably 70 to 90. The reason is that compared with the case of replacing with a low-hardness polishing pad, there is no loss of material exchange, and there is no overall flatness of the workpiece (wafer W) caused by the use of a low-hardness polishing pad (GBIR, etc.) The problem of falling.
又,步驟S103(第3步驟)中的兩面研磨結束之際,最好測量工件外周部的下降量(例如ESFQR)。藉此,回饋上述結果,可以更新資料,能夠提高得到下次開始的兩面研磨之際預期的邊緣下降量的精度。In addition, when the double-sided polishing in step S103 (the third step) is completed, it is preferable to measure the amount of descent of the outer peripheral portion of the workpiece (for example, ESFQR). In this way, the above-mentioned results are fed back, the data can be updated, and the accuracy of obtaining the expected edge drop amount when the double-sided polishing is started next time can be improved.
在此,更包含取得支撐孔內周徑與工件的端面表面粗糙度的關係之步驟,決定支撐孔內周徑的步驟中,支撐孔內周徑,最好根據預期的工件端面表面粗糙度以及取得的上述支撐孔內周徑與工件的端面表面粗糙度的關係決定。 也如之後敘述的圖4所示,因為有輸送板的工件支撐孔的內周徑越大而研磨後的工件端面表面粗糙度Ra越小的相關關係,鑑於預期的邊緣下降量與預期的工件端面表面粗糙度兩方,決定輸送板的工件支撐孔的適當內周徑,可以同時有意圖地控制工件的外周形狀與工件的端面表面粗糙度。Here, it further includes the step of obtaining the relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the surface roughness of the end surface of the workpiece. In the step of determining the inner circumference of the support hole, the inner circumference of the support hole is preferably based on the expected surface roughness of the end surface of the workpiece and The obtained relationship between the inner circumference of the support hole and the surface roughness of the end surface of the workpiece is determined. As shown in Fig. 4 described later, because the inner diameter of the workpiece support hole with the conveying plate is larger, the surface roughness Ra of the workpiece end surface after grinding is smaller. In view of the expected edge drop amount and the expected workpiece The surface roughness of the end surface determines the appropriate inner circumference of the workpiece support hole of the conveying plate, and the outer peripheral shape of the workpiece and the surface roughness of the end surface of the workpiece can be intentionally controlled at the same time.
以上,說明關於本發明的實施形態,但本發明完全不受上述實施形態限定。例如,作為外周部的邊緣下降量,不限定於使用ESFQR作為指標的情況。 以下,說明關於本發明的實施例,但本發明完全不受以下實施例限定。 [實施例]Above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned embodiments at all. For example, the amount of edge drop in the outer peripheral portion is not limited to the case where ESFQR is used as an index. Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited by the following examples at all. [Example]
準備工件的支撐孔內周徑不同的輸送板(內周徑301mm、302mm、303mm、304mm、305mm),對於徑300mm的晶圓,使用圖1所示的兩面研磨裝置,實施兩面研磨。
實施兩面研磨後,把離晶圓外周緣往徑方向1mm的區域作為邊緣除外區域除外的ESFQR,使用平坦度測量裝置(KLA Tencor公司製:Wafersight2)測量,求出其最大值(ESFQRmax)。
圖3及表1中,顯示其測量結果。結果,明白內周徑越大,ESFQRmax越大,可以邊緣下降。Prepare transport plates (inner diameters of 301 mm, 302 mm, 303 mm, 304 mm, and 305 mm) with different inner diameters of the support holes of the workpiece. For a wafer with a diameter of 300 mm, use the double-side polishing device shown in FIG. 1 to perform double-side polishing.
After performing double-sided polishing, the
[表1]
如圖3、表1所示,明白工件的支撐孔內周徑與晶圓的邊緣下降量有相關關係,具體地,有隨著輸送板的工件支撐孔的內周徑變大邊緣下降量變大的關係。 因此,透過取得此關係,根據預期的邊緣下降量以及取得的上述關係,可以決定工件的支撐孔內周徑。As shown in Figure 3 and Table 1, it is understood that the inner circumference of the support hole of the workpiece is related to the amount of edge drop of the wafer. Specifically, as the inner diameter of the workpiece support hole of the conveying plate increases, the amount of edge drop becomes larger. Relationship. Therefore, by obtaining this relationship, the inner circumference of the support hole of the workpiece can be determined based on the expected edge drop amount and the obtained relationship.
其次,使用Chapman公司的MPS測量兩面研磨後的晶圓端面的粗糙度Ra。 圖4及表2中,顯示其測量結果。Secondly, the MPS of Chapman was used to measure the roughness Ra of the wafer end surface after both sides were polished. Figure 4 and Table 2 show the measurement results.
[表2]
如圖4及表2所示,明白透過使用工件的支撐孔內周徑大的輸送板,表面粗糙度Ra變小,表面品質提高。As shown in Fig. 4 and Table 2, it is understood that by using a conveying plate with a large inner circumference of the support hole of the workpiece, the surface roughness Ra is reduced and the surface quality is improved.
