Description

研磨墊修整裝置Grinding pad dressing device

本發明係關於一種修整裝置,特別係一種研磨墊修整裝置;然本發明並不以此為限。The present invention relates to a dressing device, and in particular to a polishing pad dressing device; however, the present invention is not limited thereto.

半導體晶圓於研磨或拋光的過程中,為了使晶圓表面平坦,一般使用化學機械研磨(Chemical Mechanical Polishing,CMP)的方法對晶圓進行加工,然而,化學機械研磨製程中會產生研磨碎屑,所使用之研磨漿料也會堆積在研磨墊的孔洞中,長久下來不僅會使研磨墊產生耗損,也會使研磨效果降低。因此,須利用研磨墊修整器對研磨墊進行修整,以延長研磨墊之壽命。In the process of grinding or polishing semiconductor wafers, in order to make the wafer surface flat, the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) method is generally used to process the wafer. However, grinding debris will be generated during the chemical mechanical polishing process, and the abrasive slurry used will also accumulate in the holes of the polishing pad. Over time, it will not only cause the polishing pad to wear out, but also reduce the polishing effect. Therefore, a polishing pad dresser must be used to dress the polishing pad to extend the life of the polishing pad.

先前技術如美國發明專利公告第US7815495B2號,其揭示一種CMP拋光墊修整器,該拋光墊修整器包含一具有第一硬度的塑膠磨料及一小於第一硬度的第二硬度之刷子,其中,該塑膠磨料包含一基板及形成在基板表面上的多個塑膠結節,每一塑膠結節具有一平坦表面,該平坦表面用於接觸拋光墊;該刷子與該塑膠磨料相鄰設置,其具有多個接觸研磨墊之刷子元件。前案利用具有兩種硬度的設計,將該塑膠磨料用於維持拋光墊的移除率,而該刷子用於清除拋光墊凹槽中累積的漿料副產物,可避免拋光墊受到破壞,特別是軟的拋光墊,且亦能清除鑽石研磨顆粒所無法清除之拋光墊凹槽中累積的漿料副產物。Prior art, such as U.S. Patent Publication No. US7815495B2, discloses a CMP polishing pad conditioner, which includes a plastic abrasive having a first hardness and a brush having a second hardness less than the first hardness, wherein the plastic abrasive includes a substrate and a plurality of plastic nodules formed on the surface of the substrate, each plastic nodule having a flat surface for contacting the polishing pad; the brush is disposed adjacent to the plastic abrasive and has a plurality of brush elements for contacting the polishing pad. The previous proposal utilizes a design with two hardnesses, wherein the plastic abrasive is used to maintain the removal rate of the polishing pad, and the brush is used to remove the slurry byproducts accumulated in the grooves of the polishing pad, thereby preventing the polishing pad from being damaged, especially the soft polishing pad, and also removing the slurry byproducts accumulated in the grooves of the polishing pad that cannot be removed by diamond abrasive particles.

台灣發明專利公告第TW202212058A號則揭示一種拋光墊修整器,該拋光墊修整器包括驅動裝置、安裝基板、鑽石修整頭、毛刷、彈性連接件及控制器,該案將毛刷設置在彈性連接件之表面,並將驅動裝置與控制器及安裝基板連接,利用控制器向安裝基板施加壓力,以使彈性連接件造成伸縮,進而改變毛刷相對於該鑽石修整頭的高度,以達到不同的修整目的。Taiwan Invention Patent Publication No. TW202212058A discloses a polishing pad dresser, which includes a driving device, a mounting substrate, a diamond dressing head, a brush, an elastic connector and a controller. In this case, the brush is set on the surface of the elastic connector, and the driving device is connected to the controller and the mounting substrate. The controller is used to apply pressure to the mounting substrate to cause the elastic connector to expand and contract, thereby changing the height of the brush relative to the diamond dressing head to achieve different dressing purposes.

雖然在先前技術中已經有如上前案揭示用以清潔拋光墊之修整器,然而,該些前案僅在縱向對拋光墊表面進行刷拭清潔,但在拋光墊的孔洞或溝槽中仍極容易殘留拋光墊碎屑。另,上開美國發明專利公告第US7815495B2號雖揭示了可利用兩種硬度的磨料與刷子交錯使用,以達到清潔拋光墊凹槽的效果而不傷害拋光墊,但其仍需利用兩種不同清潔工具交替使用始能達到所期望之效果。Although there are dressers for cleaning polishing pads in the prior art, such as those disclosed in the previous patents, these previous patents only brush the surface of the polishing pad in the longitudinal direction, and polishing pad debris is still very likely to remain in the holes or grooves of the polishing pad. In addition, although the above-mentioned U.S. Patent Publication No. US7815495B2 discloses that two kinds of hardness abrasives and brushes can be used alternately to achieve the effect of cleaning the grooves of the polishing pad without damaging the polishing pad, it still requires the use of two different cleaning tools to be used alternately to achieve the desired effect.

有鑑於此,本發明透過調整刷毛的設置角度、刷毛的排列密度、清潔單元的排列方式以及刷毛高度的變化,而使研磨墊修整裝置能夠清理不同硬度之拋光墊進行清理,且能有效清除拋光墊溝槽死角處的殘留物,進而具有更優異的清潔能力。In view of this, the present invention enables the polishing pad dressing device to clean polishing pads of different hardness by adjusting the setting angle of the bristles, the arrangement density of the bristles, the arrangement of the cleaning units and the change of the bristle height, and can effectively remove the residues in the dead corners of the polishing pad groove, thereby having a better cleaning ability.
