Most of today's chemical mechanical polishing machines use a polishing head to hold a wafer for polishing. Each polishing head has a positioning ring surrounding the periphery of the wafer to limit the wafer to avoid the The wafer slides out of the polishing head during grinding to cause damage. ® The chemical mechanical grinding positioning rings produced by various manufacturers are not identical, resulting in a variety of variations and shapes. At this time, if the structure of the positioning ring is complicated, it is easy to accumulate dust or easily collide, and the life of the positioning ring is reduced. [New content] This creation provides a wafer grinding positioning ring. By adding a rubber ring design, it extends a flange similar to the side wall of the grinding ring, so it can block the dirt caused by the splash of the slurry and prevent the air to some extent. The dust in it falls. In addition, the rubber ring can also be regarded as a cushioning material, which can further prevent the abrasion of the grinding ring. 3 M368516 is widely used as a wafer grinding positioning ring of an embodiment, which comprises a grinding material and a rubber ¥. The grinding ring includes a plurality of grooves arranged at equal angular intervals along the radial direction of the grinding ring. The glue card is attached to the side wall of the grinding ring and protrudes from the side wall of the grinding ring. In an embodiment, the rubber ring includes a horizontal extension extending from the side wall of the grinding ring, and is connected to the (four) flat (four) U-fold and a stop end connected to the bent portion.
