Definitions
- ABSTRACT A grinding machine for producing a rounded chamfer on the edge of a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer.
- the workpiece is attached to a revolving chuck and a grinding head having oblique resilient grinding members is located opposite the chuck.
- the grinding members lie along generators of a cone and extend beyond the edges of the workpiece and press against the edge.
- Semiconductor wafers are ground in this machine by pressing their edges against the resilient grinding devices while rotating the wafer and moving the grinding devices in a lateral circular path concentric with the axis of rotation of the wafer.
- a further object is to provide an improved machine capable of grinding specific contours on the edge portions of semiconductor wafers having perimeters which are primarily round but have straight portions at one specific location.
- semiconductor wafers which are to be ground, or chamfered, along the edge are mounted on rotatable chucks beneath grinding heads which comprise separately rotatable devices so arranged they they follow eccentric curves with respect to the axis of the heads on which the wafers themselves are mounted.
- the grinding devices which extend downwardly from the heads, are short rods or strips bent or formed at appropriate angles to achieve the desired ground contour of the edge of the wafers. Using these grinding strips in a machine with the combined relative eccentric and rotary motions of the grinding heads and the chucks produces uniformly contoured and lapped edges of semiconductor wafers of different sizes without having to change to grinding strips of different configuration.
- the contour of the edges of the semiconductors can further be controlled by raising or lowering the grinding heads.

- FIG. 4 shows one example of a conventional technique for beveling the wafer l.
- the wafer is fixed on a support 4 and is ground, or lapped, by a cylindrical grindstone 5 rotating on its own axis.
- the grindstone 5 is rotated around the periphery of the wafer 1 so that the axis of the grindstone generates a generally conical surface of revolution, or the wafer l is rotated about a vertical axis while the grindstone is rotated in a single location.
- the flat edge la and the round edge la cannot be lapped to have the same profile because the axis of the grindstond tilts more nearly perpendicular when it reaches the flat portion la.
- the grindstone causes rather deep mechanical distortion in the wafer, and as a result crystal defects occur in the epitaxial-grown layer 2 due to such distortion.
- Both the round edge portion 1a and the flat edge la should have the same specific cross-sectional profile.
- the angle 0 and the width w of the beveled portion lb have specific values with respect to the thickness t of the wafer l.
- the surface of the beveled portion 1b is rounded with a curvature R. For example, if t 250 ⁇ L-300 ⁇ L, it is preferable that w 0.5mm. and 6 -l5. These data have been selected on the basis of extensive experiments by the present inventors.
- FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 show one embodiment of a grinding machine incorporating the present invention.

- FIG. 13 shows an enlarged view of the holder 13 with the sliding rod 14 extending below it.
- a head 57 is screwed into the lower end of the rod 14 and a hollow central tube 58 is inserted into a hole at the center of the head 56.
- This tube is held in place by frictional engagement with the head and is joined by means of a connector 71 to a line 72 through which grinding fluid is supplied to the workpiece during the grinding operation.
- the grinding elements themselves are bent strips 60 of a suitable material, such as stainless steel. Eight of these strips are attached to the lower side of the head 57 and are equally spaced around the head. Each of the strips comprises an upper or shank portion 61 that extends generally parallel to the axis of the holder 13 and a lower end portion 62 bent with respect to the upper end so that the included angle between the upper and lower ends is greater than 90.
- the strips 60 which are wider than they are thick, are bent so that the direction in which the thickness of the upper or shank portion and lower end portion is measured is in a common plane.

- a resilience control device 65 may be used. This comprises a ring 66 having a set screw in it at the proper location to engage each of the upper or shank portions 61 of the strips 60 and an annular inner portion 68 that surrounds the central tube 58.
- the resilience control device can be moved up or down on the upper or shank portions 61 to any desired extent to control the bending freedom of the strips 60.
- Each of the lower end portions 62 lies along a direction that would constitute a generator of a cone.
- the included angle 9 is only a little less than 180 but is enough to allow the grinding material 62' to be brought down into contact with the outer edge of the semiconductor wafer to be ground on this machine.
- the included angle 6 is chosen to make the ground semiconductor wafer achieve the rounded profile shown in FIG. 5. This angle is also dependent on the material of which the strips 60 are made and is experimentally determined. Even if the angle 0 is selected to have the most ideal value, there is inevitably some amount of variation in the ground profiles. In order to reduce such variation the resilience adjusting device 65 is provided.

This shelf allows each of the wafers to drop down below the top of the magazine 73, but more importantly, it permits the larger part of the perimeter of the hole above the shelf to serve as guide means to locate the wafer precisely so that when it is placed on the head 17 it will be in exactly the correct coaxial position with respect to the head.
- the magazine 73 is raised and lowered by the elevators 19, each of which has an L-shaped support 19a to lift the magazine loaded with its wafers.
- hydraulic pressure is applied to a pair of support rods 1%.
- the magazine 73 with the proper number of wafers loaded on it, in this case eight wafers, is placed on the support 19a at the location shown by the broken line in FIG. 6.
- each of the rods 14 In order to place the magazine at that location, each of the rods 14 must be raised by its respective cylinder 12 and the elevators 19 must be in their upper position. After the magazine has been loaded on the elevators, the latter are lowered enough to bring the magazine below the heads 17 of the vacuum chucks 16.
- the grinding machine described hereinabove can be automatically operated. When the predetermined grinding period is over the elevators 19 are not only lifted to support the wafers 1 again but the grinding devices 15 are also lifted automatically and the swinging plate is brought to a stop. Successive operations of the machine may be automatically controlled according to a programmed cycle which takes approximately 30 seconds to complete.
