Definitions

  • This invention relates to a scribing head for forming a scribe line on a brittle substrate such as plate glass, semiconductor wafer, ceramic, etc., and also relates to a scribing apparatus and a scribing method using the scribing head.
  • FIG. 16 shows a structure of a conventional scribing head 50
  • FIG. 17 is a side view thereof.
  • a tip holder 52 permits rotation of a cutter wheel tip 51 .
  • This tip holder 52 can swing freely via a vertical shaft bearing 55 which is accommodated in a holder carrier 54 . Accordingly, when the scribing bead 50 moves (to the right in FIG. 16 ), the tip holder 52 swings to align with the direction of this movement.
  • a scribing unit 56 is disposed above the holder carrier 54 , with a small gap G.
  • a bearing 57 is embedded at a predetermined position, orthogonally to the drawing sheet.
  • a center shaft 57 a of the bearing 57 is integrated with the scribing unit 56 .
  • the bottom end of the holder carrier 54 is checked by a stopper 53 . Accordingly, the holder carrier 54 pivots about the bearing 57 , within a range permitted by the gap G.
  • the scribing unit 56 contains an air cylinder chamber 58 which extends vertically and in which a piston 59 is inserted.
  • the bottom end of the piston 59 has a recess for keeping a bearing 60 in a loose-fit manner. Its center shaft 60 a is held by the piston 59 . Accordingly, the peripheral body of the bearing 60 rotates freely, with its bottom end touching the top part of the holder carrier 54 .
  • the piston 59 and the bearing 60 are pressed down to apply a predetermined scribe pressure (scribe load) to the cutter wheel tip 51 . Even when the holder carrier 54 is tilted, the bearing 60 transmits the pressure from the piston 59 straight down to the holder carrier 54 without fail.
  • the scribing head 50 is disposed movably along a horizontal guide rail 67 of the scribing apparatus 66 .
  • the scribing head 50 can also move upwardly and downwardly when driven by an up-down cylinder or motor 65 . Descent of the scribing head 50 causes the cutter wheel tip 51 to abut on a glass plate W. After that, the holder carrier 54 pivots about the bearing 57 , creating a clearance between the holder carrier 54 and the stopper 53 . On detection of this clearance, descent of the scribing head 50 slops. Then, the scribing head 50 descends again by a predetermined cut-in depth. Thereafter, a predetermined scribe pressure is set to the air cylinder chamber 58 .
  • FIG. 18 shows a plate glass scribing apparatus 20 which is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. H8-225333.
  • This apparatus has a detection unit 24 which employs a piezoelectric device for detecting up-down movement of a glass cutter 38 and a desired scribe pressure.
  • a detection signal from the piezoelectric device is processed through an amplification unit 39 and a process unit 26 , and a control unit 28 controls a linear motor 22 .
  • the scribing head 50 of FIG. 16 requires complex mechanisms such as a motor for lowering the cutter wheel tip 51 to a certain level, and an electric-pneumatic converter for setting a desired scribe pressure.
  • the apparatus of FIG. 18 needs the detection unit 24 and a circuit for processing a detection signal from this unit, thus complicating the scribing head mechanism.
  • the apparatus shows poor responsivity and has difficulty in stabilizing the scribing quality.
  • a base material of a large glass plate is scribed and broken into square glass pieces in the following manner.
  • a cutter wheel tip is made to run in one direction on a surface of the base material.
  • this operation is repeated for predetermined times, with the start position displaced after each run.
  • the running direction of the cutter wheel tip is changed so as to cross the previous running direction.
  • the base material is transferred to a breaking machine.
  • the breaking machine imposes a certain pressure on the base material and applies a bending moment along the scribe lines formed on the base material. Eventually, the base material is broken along the scribe lines to give intended square glass chips.
  • this scribing operation can be performed, for example, with an apparatus illustrated in FIG. 19 .
  • the lateral directions in this drawing are taken as X directions and the directions orthogonal to the drawing sheet are taken as Y directions.
  • This scribing apparatus comprises: a worktable 70 which can rotate horizontally and on which a glass plate GL is laid and fixed by a vacuum suction means; a pair of guide rails 71 , 71 which support the worktable 70 movably in Y directions; a ball screw 72 which displaces the worktable 70 along the guide rails 71 , 71 ; a guide bar 73 which is constructed above the worktable 70 along X directions; a scribing head 76 which is attached to the guide bar 73 and slidable in X directions; a motor 74 for sliding the scribing head 76 ; a lip holder 77 which is swingably attached at the bottom of the scribing head 76 and which is movable upwardly and downwardly; a cutter wheel tip 78 which is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the tip holder 77 ; and a pair of CCD cameras 75 which locate above the guide bar 73 in order to recognize alignment marks on the glass plate GL laid on
  • the tip holder 77 is mounted to the scribing head body 76 A via a turning shaft 79 which extends orthogonally to the surface of the glass plate GL, such that the tip holder 77 can swing freely around the axis of the turning shaft 79 .
  • the cutter wheel tip 78 is attached to the tip bolder 77 at the position Q 2 which is offset from the axis Q 1 of the turning shaft 79 toward the opposite direction to the running direction (direction of Arrow S in the drawing).
  • the cutter wheel tip 78 follows the scribing head body 76 A.
  • the cutter wheel tip 78 gains stability in straight movement, which serves to prevent distortion of a scribe line.
  • This scribing apparatus operates without problem as far as scribe lines are formed on a glass plate only in one direction.
  • a cross-scribing operation tends to fail near the points where the cutter wheel tip 78 crosses and passes the former scribe lines L 1 -L 3 , because the apparatus does not make the latter scribe lines L 4 -L 6 at those points, or it “skips” the intersections. If intersections are skipped on a scribed glass plate, the glass plate is not broken precisely along the scribe lines in the breaking operation using the above-mentioned breaking machine. Eventually, the scribing apparatus yields a volume of defective products and shows an extremely poor productivity.
  • the scribing head comprises: a scribing head body which runs on a brittle substrate; a tip holder mounted on the scribing head body via a turning shaft which extends orthogonally to a surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the turning shaft; a cutter wheel tip attached to the tip holder at a position which is offset from the axis of the turning shaft toward the opposite direction to the running direction.
  • This scribing head is used to provide scribe lines which cross each other on the surface of the brittle substrate. During the scribing operation, the swing range of the tip holder is controlled at greater than 0° but not greater than 2°.
  • FIG. 22 shows a front view of an embodiment of this scribing head, and FIG. 23 is its bottom view.
  • the scribing head has a scribing head body 80 , a bearing housing 81 , a tip holder 82 , a cutter wheel tip 83 , and a bias means 84 .
  • the bottom of the scribing head body 80 is cut away to form a notch 85 which accommodates the bearing housing 81 .
  • An end of the bearing housing 81 is joined, via a bearing 87 , with a horizontal support shaft 86 which is inserted in the scribing head body 80 .
  • the other end abuts on a stopper shaft 88 which is contained within the scribing head body 80 and which extends parallel to the support shaft 86 .
  • the bearing housing 81 pivots around the axis of the support shaft 86 until it is stopped by the stopper shaft 88 .
  • the tip holder 82 is mounted to the bearing housing 81 via a turning shaft 89 which extends orthogonally to the surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the turning shaft 89 .
  • a bearing 40 is set between the turning shaft 89 and the bearing housing 81 .
  • the bias means 84 which locates above the turning shaft 89 is arranged to apply a biasing force to the cutter wheel tip 83 , through the turning shaft 89 and the tip holder 82 .
  • the cutter wheel tip 83 attached to the tip holder 82 , is offset from the axis of the turning shaft 89 toward the opposite direction to the running direction S of the scribing head (offset to the left in FIG. 22 ).
  • the swing range A of the tip holder 82 is controlled at greater than 0° but not greater than 2°, by means of a groove 41 which is formed in the bottom surface of the bearing housing 81 .
  • the tip holder 82 has its upper end accommodated in the groove 41 of the bearing housing 81 .
  • the swing range A of the tip holder 82 can be adjusted in the defined range, by adjustment of clearances between the interior surfaces 46 , 47 of the groove 41 and the side faces 48 , 49 at the upper end of the tip holder 82 . It is readily understood that the clearances are set greater in order to expand the swing range A, whereas the clearances are set smaller for a narrower swing range.
  • the cutter wheel tip In this scribing head, the cutter wheel tip, attached to the tip holder, is offset from the axis of the turning shaft toward the opposite direction to the running direction.
  • the scribing head runs with the support shaft side ahead.
  • the cutter wheel tip is caused to jump up when the scribing head crosses existing scribe lines, or passes an undulated or warped part of a glass or an uneven part on a glass surface.
  • the tip holder tends to pivot about the support shaft and to bounce over the glass surface.
  • the schematic view of FIG. 13 illustratively explains this phenomenon, wherein the sign GL designates glass, 83 indicates the cutter wheel tip, and 86 indicates the support shaft.
  • a reaction force R is generated toward the center of the cutter wheel tip 83 , against a resultant force of a horizontal scribing force component M and a vertical scribing force component N, wherein the scribing force components M and N represent a horizontal component and a vertical component, respectively, of a scribing force which is required to scribe the glass GL by the cutter wheel tip 83 .
  • the reaction force R acts on the cutter wheel tip 83 , as a turning moment around the support shaft 86 . Consequently, the cutter wheel tip 83 is caused to jump up.
  • the tip holder (not shown) tends to pivot about the support shaft 86 and to bounce over the glass surface GL.
  • the depth of the leading end of the vertical crack (hereinafter mentioned as “vertical crack propagation depth”) is controllable only by the load on the blade edge.
  • vertical crack propagation depth the depth of the leading end of the vertical crack.
  • the blade edge of the cutter wheel tip cuts deeper into the glass surface and gives a greater energy to generate a vertical crack, so that the vertical crack propagation depth becomes longer.
  • the blade edge load exceeds a certain level, a comparatively deep vertical crack is obtained, but at the same time, internal distortion which has accumulated near the glass surface reaches saturation.
  • Such an excessive blade edge load results in growth of a so-called horizontal crack in a direction totally different from the growing direction of the vertical crack.
  • the horizontal crack causes generation of a large amount of undesirable chips.
  • the inventors investigated the above-mentioned mechanism in more detail and discovered a relationship between the blade edge load and the vertical crack propagation depth, as given in FIG. 14 .
  • the vertical crack propagation depth is related with three stages: an initial stage (Stage A) where the depth gently increases with increment of the blade edge load; an intermediate stage (Stage B) where the depth sharply increases with increment of the blade edge load; and a final stage (Stage C) where the depth hardly increases despite increment of the blade edge load. While a horizontal crack is not observed in Stage A and Stage B, Stage C showed drastic increase of horizontal cracks.
  • a deep vertical crack is obtainable without generation of a horizontal crack, when a scribing operation is performed with a blade edge load in Stage B, where the propagation depth increases sharply with increment of the blade edge load.
  • the cross-scribing operation involves a task of preventing skipping of intersections.
  • the blade edge load for formation of second scribe lines should be much greater than the load for formation of first scribe lines.
  • the blade edge load often falls into Stage C, inevitably causing increase of horizontal cracks and associated generation of a large volume of chips.
  • a scribing operation using a conventional cutter wheel is also affected by some external factors such as an undulated or warped glass, an uneven glass surface, and wearing of the tip holder which holds the cutter wheel tip or of the scribing head which carries the tip holder. In this case, formation of stable scribe lines is often hampered.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a scribing head, and a scribing apparatus and a scribing method using this scribing head, in which the scribing head has a simple mechanism and is suitably adaptable to various scribe conditions.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a scribing head, and a scribing apparatus and a scribing method using this scribing head, in which the scribing head prevents not only skipping of intersections during a cross-scribing operation but also a bounce of the tip holder.
  • a scribing head of the invention is equipped with a scribing cutter for forming a scribe line on a brittle substrate, the scribing cutter being raised and lowered by rotation of a servomotor, and as a scribe pressure, a rotational torque of the servomotor is transmitted to the scribing cutter.
  • a servomotor simplifies the scribing head mechanism and realizes a scribing head and a scribing apparatus which are available at a lower price. Besides, the zero position can be detected on software, without relying on a conventional contact mechanism. Further, owing to good responsivity of the scribe pressure generation mechanism, various scribe conditions can be flexibly adopted.
  • rotational movement of the servomotor may be converted to vertical movement through a gear, and the rotational torque may be applied as a scribe pressure.
  • the scribe pressure may be raised temporarily when the scribing head passes the scribe line which is formed earlier.
  • the rotational torque of the servomotor is controlled at any of preset limits while the position of the cutter of the scribing head shifts on the brittle substrate.
  • the servomotor is driven under position-control mode. If this is the case, it is preferable that the servomotor sets a position of the scribing head so as to locate below a top surface of the brittle substrate, and substantially at the same time as the start of a scribing action, the thus set position is lowered further.
  • This arrangement can prevent the cutter wheel tip from jumping up when it crosses a raised scribe trace formed in a previous scribing action. This is an effective measure against “skipping of intersections”.
  • Another scribing head of the invention comprises: a scribing head body which runs on a brittle substrate; a tip holder mounted on the scribing head body via a support shaft which extends parallel to a surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the support shaft; and a cutter wheel tip attached to the tip holder via a rotation shaft which extends parallel to the surface of the brittle substrate, the cutter wheel tip being freely rotatable around the axis of the rotation shaft.
  • This second scribing head may incorporate the arrangements for the scribing head mentioned earlier.
  • the tip holder is mounted via a turning shaft which extends orthogonally to the surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the turning shaft.
  • the rotation shaft may be offset from the axis of the turning shaft toward the support shaft.
  • the axis of the support shaft may locate on or above a vector line of a reaction force which derives from the brittle substrate and which is exerted on the cutter wheel tip during the scribing action.
  • a scribing apparatus of the invention is for scribing a brittle substrate by moving a scribing head which is equipped with a scribing cutter for forming a scribe line on a brittle substrate.
  • This scribing apparatus is equipped with any of the scribe heads mentioned above.
  • a method of the present invention for scribing a brittle substrate uses a scribing head which comprises: a scribing head body which runs on a brittle substrate; a tip holder mounted on the scribing head body via a support shaft which extends parallel to a surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the support shaft; and a cutter wheel tip attached to the tip holder via a rotation shaft which extends parallel to the surface of the brittle substrate, the cutter wheel tip being freely rotatable around the axis of the rotation shaft.
  • the scribing head forms a scribe line on the surface of the brittle substrate by running on the brittle substrate, with the support shaft being behind the cutter wheel tip.
  • the tip holder is mounted via a turning shaft which extends orthogonally to the surface of the brittle substrate, the tip holder being freely swingable around the axis of the turning shaft.
  • the rotation shaft may be offset from the axis of the turning shaft toward the support shaft.
  • the scribing method of the invention may be performed while maintaining a state where a reaction force which derives from the brittle substrate and which is exerted on the cutter wheel tip during the scribing action, is oriented along a line which connects the origin of the reaction force and the axis of the support shaft, or oriented nearer to the brittle substrate relative to the line.
  • the scribing head of claims 7 - 11 and the scribing method of claims 12 - 15 acquire a following effect. While the scribing head runs (in the direction of Arrow T in FIG. 13 ) with the support shaft 99 behind and with the cutter wheel tip 95 being pressed against a surface of the glass GL by the bias means 96 , the point of contact between a blade ridge 95 A of the cutter wheel tip 95 and the surface of the glass GL is given as the point E in FIG. 13 .
  • a reaction force X is generated against a resultant force of a horizontal scribing force component V and a vertical scribing force component W, wherein the scribing force components V and W represent a horizontal component and a vertical component, respectively, of a scribing force which is required to scribe the glass GL by the utter wheel tip 95 .
  • the reaction force X which is directed to the support shaft 99 , does not act as a turning moment which causes the cutter wheel tip 95 to jump up from the glass GL. In this situation, the tip holder does not bounce in the manner mentioned above, and the pressure to the cutter wheel tip 95 is not cancelled by the reaction force X. As a consequence, the pressure applied to the cutter wheel tip 95 acts efficiently on the glass (brittle substrate), realizing a vertical crack which is much deeper than the one obtained conventionally.
  • the tip holder may be mounted via a turning shaft which extends orthogonally to the surface of the brittle substrate, and may be freely swingable around the axis of the turning shaft. This arrangement can enhance the follow-up ability of the tip holder in the scribe head running direction.
  • rotation shaft may be offset from the axis of the turning shaft toward the support shaft. This arrangement can also enhance the follow-up ability of the tip holder in the scribe head running direction.
  • the scribing method and the scribing head as above are preferred to maintain a state where a reaction force which derives from the brittle substrate and which is exerted on the cutter wheel tip during the scribing action, is oriented along a line which connects the origin of the reaction force and the axis of the support shaft, or oriented nearer to the brittle substrate relative to the line.
  • This arrangement can eliminate, with a greater reliability, generation of a turning moment which causes the tip holder to bounce as explained earlier.
