Judgment can be made. For this reason, it is possible to determine whether or not the target thickness has been reached without interrupting the polishing, and as a result, the time required for polishing can be shortened.

- the polishing slurry is switched to a polishing slurry having a different polishing rate at a certain timing. For example, in the initial stage of polishing, polishing is performed roughly at high speed with a polishing slurry having a high polishing rate (high polishing rate condition). Then, for example, switching is performed when the thickness of the wafer reaches the target thickness ⁇ . In this switching, the polishing slurry is switched to a polishing slurry having a low polishing rate during polishing, and polishing is performed accurately at low speed (low polishing rate condition). With such a polishing method, the time required for polishing the wafer can be reduced in total.

Abstract
Description
このような両面研磨装置としては、通常、中心部のサンギヤと外周部のインターナルギヤの間にウェーハを保持するキャリアが配置された遊星歯車構造を有するいわゆる4ウェイ方式の両面研磨装置が用いられている。
これは、ウェーハの研磨速度と平坦性にはトレードオフの関係があるためである。そしてこの問題に対応するためには、仕上げの段階で、可能な限り研磨速度を下げ、準静的に加工する必要がある。
そこで、研磨中のウェーハの厚さを測定しながら研磨を行う両面研磨装置が開示されている。
また、例えば特許文献3の発明によれば、ウェーハを透過する波長の光を用い、半導体ウェーハの表面から裏面に向かって厚さ方向に沿って測定光束を移動させて焦点を形成しながら厚さを測定することができる。
また、測定精度を上げるためには、研磨中に測定光が研磨面の指定領域からの測定光を取り込む頻度を増やさなければならなかった。しかし特許文献3のような共焦点方式では、応答性が劣り、取り込み頻度が少ないという欠点があった。
更に、研磨条件の変更のタイミングが、研磨布、キャリア等の加工治具、材料の劣化に係わらずいつも一定にしているため、研磨布の劣化とともに研磨時間が延びて生産性が悪化するといった問題や、研磨取り代の過不足等の問題が発生していた。
また、研磨前後や研磨中の厚さを抜き取りで計測して調整すれば、研磨取り代の過不足の問題が発生することは抑制しやすくなるが、研磨を途中で中断することになり、生産性が著しく悪化するため、現実的ではなかった。
このように、ウェーハの厚さを測定することによって、仕上がりの厚さを目標厚さにすることができるが、研磨速度が速い場合と遅い場合で研磨時間が大きく異なってしまう。そのため、研磨工程に要する時間が安定せず、ウェーハ品質も不安定となって、ボトルネックとなっていた。
例えば、特許文献4に記載の発明ではウェーハの非研磨面側に窓を設け、測定光にはウェーハを透過する波長の光が使用されている。また、特許文献5に記載の発明では膜付のウェーハの研磨面側に接する下定盤の上側面の研磨布と一体化した、窓材或いはプラグを用いたものをウェーハ厚さの測定窓として使用している。
更に、特許文献5に記載の発明に見られるように、被研磨物の研磨面側、即ち定盤の上側に窓が位置し、光路系が鉛直下側にあるため、窓材の機密性を高めるために強固なシール材プラグを用いる必要があった。そのため、交換が容易でなく、メンテナンスに時間が掛かり、効率が低下していた。
また、例えば最初に研磨速度の速い研磨スラリーでウェーハの研磨を行い、研磨途中で研磨速度の遅い研磨スラリーに切り替えることによって、まず粗いが高速な条件で研磨を行い、その後に低速だが精度の高い研磨を行うことができる。このため、ウェーハの研磨に掛かる時間を短縮することができ、またウェーハの平坦性・平滑性を損なうことなく生産性が高いものとすることができる。
これらによって、高生産性で歩留り良くウェーハを研磨することができ、高平坦性・高平滑性のウェーハを製造することができる。
上定盤に設けた複数の孔から、研磨中のウェーハの厚さを測定することによって、孔から研磨スラリーの漏れが発生することはなく、孔の中に研磨スラリーが進入することがないため、漏れ対策を行わなくても良い。これによって、定盤のメンテナンスが容易になり、またウェーハの厚さの測定に支障が生じる可能性を抑制することができる。
本発明のウェーハの研磨方法は、高い生産性で平坦なウェーハとすることができるものであるため、バッチ式で研磨することによって、生産性をより高めることができる。また、本発明では複数の孔からウェーハ厚さを測定しながら研磨するので、バッチ式のように、同時に複数のウェーハを研磨する場合であっても、全てのウェーハの厚さを測定することができ、精度良く測定できる。
このように、波長可変赤外線レーザーを用いて、ウェーハ表面での反射スペクトル(ウェーハ表面と裏面で反射する光の干渉の様子)を評価することによって、研磨中のウェーハ厚さを高精度で測定することができる。
このように、研磨スラリーの切り替えとして、研磨布の寿命や、研磨開始からの経過時間、研磨速度、研磨取り代によって決定することによって、研磨布、キャリア等の加工治具、材料等の劣化状態によって変化するウェーハの研磨状態に対して臨機応変に対応することができる。従って、目標のウェーハ形状、取り分け外周ダレの改善やフラットネスの安定化、狙い通りの研磨取代量をより容易に達成することができる。
このように、ウェーハの研磨途中で研磨速度の異なるスラリーに切り替えるのみならず、研磨加重、上定盤の回転速度、下定盤の回転速度のうち少なくとも1つ以上を変更することで、ウェーハの研磨中に、研磨に用いる機構の劣化などによる研磨条件の変化によりきめ細かに適切に対応することができる。よって、研磨終了後の表面の平坦度が非常に高いウェーハを安定して得ることができる。
また、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構を、研磨中の振動の影響を受けやすい上定盤または下定盤以外の箇所に固定することによって、振動等の影響を受けずにウェーハの厚さを測定することができ、厚さの測定精度を向上させることができる。
これらの効果によって、研磨中のウェーハの厚さをリアルタイムで精度よく知ることができるため、研磨後のウェーハの厚さを目標の厚さに容易にすることができる両面研磨装置とすることができる。
このよう構造であれば、窓材と研磨布を分離し、別々に接着することができる。そのため、窓材が棄損した場合、窓材のみを剥離し交換することで、寿命をむかえていない研磨布を無駄に廃棄する必要をなくすことができる。また消耗の激しい窓材のみを交換することができるため、廃棄物の処分のための費用を低減することができ、ランニングコストの低減を達成することができる。
また、窓材と研磨布が独立しているため、メンテナンスが容易である。更に窓材のみ交換可能であるため、窓材の寿命によって研磨中のウェーハの厚さの測定に支障をきたし始めたら、研磨布はそのままで窓材のみ交換することができる。このため、無駄を減少させ、かつ高い精度で厚さを測定しながらウェーハを研磨することのできる両面研磨機とすることができる。本発明では、複数の孔を有しているため、従って複数の窓材が必要であり、これによって厚さ測定が正確に行われるものであるため、上記のように、窓材と研磨布が分離していることによって、個々にライフが設定される必要性が高い。
このように、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として、ウェーハに対して光学的に透過する波長の波長可変赤外線レーザー装置を用いることによって、ウェーハ表面での反射スペクトル(ウェーハ表面と裏面で反射する光の干渉の様子)を解析することができ、これによって、研磨中のウェーハの厚さを高精度に測定することができる。
このように、測定のためのレーザー光として、波長が1575~1775nmの通信用などの高速な赤外線レーザーを用いれば、時間分解能をあげることができ、研磨中のウェーハの厚さをより高精度に評価することができる。
このように、レーザー光に対し光学的に透過する窓材であれば、窓材でのレーザー光の吸収や反射を抑制することができるため、測定レーザー光の強度が減衰してしまうことを抑制することができる。これによってウェーハの測定精度を更に高いものとすることができる。
このように、ウェーハのバルク厚さを測定することによって、研磨中のウェーハの実際の厚さを判定することができ、これによって研磨後のウェーハの厚さをより目標に近いものとすることができる。
このように、等間隔に複数の孔を設けることによって、ウェーハの厚さの測定を容易に行うことができるため、高精度な研磨が可能である。そして、周辺に設けることで、研磨に悪影響を及ぼすことなく、例えば4ウェイ方式の両面研磨装置において、保持された全てのウェーハの厚さを研磨中に測定することができる。また、上定盤に設けることによって、孔からの研磨スラリーの漏れが発生することを抑制することができるため、定盤のメンテナンスを容易なものとすることができる。またウェーハの厚さの測定に支障が生じる可能性を抑制することができる。
このように、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構を、両面研磨装置のハウジングに固定することによって、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構を振動、汚れから保護するとともに、前記複数の孔からウェーハ厚さを高精度で検出することができる。これによって、ノイズの影響を低減することができるため、研磨中のウェーハの厚さを更に高精度に測定することができる。
このように、安価で、安定性に優れるプラスチックを窓材として用いることによって、窓材の交換頻度を低減することができ、また交換に掛かる手間やコストを削減することができる。
このように、t1×ζ1×P/100>tw+t2の関係を満たすものであれば、研磨中に、窓材が研磨布からはみ出すことを抑制することができるため、窓材の部分でウェーハの平坦度が悪化することを抑制することができる。
また、twnw>tsns或いはtwnw<tsnsの関係を満たすものであれば、例えば、ウェーハの厚さの測定にレーザー光を用いた場合に、窓材での反射光とウェーハでの反射光のピークが重なって測定しにくくなって、測定精度が低下することを抑制することができる。
これらによって、ウェーハの厚さを高精度に測定しながら、平坦度の高いウェーハとすることがより容易になる。
また、ウェーハの厚さを測定しながら研磨を行うため、研磨布、キャリア等の加工治具、材料等の劣化に応じて研磨剤の切り替えタイミングを変えることができ、比較的短時間で狙い通りの研磨取代量が得られる。このため、生産性が向上し、また厚さバラツキが非常に小さくなり、歩留りを大幅に改善することができる。
図7に示したように、本発明の両面研磨装置10は、ウェーハWを挟持するために、回転駆動する平坦な研磨上面12aを有する下定盤12と、下定盤12に対向して配置され回転駆動する平坦な研磨下面11aを有する上定盤11と、ウェーハWを保持するウェーハ保持孔を有するキャリア13と、研磨中のウェーハWの厚さを測定するためのウェーハ厚さ測定機構16とを備えるものである。
そして、上定盤11側に、研磨中のウェーハ厚さを測定するために複数の孔14と、研磨スラリー供給機構15が設けられている。
また、ウェーハの厚さを測定するための孔を上定盤または下定盤に複数設けることによって、厚さの測定の頻度を多くすることができる。特に、バッチ式で複数のウェーハを同時に研磨する時に好適であり、これによって、測定精度を向上させることができる。
これらの効果によって、研磨中のウェーハの厚さを従来に比べて精度よく知ることができるため、研磨後のウェーハの厚さを目標の厚さと近いものに容易にすることができる両面研磨装置とすることができる。
このように、両面研磨装置のハウジングにウェーハ厚さ測定機構を固定すると、振動、汚れからウェーハ厚さ測定機構を保護することができる。これによれば、研磨中の厚さの測定データにノイズが乗ることやデータが劣化することを抑制することができる。従って、研磨中のウェーハの厚さをより高精度に測定することができる。もちろん、建屋の天井等の固定端に設置しても良いが、メンテナンスや装置の振動等において不利である。
ウェーハ厚さ測定機構で測定するウェーハの厚さをバルク厚さとすれば、研磨中のウェーハの実際の厚さを測定することになり、従って、研磨後のウェーハの厚さをより目標に近いものとすることができる。もちろん、SOIウェーハのSOI層の厚さなどとすることも可能である。
このように、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として、ウェーハに対して光学的に透過する波長の波長可変赤外線レーザー装置を用いると、ウェーハに入射させたレーザー光のうち、ウェーハ表面で反射した表面反射光と、ウェーハ裏面で反射した裏面反射光が干渉する様子を解析することができる。これによれば、数nmから数十μmオーダーの精度で研磨中のウェーハの厚さを評価することができる。
また、波長可変型の赤外線レーザー装置とすることによって、研磨するウェーハの厚さが大きく変化したとしても入射させるレーザー光の波長を変更すれば対応することができ、光源自体を変更する必要がない。このため、コストの低減を図ることができる。
このように、波長が1575~1775nmのレーザー光であれば、測定レーザー光がウェーハや研磨スラリーに一部吸収されることでの反射レーザー光強度の低下を抑制することができ、高精度にウェーハの厚さを測定することができる。
このように、上定盤に等間隔に複数の孔が設けられたものであれば、測定用の複数の孔の各々からの研磨スラリーの漏れが発生することを抑制することができる。このため、定盤のメンテナンスを容易に行うことができる。またウェーハの厚さの測定に支障が生じる可能性を抑制することができる。また、例えば4ウェイ方式の両面研磨装置において、全てのウェーハの厚さを測定するのに都合がよい。
これによれば、ウェーハの研磨中に、測定されたウェーハ厚さから判明する研磨布、キャリア等の加工治具、材料の劣化などによる研磨条件の変化に適切に対応することができる。よって、研磨終了後の表面の平坦度が非常に高いウェーハを安定して得ることができる。
そして、上定盤11の研磨面には複数の孔14に対応する位置に孔14より径の大きい穴の開いた研磨布11b、下定盤12の研磨面には研磨布12bが貼り付けられている。また、複数の孔14の研磨面側には、複数の孔14より径が大きく研磨布11bの穴より径が小さく研磨布11bより厚さが薄い窓材19が接着層20を介して貼り合わされている。また窓材19は、研磨布11bとは分離されて、上定盤11に接着層20を介して固定されている。
また、窓材のみを定盤に貼り付けることができる構造であるため、交換が容易であり、メンテナンスも容易に行うことができる。
更に、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構によって研磨中のウェーハの厚さを測定することで、研磨中のウェーハの厚さが目標に達した時点で研磨を停止することができ、研磨の過不足によるウェーハの面荒れが発生することを防止することができ、平坦なウェーハを得ることができる。
両面テープであれば、容易に窓材を貼り付けることができるし、また安価である。更に、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として光学系を用いた場合、両面テープは薄くむらが小さい為、取り付け角度のバラツキが無視できるほど小さいため、光軸に対する取り付け調整が不要となり、交換が更に容易となる。
このように、複数の孔を上定盤に設けることで、窓材も上定盤に固定することになり、スラリー漏れ等の対策が不要となり、また、飛び散った研磨スラリーを、窓材交換時に水などで容易に洗浄することもでき、メンテナンスが容易となる。
ウェーハ厚さ測定機構で測定するウェーハの厚さをバルク厚さとすれば、研磨中のウェーハの実際の厚さを測定することになり、従って、研磨後のウェーハの厚さをより目標に近いものとすることができる。
このように、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として、ウェーハに対して光学的に透過する波長の波長可変赤外線レーザー装置を用いると、ウェーハに入射させたレーザー光の、ウェーハ表面で反射した表面反射光と、ウェーハ裏面で反射した裏面反射光が干渉する様子を解析することができる。これによれば、数nmから数十μmオーダーの精度で研磨中のウェーハの厚さを測定することができる。
また、波長可変型の赤外線レーザー装置とすることによって、研磨するウェーハの厚さが大きく変化したとしても入射させるレーザー光の波長を変更すれば対応することができ、光源自体を変更する必要がない。このため、コストの低減を図ることができる。
このように、窓材をレーザー光に対し光学的に透過するものとすることによって、窓材でのレーザー光の吸収や反射による測定レーザー光の強度の減衰が起こることを抑制することができる。これによって、ウェーハの厚さを更に高精度に測定することができる。
このように、プラスチック製の窓材であれば、安定性に優れているため、窓材の交換頻度を低減することができる。また安価のため、交換にかかるコストを低減することができる。
このように、t1×ζ1×P/100>tw+t2の関係を満たすことによって、研磨中に、窓材が、厚さ方向で研磨布からはみ出すことを抑制することができるため、窓材の部分でウェーハの平坦度が悪化することを抑制することができる。従って、平坦度のより優れたウェーハとすることができる。
また、twnw>tsns或いはtwnw<tsnsの関係を満たすことによって、例えば、ウェーハの厚さの測定にレーザー光を用いた場合に、窓材での反射光とウェーハでの反射光のピークが重なって検出強度が低下することを抑制することができる。このため、ウェーハ厚さをより高精度に測定することができる。
そして上定盤の研磨下面と、下定盤の研磨上面と、キャリアによってウェーハを挟持して、研磨スラリーを供給しながら、上定盤及び下定盤を水平面内で回転させながら、研磨を開始する。
これによって、研磨を中断せずに研磨中にウェーハの厚さを知ることができ、特に研磨中のウェーハ厚さを随時知ることができるため、ウェーハの目標厚さに達したかどうかを研磨しながら判断することができる。このため、研磨を中断することなく目標厚さに到達したかどうかを判定することができ、結果として研磨に掛かる時間を短くすることができる。
また、研磨時間を固定せずとも、ウェーハを目標厚さにすることができるため、研磨の過不足が発生することはなく、平坦度が悪化することを抑制することができる。すなわち、研磨布その他の劣化などにも対応できる。
例えば、研磨初期には、研磨速度の速い研磨スラリーによって高速で粗く研磨する(高研磨レート条件)。そして、例えばウェーハの厚さが目標厚さγになった時点で切り替えを行う。この切り替えでは、研磨途中で研磨速度の遅い研磨スラリーに切り替えて低速で精度良く研磨する(低研磨レート条件)。
このような研磨方法であれば、トータルでウェーハの研磨に掛かる時間を短縮することができる。また、仕上げの段階で精度の高い研磨スラリーに切り替えて研磨を行っているため、研磨後のウェーハの平坦性を犠牲にすることもない。このため、平坦性・平滑性の高いウェーハを、高い生産性で得ることができる。
上定盤に設けた複数の孔からウェーハの厚さを測定することによって、孔をウェーハの上部に設置することができるため、研磨スラリーの漏れを抑制することができる。これによってスラリー漏れ対策を施す必要がなくなるため、定盤のメンテナンスを簡易化することができるが、下定盤に設けた複数の穴からウェーハの厚さを測定することももちろんできる。
このような、高速に波長掃引する「波長可変レーザー」光のウェーハ表面での反射強度から、反射の波長分散(反射スペクトル-ウェーハ表面と裏面で反射する光の干渉の様子)を再構成して周波数解析する光反射干渉法であれば、高い精度でウェーハの厚さを測定することができる。
ウェーハの研磨速度などの研磨条件は、研磨布、キャリア等の加工治具、材料等の劣化状態によって変化してしまう。
しかし、本発明では、複数の孔によりウェーハ厚さを逐次正確に測定しながら研磨しているので、研磨スラリーの切り替えタイミングの決定に、研磨布の寿命や、研磨開始からの経過時間、研磨速度、研磨取り代を用いることによって、ウェーハの研磨条件の僅かな変化に対して臨機応変に対応することができる。これによれば、研磨後のウェーハ形状を安定して高精度に平坦にすることができ、特に外周ダレを改善することができる。また、容易に狙い通りのウェーハ厚さにすることができる。
このように、ウェーハの研磨途中で研磨速度の異なるスラリーに切り替えるとともに、少なくとも、研磨加重、上定盤の回転速度、下定盤の回転速度のうち1つ以上を変更して研磨することによって、よりきめ細かに研磨速度などを研磨中に自由に変更することができる。従って、ウェーハの研磨中であっても研磨条件の変化に適切に対応することができる。よって、研磨終了後の表面の平坦度が非常に高いウェーハにすることができる。
本発明のウェーハの研磨方法は、高い生産性で平坦なウェーハを製造することができるものである。このため、バッチ式で研磨することによって、生産性をより高めることができる。
前述のように、研磨開始からの経過時間や、研磨速度、研磨取り代によっても切り替えタイミングを変更することができるし、複数を総合して切り替えタイミングを変更することももちろんできる。
このように、随時厚さを測定しながら研磨を行っているので、所定目標厚さで確実にスラリーの切り替えが行えるとともに、最終的に得られるウェーハ厚さもバラツキのないものとすることができる。
この研磨布の劣化は、研磨中の厚さ測定により得られた厚さデータから求めた研磨速度から決定する。また、予め、同じ種類の研磨布で研磨速度と延べ研磨時間との関係を蓄積し、平均的な研磨速度と延べ研磨時間の対応表と高速研磨スラリー、低速研磨スラリーの切り替え条件を作成しておくことができる。
(実施例1)
図1に示すようなウェーハの研磨方法を用いてウェーハの研磨を行った。
研磨するウェーハとして、CZ法で成長したインゴットよりワイヤソーでスライスして切り出した直径300mmのp-型のシリコン単結晶ウェーハを720枚用意した。このp-型とは、p型の高抵抗率のウェーハのことである。これに通常の条件で面取り、ラッピング、エッチングを施した。
これに、図7で示した両面研磨装置を用いて、準備したシリコン単結晶ウェーハのうち240枚をバッチ式(1バッチ15枚)で両面研磨を施した。研磨布としてはニッタハースのMH-S15Aを用いた。また、切り替え前の研磨スラリーはフジミFGL11022番(高速研磨用)、切り替え後の研磨スラリーはフジミFGL2100(低速研磨用)を用いて研磨した。但し、研磨後のウェーハの厚さは、全ウェーハで常に一定に保つこととした。
図5において、研磨中に研磨スラリーの切り替えを行わずに、研磨時間を一定として、オーバーポリッシュや研磨不足が発生することを厭わないことにした以外は実施例1と同じ条件で、準備した720枚のうち240枚のウェーハの研磨を行い、同様の評価を行った。
図6に示すように、ウェーハの厚さを測定しながら研磨を行って研磨後のウェーハの目標厚さαを一定とするが、研磨中に研磨スラリーの切り替えを行わなかった以外は実施例1と同じ条件で残りの240枚のウェーハの研磨を行い、同様の評価を行った。
これに対し、図4(b)に示したように比較例2のウェーハの研磨方法によって研磨されたウェーハの表面形状は面内に分布を持っており、均一に研磨されていないことが判った。
これに対し、比較例1,2の研磨方法はともに研磨布の寿命に生産能力が左右され、安定しないことが判った。
図7のような両面研磨装置を用いて、バッチ式(1バッチ15枚)でウェーハの研磨を行った。この時の研磨後のウェーハの厚さの目標値を777μmとした。
研磨するウェーハとして、CZ法で成長したインゴットよりワイヤソーによりスライスして切り出した後、面取り、ラッピング、エッチングを施した直径300mmのp-型のシリコン単結晶ウェーハを600枚用意した。このp-型とは、p型の高抵抗率のウェーハのことである。
ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として、レーザー光の波長を1575~1775nmにチューニングできる波長可変赤外線レーザー装置が用いられた光学ユニットを備えたものを準備し、このようなウェーハ厚さ測定機構を用いてウェーハの厚さを測定しながら600枚のうち300枚研磨し、研磨後のウェーハの厚さをAFS(ADE社製静電容量型フラットネス測定装置)にて評価した。
実施例2と同様の両面研磨装置を用いてウェーハの研磨を残りの300枚に行った。しかし比較例3においてはウェーハ厚さ測定機構を作動させずに研磨を行った。また、研磨時間を固定とした。
実施例2の両面研磨装置で研磨したウェーハは、比較例3のウェーハに比べ、研磨後の平均仕上がり厚さのバラツキが小さく、約50%減少していたことが判った。
また、実施例2の両面研磨装置によれば標準偏差0.1μm以下の精度を達成できたことが判った。
図10のような両面研磨装置を準備した。
まず、複数の孔として、上定盤の中心を支点とする円周上に、直径20mmの孔を15個開けた。そして、孔の部分の外周部分よりも直径で20mm大きく切り取った穴(直径40mm)を有する研磨布(ニッタハース製研磨パッドMH、厚さ1500μm)と、窓材として、定盤に開けた孔より10mm径の大きい東レ製のPTSフィルム(直径30mm、厚さ150μm)を円板状に切り取り、両面テープ(住友スリーエム442JS3、厚さ110μm)をPTSフィルムの外周に沿って貼り付けたものを孔と同じ数準備した。そして両面テープによって上定盤の孔の部分に窓材を貼り付けた。
また、ウェーハ厚さ測定機構として、レーザー光の波長を1575~1755nmにチューニングできる波長可変赤外線レーザー装置が用いられた光学ユニットを備えたものを準備し、このようなウェーハ厚さ測定機構を用いてウェーハの厚さを測定しながら1000枚をバッチ式(1バッチ15枚)で研磨を行った。
また、窓材の劣化は従来とさほど変わらず、交換頻度もさほど変わらなかったが、研磨布の交換頻度は従来に比べて約1/2になった。このように、従来に比べて大幅に無駄を省くことができ、研磨布のコスト低減を達成することができた。
