- the thickness of the wafer before and after polishing was measured with a flatness measuring device in the area excluding the outermost 2 mm width as the flatness guarantee area, and before and after polishing in the cross section in the wafer diameter direction. It was calculated by taking the difference in thickness.
- a flatness measuring device a flatness measuring device (WaferSight) manufactured by KLA-Tencor was used.
- polishing head was prepared.
- a rigid ring made of SUS having an outer diameter of 360 mm and an inner diameter of 320 mm was used, and a rubber rubber having a tension of 7.5 N and silicon rubber having a rubber hardness of 90 degrees was bonded to the lower surface of the rigid ring.
- a template having an outer diameter of 355 mm, an inner diameter of 302 mm, a thickness of 700 ⁇ m (Example 1), a thickness of 780 ⁇ m (Example 2), and a thickness of 800 ⁇ m (Example 3) was attached to the surface of the backing film.
- a commercially available template assembly was glued.
- an incompressible fluid was sealed using a fluid sealing device.
- a 75 ⁇ m adjustment spacer is inserted into the lower surface of the template.
- the adjustment spacer is not used.
- the adjustment spacer is 25 ⁇ m on the lower surface of the wafer.
- pure water was used as an incompressible fluid, and the space was sealed at a pressure of 20 kPa.
- the prepared polishing head was mounted on the polishing apparatus of the present invention as shown in FIG. 4 to polish the wafer. Note that the used wafer is preliminarily polished on both surfaces thereof and the edge portion is also polished. In addition, a surface plate having a diameter of 800 mm was used, and a commonly used surface was used for the polishing cloth.
- polishing an alkaline solution containing colloidal silica was used as an abrasive, and the polishing head and the surface plate were each rotated at 30 rpm.
- the polishing load (pressing force) of the wafer was set to 20 kPa in terms of surface pressure on the wafer surface by a not-shown pressurizing means, and the wafer was polished.
- the polishing time was adjusted so that the average polishing amount of the wafer was 1 ⁇ m.
- the polishing allowance distribution of the wafer polished in Example 1-3 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the polishing allowance distribution of the wafer hardly depends on the thickness of the template, unlike Comparative Example 1-3 described later, and a substantially uniform polishing allowance distribution is obtained.
- the range of the cross section polishing allowance was 0.042 ⁇ m in Example 1, 0.027 ⁇ m in Example 2, and 0.048 ⁇ m in Example 3, which was improved compared to Comparative Example 1-3 described later.
- the entire wafer can be uniformly polished regardless of the thickness of the template.
- Example 1-3 Using a polishing apparatus as shown in FIG. 10 equipped with a conventional polishing head having no incompressible fluid of the present invention as shown in FIG. 13, under the same conditions as in Example 1-3, a silicon single crystal The wafer was polished.
- the rigid ring and template of the polishing head are the same as those in Example 1-3, silicon rubber having a rubber hardness of 70 degrees is used as the rubber film, and the rubber ring is bonded to the lower surface of the rigid ring with a tension of 5 N. It was.
- the polishing allowance distribution of the wafer polished in Comparative Example 1-3 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the polishing allowance distribution of the wafer strongly depends on the thickness of the template. When the thickness of the template is thinner than the thickness of the wafer (Comparative Example 1), the wafer outer peripheral portion is excessive. On the contrary, when the thickness of the template is thicker than the thickness of the wafer (Comparative Example 3), it can be seen that the polishing margin of the outer peripheral portion of the wafer is reduced.
- the range of the cross section polishing allowance was 0.181 ⁇ m in Comparative Example 1, 0.061 ⁇ m in Comparative Example 2, and 0.104 ⁇ m in Comparative Example 3, which were worse than those in Example 1-3.
- Example 4--7 Silicon single crystal under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that silicon rubber was bonded under the conditions of tension 5N (Example 4), 20N (Example 5), 35N (Example 6), and 48N (Example 7).
- the wafer was polished, and in the same manner as in Example 1, the variation in the polishing allowance in the polished wafer surface was evaluated.
- FIG. 7A shows the polishing allowance distribution of the wafer polished in Example 4-7. Further, as a polishing allowance distribution on the outer peripheral portion of the wafer, a polishing allowance distribution in a range from 120 mm to 148 mm from the wafer center is shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, it can be seen that in any of Examples 4-7, the wafer was uniformly polished to the outer periphery.
- FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the tension of silicon rubber and the variation in the polishing margin of the outer periphery of the wafer. As shown in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the larger the rubber tension is, the smaller the peripheral portion polishing margin variation of the wafer is. In addition, when the tension is 30 N or more, the outer peripheral portion polishing margin variation of the wafer is 0.020 ⁇ m or less, which indicates that the outer peripheral portion of the wafer can be polished more uniformly.
- Example 8 In order to investigate the influence of the sealing pressure of the incompressible fluid, a polishing head in which pure water was sealed with the pressure at the time of sealing set to 10 kPa (Example 8) and 40 kPa (Example 9) was used. Except for the above, the silicon single crystal wafer was polished under the same conditions as in Example 7, and as in Example 7, the variation in the polishing allowance within the wafer surface after polishing was evaluated.
- FIG. 9 shows a polishing margin distribution of the outer peripheral portion of the wafer polished in Examples 8 and 9.
- the variation in polishing margin at the outer peripheral portion of the wafer in Example 7 is 0.011 ⁇ m, whereas that in Example 8 in which the sealing pressure is 10 kPa lower than the pure water sealing pressure in Example 7 is 20 kPa.
- the variation in polishing margin on the outer periphery of the wafer was as large as 0.033 ⁇ m, and the variation in polishing margin on the outer periphery of the wafer in Example 9 which was 40 kPa higher than that in Example 7 was reduced to 0.005 ⁇ m. .
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
- the above-described embodiment is an exemplification, and the present invention has any configuration that has substantially the same configuration as the technical idea described in the claims of the present invention and that exhibits the same effects.
- the polishing head according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the shape and the like of the polishing head may be appropriately designed except for the requirements described in the claims.
- the configuration of the polishing apparatus is not limited to that shown in FIG. 4, and for example, a polishing apparatus including a plurality of polishing heads according to the present invention may be used.
