Description
図1に示す両面研磨装置10を用い、内周側切落し部X1、Y1の鉛直方向における切落し量A1、B1、外周側切落し部X2、Y2の鉛直方向における切落し量A2、B2、内周側切落し部X1、Y1の水平方向における幅をそれぞれC1、D1、外周側切落し部X2、Y2の水平方向における幅C2、D2の条件を、各試験例ごとに以下の表1のように変更してウェーハの両面研磨を行った。ここでウェーハは直径300mmのシリコンウェーハを用いた。各試験例において、A1=A2=B1=B2である。ここで、内周側切落し部X1、Y1の水平方向における幅をそれぞれC1、D1、外周側切落し部X2、Y2の水平方向における幅C2、D2は、全て51mmとした。また、切落し部は、上定盤及び下定盤の各内周部及び各外周部を研削機で研削することにより形成した。なお、試験例1では、切落し部を形成せずにウェーハの両面研磨を行った。
(i) GBIR:両面研磨後のウェーハ全面の平坦度について、測定装置(KLA Tencor社製 型名:Wafer Sight2)を用いてGBIRを測定することにより評価した。このときの測定条件は、測定範囲を、ウェーハの外周部2mmを除外した296mmとした。GBIR(Grobal Backside Ideal focalplane Range)とは、ウェーハの全面形状の平坦度を示す指標として用いられる値である。このGBIRは、ウェーハの裏面を完全に吸着したと仮定した場合におけるウェーハの裏面を基準として、ウェーハ全体の最大厚みと最小厚みとの差を算出することにより求められる。
図1に示す両面研磨装置10を用い、内周側切落し部X1、Y1の水平方向における幅C1、D1、外周側切落し部X2、Y2の水平方向における幅C2、D2の条件を、各試験例ごとに以下の表2のように変更してウェーハの両面研磨を行った。ここで、ウェーハは直径300mmのシリコンウェーハを用いた。また表2に示す係数αとは、切落し部をそれぞれウェーハ直径Rに対する長さ、即ちC1、C2、D1、D2=α×Rで表したときの係数αである。また、今回の各試験例において、C1=C2=D1=D2である。また、内周側切落し部X1、Y1の鉛直方向における切落し量A1、B1と、外周側切落し部X2、Y2の鉛直方向における切落し量A2、B2は、全て実施例1にて最適値と判断された50μmに固定した。他の実施条件、及び評価条件は、実施例1と同様である。なお、表2に示す試験例10、試験例14は、それぞれ上述の表1に示す試験例1、試験例6と同じ試験例である。
