摘要:
The polishing apparatus (100) comprises a turn table (10), which polishes a semiconductor wafer (2), and a holding and pressing part (20), which holds and presses the semiconductor wafer (2) against a polishing surface (12a) of the turn table (10). The holding and pressing part (20) transmits a force from an air bag (62) to the semiconductor wafer (2) via a pressurized fluid layer (L) to thereby press the semiconductor wafer (2) against the polishing surface (12a) via the pressurized fluid layer (L), so that the semiconductor wafer (2) can be polished. Thereby, it is possible to uniformly polish the semiconductor wafer (2).

A dicing machine of the present invention is provided with two spindles (64, 66), which are arranged parallel to one another in the direction of the Y-axis and face one another. A workpiece (W) is moved toward the spindles (64, 66) in the direction of the X-axis, and two blades (68, 70) fitted to the two spindles (64, 66) cut the workpiece (W). The two spindles (64, 66) are movable in the direction of the Y-axis, so that the two blades (68, 70) can be arranged at a desired interval. One of the spindles (64, 66) is movable in the direction of the X-axis so that the two blades (68, 70) can be arranged on the same street. Hence, desired two streets or one street can be simultaneously cut with the two blades (68, 70).

The mounting structure of the invention comprises a mount (3) including a first cylindrical engagement portion (31), and a first screw portion (33); a cutting blade (4) including a second engagement portion (43) engaging with a first engagement portion (31); and a screw member (5) including a second screw portion (51) being screwed into the first screw portion (33) so that the screw member (5) presses the cutting blade (4) against the flange surface (32) for fixation, the mount (3) further including a third cylindrical engagement portion (36), and the screw member (5) including a fourth engagement portion (52) engaging with the third engagement portion (36).
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of measuring the depth of a dicing groove, employing an ultrasonic detector, capable of measuring the depth of the groove in a high accuracy when the groove is cut in a full-cut mode. A method according to the present invention employes an ultrasonic detector which emits ultrasonic waves, measures the time interval between the emission of the ultrasonic waves and the return of their echo, the phase difference between the emitted ultrasonic waves and the reflected ultrasonic waves, or both the time interval and the phase difference to measure the depth of the groove. The method of the present invention is featured by determining the depth of the dicing groove on the basis of the depth of the groove formed in an exposed area of the adhesive sheet not occupied by the workpiece.
摘要:
An icon relocation system and a method therefore applied to a three-dimensional coordinates measuring machine (16) having measurement programs for performing various measurements and measuring based on a specified measurement program. The icon menu table indicating said various measurements and divided into from first group to Nth group is read out from an external storage medium. The respective icons of the selected icon menu are displayed on a display means (12) in a row by selecting one group from the read-out icon menu table, and further, the measurement program is selected by selecting an icon among from a icon group displayed on said display means (12). Each utilization frequency of the icon is counted based on the icon selection, and the icon menu table is edited so as to locate an icon with high utilization frequency in a high group. And, the edited icon menu table is memorized in the storage media.

An inner peripheral cutting edge (10) is made of a doughnut-shaped blade (12) deposited diamond grains, arranged rotatably in the directionof an arrow and held in a moving trestle (16). The moving trestle (16) is mounted movable in the direction of an arrow B along rails (18 and 18) located in sides of the inner peripheral cutting edge (10), and driven by instruction signals from a control section (20). A workpiece (22) is placed at the inner peripheral position of the inner peripheral cutting edge (10) and rocked about the axis thereof by a motor (25). The motor (25) is fitted on a beam member and driven by instruction signals from the control section (20). With this arrangement, the inner peripheral cutting edge (10) is rotated in the direction of the arrow A, and then the moving trestle (16) is fed in the direction of the arrow B by the control section (20) and the workpiece (22) is pressed against a grindstone (14) of the inner peripheral cutting edge (10), sthat the workpiece (22) is cut by a predetermined value, thereafter, the moving trestle (16) is stopped by the control section (20) and the workpiece (22) is rocked about the axis thereof by driving the motor (25), so that a reminder part can be cut.
摘要:
A method for slicing a cylindrical semiconductor ingot (34) into thin wafer pieces using an inner peripheral slicing blade (14) is provided. In the wafer slicing method, a grind stone shaft (62) with a grind stone (16) mounted to the tip end thereof is located movably axially within a rotor (38) provided with the inner peripheral slicing blade (14) and the grind stone shaft (62) and rotor (38) can be rotated integrally. The grind stone (16) and slicing blade (14) are arranged efficiently, so that, after the semiconductor ingot (34) is sliced with the slicing blade (14), the grind stone approaches the end face of the ingot (349 to grind it. This can save a lapping step, thereby improving a working efficiency.
摘要:
A slicing method is disclosed in which a crystal ingot is sliced by a rotary blade (14) while the inner peripheral cutting edge of the blade (14) is kept in a highly rigid state. In particular, in a slicing machine which is adapted to slice out a crystal ingot (20) into thin pieces by use of an inner peripheral cutting edge 16 of a doughnut-shaped rotary blade (14), an axial force is previously applied to the rotary blade (14) prior to starting of the slicing to thereby displace the rotary blade 14 in the axial direction thereof and thus, while the rigidity of the inner peripheral cutting edge (16) is kept in a high state, the crystal ingot (20) is sliced so as to realize a highly accurate slicing operation.
