    摘要: A wire saw (10) for simultaneously slicing multiple, generally cylindrical monocrystalline ingots (14) into wafers. The wire saw includes a cutting head (16), an ingot support (12), and multiple generally parallel lengths of cutting wire (18) defining a cutting web (30). The ingot support (12) is adapted for mounting at least two ingots (14) thereon in registration with the cutting web. A slurry delivery system includes nozzles (34, 36, and 38) in an amount of at least one more than the number of ingots, the nozzles being positioned for dispensing slurry along the wire web generally at lateral sides of each ingot. A process for simultaneously slicing at least two generally cylindrical semiconductor ingots into wafers includes mounting at least two ingots to a common ingot support, moving the ingot support relative to the cutting web so that the two ingots simultaneously press against the cutting web at cutting regions, and dispensing a liquid slurry to at least three locations on the wire web including two outermost sides of the cutting regions and a location between each pair of ingots.

    摘要: A wafer polishing apparatus for polishing a semiconductor wafer. The polisher comprises a base (23), a turntable (27), a polishing pad (29) and a drive mechanism (45) for driven rotation of a polishing head (63). The polishing head is adapted to hold at least one wafer (35) for engaging a front surface of the wafer with a work surface of the polishing pad. A spherical bearing assembly (75) mounts the polishing head (63) on the drive mechanism for pivoting of the polishing head about a gimbal point (p) lying no higher than the work surface when the polishing head holds the wafer in engagement with the polishing pad. This pivoting allowing the plane of the front surface of the wafer to continuously align itself to equalize polishing pressure over the front surface of the wafer, while rotation of the polishing head is driven by the driving mechanism. This maintains the front surface and work surface in a continuously parallel relationship for more uniform polishing of a semiconductor wafer, particularly near the lateral edge of the wafer. A cassette of wafers and method of polishing are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for treating an exhausted fluid used in a process for slicing monocrystalline silicon containing a particulate abrasive material and a suspending agent, and including their separation and their regeneration for re-use, as well as silicon powder residuals comprising the steps of : a) lowering the viscosity of the exhausted fluid by addition of water; b) separating a water suspension of the available abrasive particles and a water suspension containing the silicon powder; c) drying the suspension of said abrasive particles in a furnace for recovery and re-use thereof; and d) filtering said water suspension of silicon powder in order to recover the silicon powder for subsequently drying and possibly re-using it,
       characterized in that said abrasive material is silicon carbide and said suspending agent is polyethylene glycol (PEG) and in that it further comprises the following steps:

    i) before said water dilution step a), warming said exhausted abrasive fluid so as to lower its viscosity,
    ii) filtering said exhausted warmed lower viscosity fluid, in order to obtain, on one hand, a wet powder agglomerate consisting of silicon carbide particles and silicon powder, said agglomerate being then subjected to said a), b), c) and d) steps, and, on the other hand, said suspending agent (PEG) which contain silicon powder,
    iii) separating said suspending agent (PEG) so as to extract pure suspending agent (PEG) intended for re-use and separating said silicon powder traces, that can be subsequently disposed or possibly reused.
