摘要: There is provided a substrate polishing machine which comprises a polishing surface and a substrate carrier for holding a substrate and bringing it into contact with the polishing surface. The substrate carrier comprises a carrier body, a substrate holding member for holding a substrate with a surface of the substrate to be polished being directed towards the polishing surface. The substrate holding member is mounted on the carrier body in such a manner that the substrate holding member is movable both towards and away from the polishing surface. The substrate polishing machine further comprises a substrate holding member positioning device provided on a side of the substrate holding member opposite to that used for holding the substrate. The substrate holding member positioning device has a flexible member which defines a chamber, and which, upon introduction of a non-compressible fluid, is expanded in a direction towards the polishing surface.

摘要: A polishing surface is conditioned by pressing a diamond dresser against the polishing surface to thinly shave a surface of the polishing surface. Foreign matter clogging concavities formed in the polishing surface is scraped by pressing a brush dresser against the polishing surface in a state such that a polishing liquid is not supplied to the polishing table. A liquid composed of a mixture of a liquid or inert gas with pure water or a chemical liquid is ejected onto the polishing surface to clean the polishing surface.

摘要: A dressing apparatus is used to resurface a polishing surface of a polish cloth used to polish semiconductor wafers. A dressing brush which spins on its own axis is also coupled to a drive shaft of a main drive of the dressing apparatus through a planetary gear mechanism so that the brush will rotate or orbit about the drive shaft. Therefore, the dressing brush traces a complex path and its dressing action is spread over a wide surface area of the polishing cloth to produce thorough resurfacing of the polishing surface. The service life of the cloth is significantly increased and contributes to improving the overall efficiency of preparing high quality polished semiconductor wafers. For economy, the dressing apparatus can be mounted easily on a conventional polishing apparatus having a dressing facility.
