摘要:
A method of polishing semiconductor wafers includes a double side primary polishing step and a single side secondary polishing step using a single side polishing machine with a wafer holder including a template so bonded on a carrier plate as having one or more wafer receiving holes in which backing pads are disposed respectively for holding the back sides of the respective wafers fittingly received therein. This method makes it to possible to hold a plurality of wafers at one time due to batch processing to thereby improve the productivity, and decrease extremely the generation of the defective dimples in the front side of the wafer. Compared with conventional single side polishing, the flatness level of the wafer polished with the double side polishing machine in this method is improved.

A method for inducing damage for gettering to the rear surface of a single crystal silicon wafer by polishing the rear surface, which can provide a good gettering effect to the wafer and can also depress dusting characteristics of the rear surface of the wafer, is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of; moving the wafer on an abrasive cloth relatively, and supplying an abrasive liquid having a pH in the range of 4-9 which contains silica particles having an average diameter in the range of 0.1-10 .mu.m as abrasive grains, between the wafer and the abrasive cloth.

A wafer which allows manufacture of a device to proceed at an exalted yield by preventing the resolution of exposure at the step of photolithography during the manufacture of the device from being impaired is obtained by a method which comprises a slicing step for slicing a single crystal ingot thereby obtaining wafers of the shape of a thin disc, a chamfering step for chamfering the wafer obtained by the slicing step, a lapping step for imparting a flat surface to the chamfered wafer, an etching step for removing mechanical strain remaining in the lapped wafer, an obverse surface-polishing step for polishing one side of the etched wafer, and a cleaning step for cleaning the polished wafer, which method is characterized by interposing between the etching step and the obverse surface-polishing step a reverse surface-preparing step for preparing the shape of the reverse side of the wafer.

A semiconductor wafer polishing agent contains mainly a silica containing polishing agent and is added with a polyolefin type fine particle material. The novel semiconductor wafer polishing agent is capable of low brightness polishing to the back face of the wafer, sensor detection of the front and back faces of the wafer, and suppression of dust to be generated by chipping of the back face of the wafer, thereby to increase the yield of semiconductor devices. A polishing method using the polishing agent and a novel semiconductor wafer having a back face with an unconventional surface shape are also disclosed.

摘要:
A polishing pad composed of a rigid polyurethane added with CaCO.sub.3 particles is able to provide polished wafers having a surface roughness which is comparable to that attained by the conventional final polishing process. Even when polishing is achieved under a high load condition to improve the productivity, the polished wafers are free from deformation, such as concaving, and have an excellent flatness.

According to the invention, the flatness and quality can be improved while simplifying the process even when large size wafers of 200 to 300 mm or above are processed. Basic steps involved are a slicing step E for obtaining thin disc-shape wafers by slicing, a chamfering step F for chamfering the sliced wafers, a flattening step G for flattening the chamfered wafers, an alkali etching step H for removing process damage layers from the flattened wafers, and a double-side polishing step K of simultaneously polishing the two sides of the etched wafers. If necessary, a plasma etching step is used in lieu of the flattening and etching steps G and H respectively.
