摘要： A pressure suppression device for a chemical mechanical polishing machine. The chemical mechanical polishing machine includes a polishing table and a polishing head. The polishing table has a polishing pad and a polishing gas input through which a polishing gas is charged. The polishing head holds a wafer and has a wafer gas input through which a wafer gas is charged. The pressure suppression device has a pressure releasing component and a gas input tube coupled to the wafer gas input and the pressure releasing component. When a polishing pressure applied to the polishing pad is smaller than a wafer pressure applied to the wafer, the pressure releasing component releases a part of the wafer pressure until the wafer pressure is smaller than the polishing pressure. As a result, this prevents the wafer slippage or broken wafer that occur when the wafer is blown off from the polishing head by too much wafer pressure.

摘要： A pressure monitoring system arranged in a close loop circuit, intended to facilitate chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), is disclosed. The pressure monitoring circuit includes an air regulator, a pressure transducer, a pressure difference transducer and a pressure difference regulator. This hardware is equipped to facilitate finding three control parameters of the monitoring system—polishing pressure (Pp), pressure difference of the polishing pressure and a corresponding wafer pressure (Dp), and deviation of the output pressure difference from a set point pressure difference (Cp). By monitoring Pp, Dp and Cp, air streams in a CMP process can be effectively regulated on a real time basis and the troubleshooting procedure for the system hardware can be practically reduced.

摘要： A controlled pressure regulation system generates the wafer-pressing pressures during a polishing operation. A wafer carrier head holds a wafer to be polished against a platen. A first and second pressure regulators respectively generate a first and second pressure onto the platen and the wafer carrier head to press the wafer to be polished. A first and second controllers are respectively connected to the first and second pressure regulators in control feedback loops to control the generation of the first and second pressures. The first and second pressures are controlled to obtain a desired difference of pressure between the first and second pressure.

摘要： A detecting device for monitoring any abnormality in chemical-mechanical polishing. The detecting device includes a motor, an inverter, a control circuit, a rotation sensor, a current sensor, a relay controller and a chemical-mechanical controller. The inverter converts a direct current into an alternating current for driving the motor. The control circuit controls size and functioning of the output alternating current from the inverter. The rotation sensor is a transducer for converting the running speed of the motor into a rotation signal and transmitting the signal to the control circuit. The current sensor monitors the size of the alternating current flowing to the motor and then outputs a current signal. The relay controller receives the current signal from the current sensor and outputs a drive signal. The chemical-mechanical polishing controller receives the drive signal from the relay controller and outputs a system halt signal to the control circuit. The detecting device of this invention is able to detect any serious scratching or chipping of a silicon chip during a chemical-mechanical polishing operation so that the amount of damaged chips is greatly reduced.

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及改进的化学机械抛光装置，其减少抛光头上的空气尖锐压力，以防止未磨光晶片破裂。 本发明改进的化学机械抛光装置由晶片头，抛光头，阻尼器和传感器构成。 通过使连接到阻尼器空气入口的气体管线的直径小于连接到阻尼器空气出口的气体管线的直径来减小气体的流动速度。 通过在入口和出口之间添加空气临时存储机，初始空气急剧压力降低，使DELTAP = Pwafer-Ppolish <0。 另外，将传感器放在空气临时存储器下的空气管路上，当浆料由于浆料隔膜的破裂而流入空气管路时，传感器将向改进的化学机械抛光装置的控制系统发送信号， 并使相关部件自动停止运转，避免破损。
