摘要:
In the polishing machine 10 for pressing the polished surface 7 of the workpiece 1 against the face where there are abrasives 15 of the rotating polishing tool 11 and executing chemical mechanical polishing, the brushing device 30, the cleaner 40, the abrasive supplier 52, and the pure water supplier 60 are sequentially arranged behind the location of the head 20 for pressing the workpiece 1 against the polishing tool 11 in the rotational direction. The cleaner 40 sprays the cleaning water 47 to the face where there are abrasives 15 of the rotating polishing tool 11 and sucks and collects it by the vacuum hole 45. Fresh slurry 62 is always supplied by the slurry supplier 63 comprising the abrasive supplier 52 and the pure water supplier 60.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a polishing apparatus, and a semiconductor manufacturing method using the apparatus. Dressing of a grindstone surface is ground by sizing processing whereby dressing of a tool surface can be done while preventing occurrence of cracks on the grindstone surface which is the cause for occurrence of scratches. Further, flatness of the surface of a dressing tool can be guaranteed because of sizing cutting-in; even if a thick grindstone of a few centimeters is used, the flatness can be maintained to the end; and processing with less in-face unevenness can be always carried out. Therefore, the life of the dressing tool can be greatly extended.Further, the present sizing-dressing is carried out jointly with processing of a wafer to thereby enable improvement of throughput of the apparatus as well as maintenance of a processing rate.The present apparatus and method are effective for planarization of various substrate surfaces having irregularities.

摘要:
A method for processing semiconductor wafers, which provides planarized surface in a well controllable manner and with high accuracy by processing a film with uneven surface, formed over a semiconductor wafer, within the area of a working surface with a diameter larger than that of said semiconductor wafer by not more than two times, and by processing the film with a polishing liquid supplied from a supply unit disposed on a vertically arranged working surface is disclosed. Additionally, high quality dressing of the working surface can be easily performed by virtue of the smaller diameter of the working surface. Furthermore, the vertical arrangement of the working surface makes possible ready compatibility with semiconductor wafers of enlarged diameters.

摘要:
A semiconductor wafer includes a top surface on which a semiconductor circuit pattern is to be fabricated, and a bottom surface on which alignment marks for positioning the semiconductor circuit pattern are arranged. The alignment marks are arranged at a predetermined pitch and in an arrangement that is not unique to the pattern formed on the top surface.
摘要:
A method for detecting position detection marks on the bottom surface of a sample substrate and for determining the pattern forming positions on the top surface of the sample on the basis of the detected mark positions makes it possible to virtually eliminate the measurement errors caused by sample tilt in the position measurements regarding the sample top surface. When the sample tilts, a positional difference occurs between the top and bottom surfaces of the sample, and errors are accordingly generated in the position measurements from the sample top surface. According to the invention, the mark position measurements from the sample bottom surface are made to contain a deviation that varies with the tilt angle of the sample. The deviation is used to cancel the errors in the measured positions.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes grindstone surface activation treatment by means of a brush or ultrasonic wave carried out when a concave/convex pattern of a semiconductor wafer is planarized by polishing a semiconductor wafer held by a wafer holder by using a grindstone constituted of abrasive grains and material for holding the abrasive grains onto which the semiconductor wafer is pressed with relative motion. The semiconductor wafer is processed with high removal rate and the polishing thickness is controlled accurately.
