摘要:
A polishing system for polishing a flat face of a rock comprises a polishing surface, a fence system, and a drive system. The polishing surface is supported for rotation about a primary rotation axis. The fence system is supported above the polishing surface. The drive system causes the polishing surface to rotate about the primary rotation axis and displace a driven portion of the fence system along a path relative to the primary rotation axis. The fence system engages the rock to prevent the polishing surface from causing the rock to move about the primary rotation axis and to cause the rock to move towards and away from the primary rotation axis.

A pulsed-force CMP scheme allows for the down force holding a wafer onto a pad to cycle periodically between minimum and maximum values. When the force is near its minimum value, slurry flows into the space between the wafer and the pad. When the force is near its maximum value, slurry is squeezed out allowing for the abrasive action of the pad surface to erode wafer surface features.

A wafer workpiece polishing temperature control method and apparatus are provided wherein wafers are mounted upon a rotatable pressure plate assembly positioned in rotatable contact with a turntable assembly supported polishing pad, the turntable assembly having internal fluid cooling means, the wafer polishing temperature control being achieved through responsive closed loop electromechanical means activated by variation of polishing pressure upon the wafers and the polishing pad.

This disclosure teaches structure for mounting a pressure plate relative to its supporting shaft in such a manner that axial forces are transmitted between the shaft and pressure plate while yet providing that the plate can freely rotate and swivel relative to the shaft even at varying angles of tilt. The mounting structure includes a pair of angular contact bearings arranged in back to back relationship, the inner races thereof being confined on the shaft and the outer races thereof being confined within a housing block. The housing block is nonrotatably keyed to the pressure plate and a single ball bearing is mounted between the pressure plate and bearing block in axial alignment with the shaft and with the pressure plate. In effect then, one of the angular contact bearings is working to allow free pressure plate rotation and swivel when axial compression forces are applied between the shaft and pressure plate, and the single ball bearing self aligns the axial force coaxially of the shaft and bearing plate; while the other angular contact bearing is working to allow free pressure plate rotation and swivel when the shaft is elevated and the plate is not supported on its underside.

A polishing machine or similar abrading apparatus having a horizontal platen rotatable about a vertical axis with workpieces held against the platen by at least one vertically movable support head. Pneumatic means are provided to raise and lower the support head with the pneumatic means operatively disengaged from the support head in the operating position, and with adjustable dead weight means and position aligning idlers controlling the pressure and position of the support head during operation.
