    摘要: A post-process sizing control device is provided with origin compensation means for controlling a size measuring device to measure an actual size of a workpiece portion and for compensating the origin of a wheel head by a position compensation amount which corresponds to a difference between the actual size and a theoretical size derived from calculation and size measuring interval setting means for setting the number of workpieces which should be ground during the next size measuring interval which begins after the preceding origin compensation operation and ends with the next origin compensation operation. The size measuring interval setting means sets the number of workpieces which should be ground during the next size measuring interval, based on an average position compensation amount derived by dividing a position compensation amount for the last workpiece ground during the present size measuring interval by the number of workpieces ground during the present size measuring interval.

    摘要: Two machine tools are provided with control systems for machining two different types of pieces to be matched to each other. In order to obtain small batches of relevant pieces that basically can be completely matched to one another, the control systems are independent from each other and each of them comprises post-process and in-process checking stations; the first station, besides checking the proper operation of the in-process station progressively and at short regular intervals changes its zero condition, so as to obtain machining pieces having dimensions evenly distributed within the relevant tolerance range.

    摘要: A substrate polishing apparatus includes a top ring for pressing a substrate against a polishing pad to perform substrate polishing; a spectrum generating unit that directs light onto a surface of the substrate of interest for polishing, receives reflected light, and calculates a reflectivity spectrum corresponding to the wavelength of the reflected light; and a storage that stores a plurality of thickness estimating algorithms for estimating the thickness of the polished surface in accordance with the reflectivity spectrum. A plurality of thickness estimating algorithms is selected among the thickness estimating algorithms stored in the storage, and a switching condition is set. The thickness of the polished surface is estimated by using the set thickness estimating algorithms, and if the switching condition is satisfied, the thickness estimating algorithm to be applied is switched.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a polishing method and a polishing apparatus for polishing a substrate such as a wafer while measuring a film thickness based on optical information included in reflected light from the substrate. The polishing method includes preparing a plurality of spectrum groups each containing a plurality of reference spectra corresponding to different film thicknesses; directing light to a substrate and receiving reflected light from the substrate; producing, from the reflected light, a sampling spectrum for selecting a spectrum group; selecting a spectrum group containing a reference spectrum which is closest in shape to the sampling spectrum; producing a measurement spectrum for obtaining a film thickness while polishing the substrate; selecting, from the selected spectrum group, a reference spectrum which is closest in shape to the measurement spectrum that has been produced when the substrate is being polished; and obtaining a film thickness corresponding to the selected reference spectrum.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a technique of calculating a responsiveness of a polishing rate to change in a pressure to press a workpiece, such as a wafer, a substrate, or a panel, for use in manufacturing of semiconductor devices, against a polishing pad. A method includes: performing simulation to calculate a pressing-pressure responsiveness profile indicating a distribution of pressing pressure, which is to be applied from the workpiece to a polishing pad (2), changed in response to a change in unit pressure in the pressure chamber of a polishing head (7); pressing the workpiece against the polishing pad to polish the workpiece, while a predetermined pressure is maintained in the pressure chamber; creating a polishing-rate profile indicating a distribution of polishing rate of the polished workpiece; and creating the polishing-rate responsiveness profile based on the pressing-pressure responsiveness profile, the predetermined pressure, and the polishing-rate profile.
