如第10圖所示,加工部75之構造係具有:X工作台83,其由設於X基座80上之X導引機構81,81所導引,且藉線性馬達82而朝圖中之X-X所示方向驅動,並於X工作台83上隔著朝θ方向旋轉之轉台84而設置工件台85。As shown in FIG. 10, the structure of the processing portion 75 has an X table 83 guided by the X guiding mechanisms 81, 81 provided on the X base 80, and by the linear motor 82 toward the figure. Driven in the direction indicated by XX, the workpiece stage 85 is provided on the X table 83 via a turntable 84 that rotates in the θ direction.

另外,在Y基座86之側面設有Y工作台88,88,其由Y導引機構87,87所導引且藉由未圖示之步進馬達及滾珠螺桿而朝圖中之Y-Y所示之Y方向驅動。在各Y工作台88上設置Z工作台89,其藉由未圖示之驅動手段而朝圖中之Z-Z所示之Z方向驅動,並在Z工作台89之前端固定有安裝了刀片71的高頻馬達內建型之主軸72。因加工部74之構造成為上述那樣,所以,刀片71朝Y方向作分度進刀並朝Z方向作切入進刀,工件台73則朝X方向作切削送料。Further, a Y stage 88, 88 is provided on the side of the Y base 86, which is guided by the Y guide mechanisms 87, 87 and is turned to the YY in the figure by a stepping motor and a ball screw (not shown). The Y direction is shown. A Z stage 89 is provided on each Y stage 88, which is driven in the Z direction indicated by ZZ in the drawing by a driving means (not shown), and a blade 71 is attached to the front end of the Z stage 89. The main shaft 72 of the high frequency motor built-in type. Since the structure of the processing unit 74 is as described above, the blade 71 is indexed into the Y direction and cut into the Z direction, and the workpiece stage 73 is cut and fed in the X direction.

主軸72均以1,000rpm~80,000rpm進行高速旋轉,並於其旁邊側設置未圖示之供液噴嘴,其供給切削液,用以使工件W浸漬於切削液中。Each of the main shafts 72 is rotated at a high speed of 1,000 rpm to 80,000 rpm, and a liquid supply nozzle (not shown) is provided on the side of the main shaft 72, and a cutting liquid is supplied to immerse the workpiece W in the cutting fluid.

刀片71係可採用由鎳將金剛石砂粒或CBN砂粒電沉積而形成之電沉積刀片、或由混入金屬粉末之樹脂所結合而成的金屬樹脂黏結刀片等。刀片71之尺寸係依加工內容而可進行多種之選擇,但在將通常之半導體晶圓作為工件進行切割的情況,可採用直徑50mm,厚度30μm左右者。The blade 71 may be an electrodeposition blade formed by electrodepositing diamond grit or CBN grit by nickel, or a metal resin bonding blade formed by combining resin mixed with metal powder. The size of the blade 71 can be variously selected depending on the processing content. However, in the case of cutting a normal semiconductor wafer as a workpiece, a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of about 30 μm can be used.

另外,控制切割裝置70之各部分的動作之控制器,係由CPU、記憶體、輸入輸出電路部、各種控制電路部等所構成,並被裝入切割裝置70之架台內部。作為此種之切割裝置,例如,提出有記載於專利文獻1之切割裝置。Further, the controller that controls the operation of each portion of the cutting device 70 is constituted by a CPU, a memory, an input/output circuit unit, various control circuit units, and the like, and is incorporated in the gantry of the cutting device 70. As such a cutting device, for example, a cutting device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is proposed.

另外,近年來,一種雷射切割裝置被用來取代此種刀片71的使用,而用於工件W之加工,該雷射切割裝置係將聚光點對準於工件W內部之雷射光射入工件W,於工件W內部形成複數個由多光子吸收所產生的改質區域後,將工件W擴展而分割成各個之晶片T。Further, in recent years, a laser cutting device has been used in place of the use of such a blade 71 for processing a workpiece W which is directed to align the condensed spot with the laser light incident inside the workpiece W. The workpiece W is formed into a plurality of modified regions generated by multiphoton absorption in the workpiece W, and then the workpiece W is expanded and divided into individual wafers T.

雷射切割裝置與切割裝置70相同,具備載台、搬運手段、工件台等,如第11圖所示,加工部75內與主軸72相同地對向設有雷射頭91。Similarly to the cutting device 70, the laser cutting device includes a stage, a conveying means, a workpiece stage, and the like. As shown in Fig. 11, the processing portion 75 is provided with the laser head 91 in the same direction as the main shaft 72.

雷射頭91係由雷射振盪器91A、準直透鏡91B、反射鏡91C及聚光鏡91D等所構成,從雷射振盪器91A所激發出之雷射光L,由準直透鏡91B整合成平行於水平方向的平行光線,並由反射鏡91C朝垂直方向反射,而由聚光鏡91D進行聚光(例如,參照專利文獻2)。The laser head 91 is composed of a laser oscillator 91A, a collimator lens 91B, a mirror 91C, a condensing mirror 91D, and the like, and the laser light L excited from the laser oscillator 91A is integrated by the collimator lens 91B in parallel with The parallel rays in the horizontal direction are reflected by the mirror 91C in the vertical direction, and are collected by the condensing mirror 91D (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).

當將雷射光L之聚光點設定於工件台73上所載置的工件W之厚度方向內部時,如第12(a)圖所示,穿透工件W表面之雷射光L的能量被集中在聚光點,於工件內部之聚光點附近形成由多光子吸收所產生的裂縫區域、熔化區域、折射率變化區域等的改質區域P。When the condensing point of the laser light L is set inside the thickness direction of the workpiece W placed on the workpiece stage 73, as shown in Fig. 12(a), the energy of the laser light L penetrating the surface of the workpiece W is concentrated. At the condensing point, a modified region P such as a crack region, a melting region, a refractive index change region, and the like which are generated by multiphoton absorption is formed in the vicinity of the condensing point inside the workpiece.

如第12(b)圖所示,改質區域P係藉由使工件W朝水平方向移動,而形成複數個並排於工件W內部。在此狀態下,工件W係以改質區域P作為起點而自然割斷、或是藉由施加極微小的外力而以改質區域P作為起點被割斷。在此情況時,不會在工件W表面或背面產生碎片而容易被分割成晶片。As shown in Fig. 12(b), the modified region P is formed by arranging a plurality of sheets in the horizontal direction by moving the workpiece W in the horizontal direction. In this state, the workpiece W is naturally cut by using the modified region P as a starting point, or is cut by using the modified region P as a starting point by applying a very small external force. In this case, no debris is generated on the surface or the back surface of the workpiece W, and it is easily divided into wafers.

在此種切割裝置70或雷射切割裝置中,在切割前,進行攝影手段74之拍攝位置與刀片71或雷射光之加工位置的相對距離之測量,並依需要進行攝影手段74、刀片71或雷射光之焦點位置的調整。在此種調整中,係藉由試驗性地進行工件W之切割加工,並利用攝影手段74來拍攝形成於工件W上之加工槽所進行。In such a cutting device 70 or a laser cutting device, the relative distance between the photographing position of the photographing means 74 and the processing position of the blade 71 or the laser beam is measured before cutting, and the photographing means 74, the blade 71 or the photographing means 74 or Adjustment of the focus position of the laser light. In such an adjustment, the cutting process of the workpiece W is experimentally performed, and the machining means 74 is used to image the machining groove formed on the workpiece W.

當新的需加工之工件W被載置於工件台73上時,藉由依上述方式而被對位之攝影手段74進行工件W之拍攝,以實施進行被加工之位置與加工手段的位置調整之對準動作。另外,在加工中亦依需要而隨時利用攝影手段74對工件W上進行拍攝,以進行加工狀況之檢查。When a new workpiece W to be processed is placed on the workpiece stage 73, the workpiece W is imaged by the photographing means 74 aligned in the above manner to perform position adjustment of the processed position and the processing means. Align the action. In addition, the workpiece W is photographed by the photographing means 74 at any time during processing to perform inspection of the processing conditions.

藉此,不用試驗性地加工虛擬工件,便可進行刀片8與工件W之調整。Thereby, the adjustment of the blade 8 and the workpiece W can be performed without experimentally machining the dummy workpiece.

又,在最初載置於工件台11上之工件W的切割結束並載置了新的工件時,同樣藉由攝影手段12同時拍攝刀片8與工件W而進行對準。此時,可藉由將第一攝影部12A之焦點對準於刀片8的前端部時之焦距變化,來測量刀片8之Z方向高度變化,能以非接觸方式測量刀片8之磨損量。在刀片8之磨損量大於規定値的情況,藉由切割裝置1對操作者發出催促刀片交換之警告。Further, when the cutting of the workpiece W placed on the workpiece table 11 is completed and a new workpiece is placed, the blade 8 and the workpiece W are simultaneously imaged by the photographing means 12 to perform alignment. At this time, the change in the height of the blade 8 in the Z direction can be measured by aligning the focus of the first photographing portion 12A with the focal length of the blade 8, and the amount of wear of the blade 8 can be measured in a non-contact manner. In the case where the amount of wear of the blade 8 is larger than the prescribed enthalpy, the operator is prompted by the cutting device 1 to urge the blade exchange.

如以上說明,根據本發明之切割裝置及切割方法,不用試驗性地加工虛擬工件,便可進行刀片與工件之調整,可縮短調整時間,減少調整所需之費用,藉以提高整個裝置之運轉率。又,能以非接觸方式測量刀片之磨損量,可更進一步提高裝置之運轉率。As described above, according to the cutting device and the cutting method of the present invention, the blade and the workpiece can be adjusted without experimentally processing the dummy workpiece, the adjustment time can be shortened, and the cost required for the adjustment can be reduced, thereby improving the operation rate of the entire device. .
