Abstract
Description
図4は従来の両頭研削装置の一例を示す概略図である。
図4(A)に示すように、両頭研削装置101は、薄板状のウェーハ103を径方向に沿って外周側から支持する自転可能なホルダー102と、ホルダー102の両側に位置し、ホルダー102を自転の軸方向に沿って両側から、流体の静圧により非接触支持する一対の静圧支持部材112と、ホルダー102により支持されたウェーハ103の両面を同時に研削する一対の砥石104を備えている。砥石104はモータ111に取り付けられており、高速回転できるようになっている。
また、ウェーハが変形しないようにホルダーの突起部を軟質化した場合、突起部の剛性が不足したり、または、突起部がウェーハの厚み方向に変形して砥石と接触して磨耗することで剛性が劣化したりすることにより、突起部の破損頻度が増大する。この時加工されているウェーハは、割れの発生が起きなくとも、突起部が破損して回転駆動を失ったことでウェーハ全面の均一な研削ができていないために製品とはならないことから、歩留まりが低下するという問題が生じていた。
このように、前記1つ以上形成するウェーハ支持用のノッチの深さを0.5mm以下とすれば、後工程での面取り加工によりウェーハ支持用のノッチを容易に除去することができる。
従来、両頭研削装置を用いたウェーハの両面の両頭研削において、ホルダーの突起部とウェーハのノッチとを1箇所で係合させホルダーでウェーハの外周部を支持し、その状態で研削を行った場合、この1つのノッチ及び突起部に回転駆動による応力が集中するため、ウェーハのノッチ周辺が変形し易くなり、ウェーハのうねり、すなわちナノトポグラフィーが発生し、ひいてはウェーハや突起部が破損するという問題があった。
図1(A)に示すように、両頭研削装置1は、主に、ウェーハ3を支持するホルダー2と、ウェーハ3の両面を同時に研削する一対の砥石4を備えている。
図1(B)に本発明の両頭研削装置で使用することができるホルダー2の一例の概要図を示す。図1(B)に示すように、ホルダー2は、主として、リング状のリング部8、ウェーハ3と接触してウェーハ3の径方向に沿って外周側から支持する支持部9、ホルダー2を自転させるために用いられる内歯車部7を有している。
そして、図1(B)に示すように、支持部9の縁部から内側に向かって突出した突起部5が2つ形成されている。これらの突起部5は、1つはウェーハの結晶方位を示すノッチ6aと係合する突起部5aであり、他は、ウェーハ支持用に形成されたノッチ6bに係合する突起部5bである。図1(B)はウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bに係合する突起部5bを1つ形成しているものの例であるが、突起部5bを2つ以上形成しても良い。
このように、本発明の両頭研削装置1は、ウェーハ3のノッチ6とホルダー2の突起部5が複数個所で係合してウェーハ3を支持し、ホルダー2の回転駆動をウェーハ3に伝達することができるようになっている。
また、例えば、支持部9の材質は樹脂、内歯車部7および駆動歯車10の材質はSUSとすることができるが、これらに限定されるものではない。
また、結晶方位用のノッチ6aの深さは、ウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bの深さよりも深く、面取り加工を行っても除去されない深さとすることができる。
静圧支持部材12は、外周側にホルダー2を非接触支持するホルダ静圧部と、内周側にウェーハを非接触支持するウェーハ静圧部から構成されている。また、静圧支持部材12には、ホルダー2を自転させるのに用いられる駆動歯車10を挿入するための穴や、砥石4を挿入するための穴が形成されている。
ここでは、図1に示すような本発明の両頭研削装置1を用いた場合について説明する。
まず、結晶方位用のノッチ6aとは別に、ホルダー2の突起部5と係合してウェーハ3を支持させるための少なくとも1つ以上のウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bをウェーハ3に形成する。
あるいは、インゴット14をスライスしてウェーハ3とした後に、ウェーハ3のエッジ部の粗面取りを行う面取り加工工程でウェーハ支持用ノッチ6bを形成しても良い。
また、前記したようにして形成したウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bと結晶方位用のノッチ6aに係合する突起部5a、5bを予めホルダー2に設けておく。
ここで、両頭研削装置1が、図1に示すような静圧支持部材12を具備している場合には、ウェーハ3を支持するホルダー2を、一対の静圧支持部材12の間に、静圧支持部材12とホルダー2が隙間を有するようにして配置し、静圧支持部材12から、例えば水のような流体を供給し、ホルダー2を非接触支持する。
このように、ウェーハ3を研削することにより、研削時に発生する回転駆動応力を結晶方位用のノッチ6aと1つ以上のウェーハ支持用のノッチ6b間及びそれらのノッチと係合する突起部5a、5b間で分散することができ、ホルダー2の突起部が破損することもなく、ウェーハ3のノッチ周辺の変形を抑制して製造するウェーハ3のナノトポグラフィーを改善することができる。また、製造するウェーハ3及び突起部5の破損率を低減して製品歩留まりの向上と装置コストの低減をすることができる。
このように、1つ以上形成するウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bの位置を、少なくとも結晶方位用のノッチ6aの位置に対しウェーハ3の中心軸に関して円対称の位置を含めれば、研削時にウェーハ3のノッチ6及び突起部5に掛かる回転駆動応力をより効率的に分散することができ、ウェーハ3のノッチ周辺の変形をより確実に抑制して製造するウェーハのナノトポグラフィーをより確実に改善することができる。また、製造するウェーハ3及び突起部5の破損率をより確実に低減して製品歩留まりの向上と装置コストの低減をすることができる
そのため、1つ以上形成するウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bの深さを0.5mm以下とすることが好ましい。
また、結晶方位用のノッチ6aの深さは、ウェーハ支持用のノッチ6bの深さよりも深く、面取り加工を行っても除去されない深さとすることができる。
直径約300mmのインゴットの直胴部を円筒研削し、その円筒研削工程でインゴットの結晶方位を示す深さ1.0mmのノッチと、その結晶方位用のノッチの位置に対しインゴット中心軸に関して円対称の位置に深さ0.5mmのウェーハ支持用のノッチを1つ形成し、その後、インゴットをスライス加工してウェーハとし、図1に示すような両頭研削装置を用いて、本発明のウェーハの製造方法に従って、それら15枚のウェーハの両面を両頭研削し、その後、ウェーハの外周を約0.5mmの取り代で面取り加工してウェーハ支持用のノッチを除去した。そして、得られた15枚のウェーハのナノトポグラフィーを測定した。
このことにより、本発明の両頭研削装置及びウェーハの製造方法を用いることにより、製造するウェーハのナノトポグラフィーを改善することができ、また、破損率を低減して製品歩留まりの向上と装置コストの低減をすることができることが確認できた。
図4に示すような従来の両頭研削装置を用い、結晶方位を示すノッチのみホルダーの突起部と係合させた以外、実施例と同様な条件でウェーハの両頭研削を行い、実施例と同様にウェーハのナノトポグラフィーを測定した。
結果を図5に示す。
図5に示すように、実施例と比較してナノトポグラフィーが悪い結果であることが分かった。
