The invention relates to a polisher for polishing a workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer, so that it may have a flat mirror finish. The polisher comprises a polisher table (1) with a polishing face, and a top ring (3). A workpiece is placed between the polisher table (1) and the top ring (3) and polished by application of a predetermined pressure. The polisher includes at least two dressing units equipped with dressers (7, 11) that are in contact with the surface of polishing cloth to dress the polishing face.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polishing device capable of carrying out polishing according to the distribution of the thickness of the film formed on the surface of the workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer and obtaining uniformity of the film thickness after polishing. SOLUTION: The polishing device for polishing a semiconductor wafer W, which is a workpiece, pressed against the polishing face of a polishing table 11 is provided with a dresser 39 for dressing the polishing face of the polishing table 11, a rocking motor 36 for moving the dresser 39 on the polishing face of the polishing table 11, a control device 50, which controls the speed of the motion of the dresser 39 caused by the rocking motor 36 according to the thickness of a film to be polished at a specified position in the region in the polishing face used for polishing a specified position in the polished face of the semiconductor wafer W.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adjusting method of inter-roll gap of a substrate processing apparatus which can be installed with suitable pressing amount between a first roll and a second roll by accurately detecting positions where the first roll and second roll come into contact with a substrate. SOLUTION: A substrate jig 50, a first roll jig 40-1 and a second roll jig 40-2 are prepared, and an outer periphery of the substrate jig 50 is inserted into a circumferential groove 12a of a head 12 to be supported. The second roll jig is positioned through position adjustment so that the gap between a reverse surface of the substrate jig 50 and the second roll jig 40-2 has a predetermined value, the first roll jig 40-1 is opposed to the second roll jig 40-2, and the first roll jig is positioned through position adjustment so that the gap between the second roll jig and the first roll jig has a predetermined value. Then the first roll is held by a first roll rotating mechanism 17 holding the first roll jig 40-1 and the second roll is held by a second roll rotating mechanism 18 holding the second roll jig 40-2.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for cleaning the polishing surface of a polishing apparatus which prevents foreign particles removed from the polishing surface of a polishing table from being deposited and adhered to the inner wall of a cover that is attached in such a manner to surround injection nozzles of the polishing surface cleaning apparatus of atomizer system. SOLUTION: The apparatus for cleaning the polishing surface of the polishing apparatus in which mixed fluids 14 comprising cleaning liquid and gas are injected from the injection nozzles 7-1 to 7-4 to the polishing surface of the polishing apparatus which presses an object to be polished to the polishing surface of the polishing table (top surface of a polishing cloth 2) to polish the object to be polished by relative motions of the polishing surface and the object to be polished, wherein a cover 12 is provided that surrounds a predetermined outer region ranging from front ends the injection nozzles to the polishing surface where the mixed fluids are injected, and a space adjustment mechanism 13 is provided for adjusting a space between the front end of the cover and the polishing surface.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polishing device that can improve the polishing quality of a polished object by easily and reliably removing polishing dust and polishing liquid that adhere to a top ring and a dresser to cause a scratch. SOLUTION: The polishing device comprises a polishing table 11 with an abrasive surface, a top ring 23 for pressing a semiconductor wafer W on the abrasive surface of the polishing table 11, a dresser 33 for dressing the abrasive surface of the polishing table 11, and cleaning devices 14 and 18 for cleaning the top ring 23 and the dresser 33. The surfaces of the top ring 23 and the dresser 33 are coated with a fluororesin.
