劃線處理系統Line processing system

本發明係關於一種用於脆性材料基板之切斷的劃線處理系統,尤其關於劃線處理系統中使用之旋轉刀片的管理。The present invention relates to a scribing system for the cutting of a substrate of a brittle material, and more particularly to the management of a rotating blade used in a scribing system.

作為用於切斷玻璃基板等脆性材料基板(以下亦簡稱為基板)之裝置,劃線裝置廣為人知(參照例如專利文獻1、專利文獻2及專利文獻3)。劃線裝置係例如於製造液晶顯示面板或液晶投影機基板等平板顯示器(FPD,Flat Panel Display)的工藝中,用於將由2塊母玻璃基板貼合而成之貼合基板切斷成規定大小的步驟等中。A scribing device is widely known as a device for cutting a brittle material substrate (hereinafter also referred to as a substrate) such as a glass substrate (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). The scribing device is used to cut a bonded substrate formed by bonding two mother glass substrates into a predetermined size, for example, in a process of manufacturing a flat panel display (FPD) such as a liquid crystal display panel or a liquid crystal projector substrate. Steps, etc.

概言之,劃線裝置係藉由使外周端部成為V字型刀尖之圓盤狀的工具即旋轉刀片(劃線輪、或者亦可簡稱為刀片)沿著基板表面上預先決定的預切斷線壓接轉動而進行劃線,使裂縫擴展的裝置。另外,既存在僅利用上述劃線來切斷基板之情形,亦存在藉由在斷裂(break)步驟中對已被劃線的基板賦予應力來切斷基板之情形。In general, the scribing device is a predetermined pre-determined pre-determined path along the surface of the substrate by a rotating blade (a scribing wheel or a blade) which is a disc-shaped tool having a V-shaped blade tip at the outer peripheral end. A device in which the cutting line is crimped and rotated to perform scribing to expand the crack. Further, there is a case where the substrate is cut only by the above-described scribe line, and there is a case where the substrate is cut by applying stress to the substrate which has been scribed in the break step.

另外,作為劃線裝置,已知有多種構成之劃線裝置,可根據用途選擇使用適當的構成。例如,存在如專利文獻1及專利文獻2中揭示之僅對脆性材料基板之單面進行劃線的構成之劃線裝置、或如專利文獻3中揭示之可同時對脆性材料基板之雙面進行劃線的構成之劃線裝置。另外,專利文獻1及專利文獻2中揭示之劃線裝置具有可使脆性材料基板在水平面內旋轉的構成,與此相對,專利文獻3中揭示之劃線裝置僅能沿一方向搬送脆性材料基板。Further, as the scribing device, a plurality of scribing devices having various configurations are known, and an appropriate configuration can be selected and used depending on the application. For example, there is a scribe line device configured to scribe a single side of a brittle material substrate as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, or a double sided line of a brittle material substrate as disclosed in Patent Document 3 A scribing device for scribing. In addition, the scribing device disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which the brittle material substrate can be rotated in the horizontal plane. On the other hand, the scribing device disclosed in Patent Document 3 can transport the brittle material substrate only in one direction. .

於製造FPD之工廠等中,多數情形時係在同一設施內使複數個劃線裝置同時並行地運轉,使各個劃線裝置將不同材質或品種的基板切斷。通常,當切斷基板時,根據成為對象之基板的材質或切斷方式而選擇使用不同種類的旋轉刀片,因此,在上述設施內,會產生同時並行地使用複數種旋轉刀片的狀況。在如上文所述之情形時,必需對各個劃線裝置正確地安裝應使用的旋轉刀片。In many factories and the like where FPD is manufactured, in many cases, a plurality of scribing devices are simultaneously operated in parallel in the same facility, and each scribing device cuts substrates of different materials or varieties. In general, when the substrate is cut, different types of rotary blades are selected depending on the material of the target substrate or the cutting method. Therefore, in the above-described facility, a plurality of types of rotary blades are used in parallel. In the case as described above, it is necessary to correctly mount the rotary blade to be used for each scribing device.

而且,旋轉刀片之刀尖雖然係由金剛石等硬質材料構成,但其是隨著使用會產生磨耗的消耗品,在達到使用壽命之前必需在合適的時機進行更換。然而,旋轉刀片係整體之直徑至多為數毫米左右的微小的構件,而難以用肉眼判別刀尖的狀態。而且,亦不容易將其型式或批號等標印於側面以對各個旋轉刀片加以區分甚至管理。因此,以往,根據實際切斷後所得的產物來判斷劃線品質,且判斷旋轉刀片是否到達使用壽命(使用極限)。然而,在所述形態中,當出現產品不良(劃線不良)之後才開始更換旋轉刀片,因此,於產品良率之提高方面存在極限。Further, although the tip of the rotary blade is made of a hard material such as diamond, it is a consumable that causes wear due to use, and must be replaced at an appropriate timing before reaching the service life. However, the rotary blade is a minute member having a diameter of at most several millimeters, and it is difficult to visually recognize the state of the blade edge. Moreover, it is not easy to mark its type or lot number on the side to distinguish or even manage each rotary blade. Therefore, conventionally, the quality of the scribing is judged based on the product obtained after the actual cutting, and it is judged whether or not the rotating blade has reached the service life (use limit). However, in the above-described form, the replacement of the rotary blade is started after the occurrence of a defective product (defective scribing), and therefore there is a limit in the improvement of the yield of the product.

於專利文獻1及專利文獻2中,揭示有如下技術:使旋轉刀片與刀片保持具一體化,在必需更換旋轉刀片之情形時與刀片保持具一起更換,藉此提高了旋轉刀片的操作性,並且藉由將旋轉刀片之種類或用來消除旋轉刀片之安裝誤差的初始設定用的資料等,以條形碼或二 維碼的形式標印於刀片保持具上,來實現旋轉刀片之管理性的提高與伴隨更換而進行之初始處理的效率化。Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose a technique of integrating a rotary blade with a blade holder and replacing it with a blade holder when it is necessary to replace the rotary blade, thereby improving the operability of the rotary blade. And by using the type of the rotating blade or the material for the initial setting of the mounting error of the rotating blade, etc., to the barcode or the second The form of the dimension code is stamped on the blade holder to improve the manageability of the rotary blade and the efficiency of the initial processing with replacement.

於專利文獻2中亦進一步揭示有如下形態:針對每一刀片保持具賦予管理編號,並且準備記錄.更新該管理編號、及與該刀片保持具一體化之旋轉刀片的移行距離的管理平台,在即將用於劃線之旋轉刀片的移行距離超過規定值之情形時,判斷必需更換旋轉刀片。Patent Document 2 further discloses a configuration in which a management number is assigned to each blade holder and a record is prepared. The management platform that updates the management number and the travel distance of the rotary blade integrated with the blade holder determines that it is necessary to replace the rotary blade when the travel distance of the rotary blade to be used for scribing exceeds a predetermined value.

然而,於專利文獻1及專利文獻2揭示之形態中,雖然可對各個旋轉刀片加以區分,但無法禁止執行誤用本來不應該使用之旋轉刀片或已到達使用壽命之旋轉刀片的劃線。However, in the form disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is possible to distinguish between the respective rotary blades, but it is not possible to prohibit the execution of the scribe line of the rotary blade that should not be used originally or the rotary blade that has reached the service life.

而且,旋轉刀片之使用壽命並非僅僅由移行距離規定,其亦會根據旋轉刀片的使用形態即脆性材料的切斷方式而有所不同。Moreover, the service life of the rotary blade is not limited only by the travel distance, but also depending on the use form of the rotary blade, that is, the cutting method of the brittle material.

本發明係鑒於所述課題而完成,其目的在於提供一種可更確實地避免使用可能會引起產品不良之旋轉刀片的劃線處理系統。The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a scribing processing system which can more reliably avoid the use of a rotary blade which may cause a product defect.

<第1實施形態><First embodiment> <旋轉刀片及其周邊構成><Rotating blade and its surrounding structure>

首先,於本發明之第1實施形態中,對劃線裝置中所使用的旋轉刀片(亦簡稱刀片)、作為其保持具的刀片保持具、及作為劃線裝置中的刀片保持具的安裝端的保持具接頭進行說明。圖1係保持著旋轉刀片1之狀態下的刀片保持具10的立體圖,圖2係表示安裝旋轉刀片1之狀況的刀片保持具10的側視圖。圖3係安裝有刀片保持具10之狀態下的保持具接頭20的側剖面圖。First, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a rotary blade (also referred to as a blade) used in a scribing device, a blade holder as a holder thereof, and a mounting end of a blade holder in a scribing device are used. Hold the connector for instructions. 1 is a perspective view of the blade holder 10 in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is held, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the blade holder 10 in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is mounted. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the holder joint 20 in a state in which the blade holder 10 is mounted.

旋轉刀片1是外周端部成為V字型的刃部2的圓盤狀工具,且於中心具有貫通孔3。旋轉刀片1中至少其刃部2的部分係由金剛石等硬質材料所構成。旋轉刀片1是以保持在刀片保持具10上的狀態,安裝在下述劃線裝置上,用於劃線處理。作為旋轉刀片1,通常是使用具有1.0mm~6.0mm左右的外徑(輪徑)、及0.4mm~1.1mm左右的厚度的旋轉刀片。The rotary blade 1 is a disk-shaped tool in which the outer peripheral end portion is a V-shaped blade portion 2, and has a through hole 3 at the center. At least the portion of the rotary blade 1 whose blade portion 2 is made of a hard material such as diamond. The rotary blade 1 is attached to the scribing device in a state of being held on the blade holder 10 for scribing. As the rotary blade 1, a rotary blade having an outer diameter (wheel diameter) of about 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm and a thickness of about 0.4 mm to 1.1 mm is usually used.

刀片保持具10是保持旋轉刀片1的大致圓筒形的構件。刀片保持具10中,在其長度方向的一端部,具有與該長度方向平行地設置的大致正方形狀的平坦部11a、11b。另一方面,長度方向的另一端部成為用以將刀片保持具10安裝在劃線裝置上的安裝部16。而且,刀片保持具10中至少安裝部16附近係由磁性體金屬所構成。The blade holder 10 is a substantially cylindrical member that holds the rotary blade 1. In the blade holder 10, at one end portion in the longitudinal direction, there are substantially flat flat portions 11a and 11b which are provided in parallel with the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, the other end portion in the longitudinal direction serves as a mounting portion 16 for attaching the blade holder 10 to the scribing device. Further, at least the vicinity of the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 is made of a magnetic metal.

平坦部11a、11b是以相對於刀片保持具10的長度方向的中心軸而對稱的方式設置,且平坦部11a、11b之間成為沿著中心軸的缺口部12。此外,在平坦部11a、11b的下端,設置有貫通於與各面垂直的方向的銷槽13。The flat portions 11a and 11b are provided symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the blade holder 10 in the longitudinal direction, and the flat portions 11a and 11b are formed as notches 12 along the central axis. Further, at the lower ends of the flat portions 11a and 11b, pin grooves 13 penetrating in a direction perpendicular to the respective faces are provided.

在刀片保持具10中,在使旋轉刀片1位於缺口部12的狀態下,將銷15插入至形成在旋轉刀片1的中心處的貫通孔3、及位於其兩側的平坦部11a、11b的銷槽13中,藉此,旋轉刀片1以銷15作為軸而自由旋轉地得到保持。另外,在本實施形態之情形時,將銷15插入至銷槽13中而使旋轉刀片1保持在刀片保持具10上之後,不將旋轉刀片1從刀片 保持具10上卸除。例如,使劃線裝置中所使用的旋轉刀片1的更換通過更換刀片保持具10本身而進行。因此,在以後的說明中,只要不特別註明,所謂的刀片保持具10均是指安裝有旋轉刀片1之狀態下的刀片保持具。In the blade holder 10, in a state where the rotary blade 1 is placed in the notch portion 12, the pin 15 is inserted into the through hole 3 formed at the center of the rotary blade 1, and the flat portions 11a, 11b on both sides thereof. In the pin groove 13, the rotary blade 1 is rotatably held by the pin 15 as an axis. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, after the pin 15 is inserted into the pin groove 13 to hold the rotary blade 1 on the blade holder 10, the rotary blade 1 is not taken from the blade. The holder 10 is removed. For example, the replacement of the rotary blade 1 used in the scribing device is performed by replacing the blade holder 10 itself. Therefore, in the following description, the blade holder 10 refers to the blade holder in a state in which the rotary blade 1 is attached, unless otherwise specified.

在平坦部11a上,標印有代碼14(然而在圖3中省略圖示)。代碼14是預先對保持在刀片保持具10上的旋轉刀片1的型式或管理編號等個體識別資訊、及初始修正(補償,offset)資訊等與安裝在該刀片保持具10上的旋轉刀片1相關的文本資訊進行編碼而記錄的代碼。作為代碼14,較佳的一例是使用QR碼(註冊商標)。作為元資料的文本資訊的格式可適當決定,例如,可決定為如下格式。On the flat portion 11a, the code 14 is marked (although the illustration is omitted in Fig. 3). Code 14 is an individual identification information such as a type or management number of the rotary blade 1 held on the blade holder 10, and initial correction (offset) information and the like associated with the rotary blade 1 mounted on the blade holder 10. The code of the text information is encoded and recorded. As a code 14, a preferred example is to use a QR code (registered trademark). The format of the text information as the metadata can be appropriately determined, for example, it can be determined as the following format.

(表示型式的字串)/(表示管理編號的字串)/(表示初始修正資訊的字串)(string indicating type) / (string indicating management number) / (string indicating initial correction information)

這裏,型式是遵照特定的規則而將旋轉刀片1的尺寸(外徑、內徑、厚度、刀尖角度等)或材質等字串化。管理編號是指唯一性地賦予各旋轉刀片1的編號。而且,初始修正(補償)資訊是指為了消除(補償)因旋轉刀片1相對於刀片保持具10的安裝誤差而導致的劃線位置的偏移,而針對每個旋轉刀片1預先特定出的校正用資訊。Here, the pattern is a string of the size (outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, tool nose angle, etc.) or material of the rotary blade 1 in accordance with a specific rule. The management number refers to a number uniquely assigned to each of the rotary blades 1. Moreover, the initial correction (compensation) information refers to a correction specified in advance for each rotary blade 1 in order to eliminate (compensate) the offset of the scribe line position due to the mounting error of the rotary blade 1 with respect to the blade holder 10. Use information.

代碼14是在旋轉刀片1安裝在刀片保持具10上之後,且在已特定出初始修正(補償)資訊之後,由公知的雷射標記裝置等而標印。而且,如下所述,代碼14是在進行劃線之前,由讀碼器140(參照圖5)讀取並解碼(decode)。Code 14 is after the rotary blade 1 is mounted on the blade holder 10, and after the initial correction (compensation) information has been specified, it is marked by a well-known laser marking device or the like. Moreover, as described below, the code 14 is read and decoded by the code reader 140 (refer to FIG. 5) before scribing.

安裝部16形成為將圓筒的一部分切除所成的形狀,且包含傾斜部16a、及與刀片保持具10的長度方向平行的平坦部16b。平坦部16b是與保持旋轉刀片1之側的平坦部11a、11b垂直地設置。藉由將具有該形狀的安裝部16插入至劃線裝置中所包含的保持具接頭20中,而實現旋轉刀片1安裝在劃線裝置上的狀態。The mounting portion 16 is formed in a shape in which a part of the cylinder is cut away, and includes an inclined portion 16a and a flat portion 16b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 10. The flat portion 16b is provided perpendicular to the flat portions 11a, 11b on the side holding the rotary blade 1. The state in which the rotary blade 1 is mounted on the scribing device is realized by inserting the mounting portion 16 having this shape into the holder joint 20 included in the scribing device.

雖然在圖3中省略了圖示,但保持具接頭20是構成下述劃線裝置的一部分的構件,且是劃線裝置中的刀片保持具10的安裝端。保持具接頭20包含安裝保持刀片保持具10的保持部22。而且,在保持具接頭20中,包含使該保持具接頭20繞沿著Z軸方向延伸的旋轉軸AX1自由旋轉的軸承21a、21b。Although not shown in FIG. 3, the holder joint 20 is a member constituting a part of the scribing device described below, and is a mounting end of the blade holder 10 in the scribing device. The holder joint 20 includes a retaining portion 22 that mounts and holds the blade holder 10. Further, the holder joint 20 includes bearings 21a and 21b that allow the holder joint 20 to freely rotate about a rotation axis AX1 extending in the Z-axis direction.

在保持部22上,形成有有底筒狀的開口23,在其最深端部埋設有磁鐵24。此外,在開口23的側面,與開口23的延伸方向垂直地,設有用以決定刀片保持具10的插入位置的定位銷25。A hole 23 having a bottomed cylindrical shape is formed in the holding portion 22, and a magnet 24 is embedded in the deepest end portion thereof. Further, on the side surface of the opening 23, a positioning pin 25 for determining the insertion position of the blade holder 10 is provided perpendicular to the extending direction of the opening 23.

刀片保持具10相對於保持具接頭20的安裝是可藉由將刀片保持具10的安裝部16插入至保持具接頭20的開口23中而進行。即,若將刀片保持具10的安裝部16插入至開口23中,則由磁性體構成的刀片保持具10的安裝部16會被磁鐵24吸引,藉此刀片保持具10會被拉向開口23內部,在該過程中,若傾斜部16a的某處與定位銷25接觸,則以後,安裝部16會以開口23的延伸方向為軸而旋轉,並以如圖3所示的、定位銷25的延伸方向與傾斜部16a彼此平行地相互抵接的狀態靜止。這時,刀片保持具10受定位銷25的作用而禁止其旋轉方向的活動,並且受到來自磁鐵24的吸引力,因此結果為,形成固定地安裝在保持具接頭20上的狀態。The mounting of the blade holder 10 relative to the holder joint 20 can be performed by inserting the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 into the opening 23 of the holder joint 20. That is, when the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 is inserted into the opening 23, the mounting portion 16 of the blade holder 10 made of a magnetic material is attracted by the magnet 24, whereby the blade holder 10 is pulled toward the opening 23 Internally, in this process, if a certain portion of the inclined portion 16a is in contact with the positioning pin 25, the mounting portion 16 will be rotated about the extending direction of the opening 23, and the positioning pin 25 as shown in FIG. The extending direction is stationary in a state in which the inclined portions 16a abut each other in parallel with each other. At this time, the blade holder 10 is prevented from moving in the rotational direction by the action of the positioning pin 25, and receives the attraction force from the magnet 24, and as a result, is formed in a state of being fixedly attached to the holder joint 20.

另一方面,在安裝於保持具接頭20上的狀態下,作用於刀片保持具10的長度方向的力僅為磁力,因此刀片保持具10從保持具接頭20上的卸除可通過從平坦部11a、11b之側拉拽而容易地進行。On the other hand, in the state of being attached to the holder joint 20, the force acting on the longitudinal direction of the blade holder 10 is only the magnetic force, so that the removal of the blade holder 10 from the holder joint 20 can be passed from the flat portion. The sides of 11a and 11b are pulled and easily carried out.

另外,保持具接頭20的開口23是以在安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下,旋轉刀片1的銷15的水平位置與作為軸承21a、21b的旋轉中心的旋轉軸AX1的水平位置錯開的方式設置。其目的在於:在執行劃線動作時使旋轉刀片1產生所謂的主銷後傾穩定效應(caster effect)。關於主銷後傾穩定效應將於下文敍述。Further, the opening 23 of the holder joint 20 is a manner in which the horizontal position of the pin 15 of the rotary blade 1 and the horizontal position of the rotation axis AX1 which is the rotation center of the bearings 21a and 21b are shifted in a state in which the blade holder 10 is attached. Settings. The purpose is to cause the rotating blade 1 to generate a so-called caster caster effect when the scribing action is performed. The post-stabilization effect of the kingpin will be described below.

其次,對構成本實施形態的劃線處理系統的劃線裝置及控制其動作的控制器的構成進行說明。另外,儘管劃線裝置在構成上可獲得各種變化,但在以下方面是共通的,即,包含保持具接頭20,且是在該保持具接頭20上安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下進行劃線。以下,對作為代表性構成例的、包含使脆性材料基板旋轉的機構但僅對脆性材料基板之單面進行劃線的劃線裝置100、及可進行雙面劃線但不含使脆性材料基板旋轉的機構的劃線裝置200依序進行說明。另外,不進行脆性材料基板的旋轉且僅可進行單面劃線的劃線裝置或既可進行雙面劃線亦可進行基板旋轉的劃線裝置等當然亦能成為本發明的對象。Next, the configuration of the scribing device constituting the scribing processing system of the present embodiment and the controller for controlling the operation thereof will be described. Further, although the scribing device can be variously configured, it is common in that the retainer joint 20 is included and the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20. line. Hereinafter, a scribing device 100 that scribes a single surface of a brittle material substrate, which includes a mechanism for rotating a brittle material substrate, as a representative configuration example, and a double-sided scribing line, but does not include a brittle material substrate The scribing device 200 of the rotating mechanism will be described in order. Further, it is a matter of course that the scribing device which can perform the single-sided scribing without rotating the brittle material substrate or the scribing device which can perform the double-sided scribing or the substrate rotation can also be the object of the present invention.

(第1構成)(first structure)

圖4係表示第1構成之劃線裝置100之主要機械性構成要素的外觀立體圖。概略地來說,劃線裝置100係藉由使載置固定有脆性材料基板P的移動台101與包含旋轉刀片1的劃線頭30相對地移動,而對脆性材料基板P進行劃線的裝置。另外,在圖4中,繪製有右手系的XYZ座標,其中,將移動台101的移動方向設為Y軸方向、將水平面內的劃線頭30的移動方向設為X軸方向、將鉛垂方向設為Z軸方向。4 is an external perspective view showing main mechanical components of the scribing device 100 of the first configuration. Roughly speaking, the scribing device 100 is a device for scribing the brittle material substrate P by moving the mobile station 101 on which the brittle material substrate P is placed and fixed to the scribing head 30 including the rotary blade 1 . In addition, in FIG. 4, the XYZ coordinates of the right-handed system are drawn, in which the moving direction of the moving stage 101 is set to the Y-axis direction, and the moving direction of the scribing head 30 in the horizontal plane is set to the X-axis direction, and the vertical direction will be vertical. The direction is set to the Z axis direction.

移動台101沿著一對導軌102a、102b可在Y軸方向上自由移動的方式保持,並且與滾珠螺桿103螺合。滾珠螺桿103通過搬送用馬達104的驅動而旋轉,且使移動台101沿著導軌102a、102b在Y軸方向上移動。The moving table 101 is held in such a manner that the pair of guide rails 102a, 102b are freely movable in the Y-axis direction, and is screwed with the ball screw 103. The ball screw 103 is rotated by the driving of the conveying motor 104, and the moving table 101 is moved in the Y-axis direction along the guide rails 102a and 102b.

而且,在移動台101之上,設置有旋轉機構105及平台106。旋轉機構105包含使平台106在xy平面上旋轉的馬達。在平台106上,分別2根一對地包含用以確定脆性材料基板P在正交的2邊上的載置位置的定位銷107a及107b。在進行劃線時,脆性材料基板P係以抵接在該等定位銷107a及107b的狀態載置在平台106上,且通過平台106的內部所包 含的未圖示的真空抽吸器件等保持固定在平台上。即,在劃線裝置100中,平台106作為脆性材料基板P的保持器件而發揮功能。Further, on the mobile station 101, a rotating mechanism 105 and a stage 106 are provided. The rotating mechanism 105 includes a motor that rotates the platform 106 in the xy plane. On the stage 106, positioning pins 107a and 107b for determining the placement position of the brittle material substrate P on the two sides of the brittle material substrate are respectively provided in a pair. When the scribing is performed, the brittle material substrate P is placed on the stage 106 in a state of abutting on the positioning pins 107a and 107b, and is enclosed by the inside of the stage 106. A vacuum suction device or the like (not shown) is kept fixed to the stage. That is, in the scribing device 100, the stage 106 functions as a holding device of the brittle material substrate P.

而且,在劃線裝置100的上部,設置有拍攝設置在脆性材料基板P的上表面(劃線面)上的定位用對準標記的2台CCD(Charge Coupled Device,電荷耦合器件)攝影機108。Further, on the upper portion of the scribing device 100, two CCD (Charge Coupled Device) cameras 108 that image positioning alignment marks provided on the upper surface (scribe surface) of the brittle material substrate P are provided.

此外,在劃線裝置100中,橋部110係藉由支柱111a、111b而架設。橋部110是以橫跨沿著Y軸方向延伸的移動台101的移動路徑的形態,沿著X軸方向而設置。而且,在橋部110上包含劃線頭30。劃線頭30通過在橋部110中沿著作為其延伸方向的X軸方向而設置的公知的線性馬達112,在X軸方向上自由移動。另外,在本實施形態中,使線性馬達112驅動時的劃線頭30的移動速度成為X軸方向的劃線時的劃線速度。Further, in the scribing device 100, the bridge portion 110 is erected by the pillars 111a and 111b. The bridge portion 110 is provided along the X-axis direction in a form of a movement path that straddles the movement table 101 extending in the Y-axis direction. Further, a scribing head 30 is included on the bridge portion 110. The scribing head 30 is freely movable in the X-axis direction by a known linear motor 112 provided in the bridge portion 110 along the X-axis direction in which the extending direction is written. Further, in the present embodiment, the moving speed of the scribing head 30 when the linear motor 112 is driven is the scribing speed at the time of the scribing in the X-axis direction.

在劃線頭30上,以開口23朝向鉛垂下方的姿勢具備上述保持具接頭20。在刀片保持具10安裝在該姿勢的保持具接頭20上的狀態下,旋轉刀片1位於最下端部。在該狀態下,銷15在刀片保持具10上成為水平,因此旋轉刀片1以與水平面正交的姿勢,以水平方向為軸自由旋轉。The holder joint 20 is provided on the scribing head 30 in a posture in which the opening 23 faces downward. In a state where the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20 in this posture, the rotary blade 1 is located at the lowermost end. In this state, since the pin 15 is horizontal on the blade holder 10, the rotary blade 1 is freely rotatable in the horizontal direction as a direction orthogonal to the horizontal plane.

並且,如上所述包含軸承21a、21b,因此在劃線裝置100中,保持具接頭20在水平面內旋轉自如。藉此,於刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上之情形時,旋轉刀片1在水平面內自由旋轉。Further, since the bearings 21a and 21b are included as described above, in the scribing device 100, the holder joint 20 is rotatable in the horizontal plane. Thereby, when the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20, the rotary blade 1 is free to rotate in the horizontal plane.

劃線頭30還包含可進行保持具接頭20的升降動作的升降部31。升降部31係藉由例如伺服馬達、線性馬達、或使用氣壓控制的氣缸等而實現。The scribing head 30 further includes a lifting portion 31 that can perform a lifting operation of the holder joint 20. The lifting unit 31 is realized by, for example, a servo motor, a linear motor, or an air cylinder that uses air pressure control.

在具有如上構成之劃線裝置100中,概略而言為如下構成:在將刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上的狀態下,把將脆性材料基板P載置固定在平台106之上的移動台101配置於橋部110的正下方,一面 使刀片保持具10下端的旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸、一面通過線性馬達112使劃線頭30沿著X軸方向移動,藉此使旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P壓接轉動,而對脆性材料基板P進行沿著X軸方向的劃線。在該情況下,藉由適當地將移動台101的配置位置改變,可在Y軸方向的任意位置進行沿著X軸方向的劃線。In the scribing apparatus 100 having the above configuration, it is roughly configured such that the brittle material substrate P is placed and fixed on the stage 106 while the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20. The mobile station 101 is disposed directly below the bridge portion 110. The rotary blade 1 at the lower end of the blade holder 10 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P, and the scribing head 30 is moved in the X-axis direction by the linear motor 112, whereby the rotary blade 1 is pressed and rotated with respect to the brittle material substrate P. On the other hand, the brittle material substrate P is scribed along the X-axis direction. In this case, by appropriately changing the arrangement position of the mobile station 101, the scribe line along the X-axis direction can be performed at any position in the Y-axis direction.

進而,亦可為如下構成:一面使刀片保持具10下端的旋轉刀片1與載置固定在平台106之上的脆性材料基板P接觸、一面使移動台101沿著Y軸方向移動,藉此使旋轉刀片1對於脆性材料基板P相對地壓接轉動,而對脆性材料基板P進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。在該情況下,藉由將劃線頭30在橋部110上的配置位置適當改變,可在X軸方向的任意位置進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the rotary blade 1 at the lower end of the blade holder 10 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P placed on the stage 106, and the movable table 101 is moved in the Y-axis direction. The rotary blade 1 is relatively pressed against the brittle material substrate P, and the brittle material substrate P is scribed along the Y-axis direction. In this case, by appropriately changing the arrangement position of the scribing head 30 on the bridge portion 110, the scribing along the Y-axis direction can be performed at any position in the X-axis direction.

圖5係表示劃線裝置100所具備的控制器120的功能性構成的方塊圖。控制器120主要包括控制部121、圖像處理部122、輸入部123、代碼處理部124、搬送機構驅動部125、旋轉機構驅動部126、劃線頭驅動部127、監視器128、製程配方資料保持部129、及使用歷程保持部130。另外,控制器120的較佳之一例係藉由通用的個人電腦而實現,但亦可藉由組入劃線裝置100中而構成。FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the controller 120 included in the scribing device 100. The controller 120 mainly includes a control unit 121, an image processing unit 122, an input unit 123, a code processing unit 124, a transport mechanism drive unit 125, a rotation mechanism drive unit 126, a scribing head drive unit 127, a monitor 128, and a process recipe data. The holding unit 129 and the use history holding unit 130. Further, a preferred example of the controller 120 is realized by a general-purpose personal computer, but may be constituted by being incorporated in the scribing device 100.

控制部121包含CPU(Central Processing Unit,中央處理單元)、ROM(Read-Only Memory,唯讀記憶體)、RAM(Random Access Memory,隨機存取記憶體)等,為統括地控制劃線裝置100的各部動作之部位。The control unit 121 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read-Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and controls the scribing device 100 in an integrated manner. The parts of each part of the action.

圖像處理部122是處理來自CCD攝影機108a、108b的圖像信號的部位。例如,在進行成為劃線對象的脆性材料基板P的位置修正(對準)、或劃線位置的初始修正等時,來自CCD攝影機108a、108b的圖像信號在圖像處理部122中經適當處理後,被供給至控制部121的修正運算處理。The image processing unit 122 is a portion that processes image signals from the CCD cameras 108a and 108b. For example, when the position correction (alignment) of the brittle material substrate P to be scribing or the initial correction of the scribing position or the like is performed, the image signals from the CCD cameras 108a and 108b are appropriately applied to the image processing unit 122.

圖6係例示本實施形態中之使用歷程資料D2的圖。在圖6中,例示有如下情形:將從執行劃線開始到結束的期間內、旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數、外切的次數、旋轉刀片1所發生之扭轉的次數、旋轉刀片1的X軸方向的移行距離(單位:m)、Y軸方向的移行距離(單位:m)、及總移行距離(單位:m)設定為刀片參數,且記錄有使用旋轉刀片1之日的各刀片參數的增加值(a1 ~an 、b1 ~bn 、c1 ~cn 、d1 ~dn 、e1 ~en 、d1 +e1 ~dn +en )、及各刀片參數之累計值(a、b、c、d、e、d+e)。另外,關於各刀片參數的詳情將於下文敍述。Fig. 6 is a view showing the use history data D2 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 6, the case where the number of collisions of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P, the number of circumcisions, the number of times of the torsion of the rotary blade 1, and the rotation from the start to the end of the scribing are exemplified The travel distance (unit: m) of the blade 1 in the X-axis direction, the travel distance (unit: m) in the Y-axis direction, and the total travel distance (unit: m) are set as the blade parameters, and the date on which the rotary blade 1 is used is recorded.

In addition, details regarding the parameters of each blade will be described below.

再者,如圖6所示,在使用歷程資料D2中,記載有關於各刀片參數的使用極限值(A、B、C、D、E、F),並且關於各刀片參數,記載有表示最新的累計值是否已達到使用極限值的極限標誌。所謂使用極限值是指若在該刀片參數的最新的累計值超過該值的狀態下使用旋轉刀片1,則幾乎確實會發生產品不良(劃線不良)的值。使用極限值是各個旋轉刀片1所固有的值。Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the use history data D2, the use limit values (A, B, C, D, E, and F) for each blade parameter are described, and the latest parameter is described for each blade parameter. Whether the accumulated value has reached the limit mark of the use limit value. The use limit value means that if the rotary blade 1 is used in a state where the latest integrated value of the blade parameter exceeds the value, the value of the product defect (defective line defect) almost surely occurs. The use limit value is a value inherent to each of the rotary blades 1.

在本實施形態中,對於最新的累計值超過使用極限值的刀片參數,將極限標誌設為「1」,對於最新的累計值未超過使用極限值的刀片參數,將極限標誌設為「0」。在圖6中,例示有成為「X軸方向移行距離」的刀片參數超過使用極限值(d>D)的情況。如下所述,在本實施形態中,即便旋轉刀片1只存在1個極限標誌為「1」的刀片參數,亦被禁止使用,若不進行更換則無法進行劃線動作。即,通過檢查極限標誌的值,可特定出該旋轉刀片1是否為不可使用。In the present embodiment, the limit flag is set to "1" for the blade parameter whose latest integrated value exceeds the use limit value, and the limit flag is set to "0" for the blade parameter whose latest integrated value does not exceed the use limit value. . In FIG. 6, the case where the blade parameter which becomes "X-axis direction transition distance" exceeds the use limit value (d>D) is illustrated. As described below, in the present embodiment, even if only one blade parameter having the limit flag of "1" is present in the rotary blade 1, it is prohibited to use, and the scribing operation cannot be performed unless the replacement is performed. That is, by checking the value of the limit flag, it is possible to specify whether or not the rotary blade 1 is unusable.

或者,亦可為如下形態:僅擷取對應的使用歷程資料D2中存在極限標誌為「1」的刀片參數之旋轉刀片1的個體識別資訊而製成刀片不可使用資料,根據該刀片不可使用資料中是否記載有個體識別資訊,而判斷旋轉刀片1能否使用。Alternatively, it may be such that only the individual identification information of the rotary blade 1 having the blade parameter whose limit flag is "1" in the corresponding use history data D2 is obtained, and the blade non-use data is created, and the data is not available according to the blade. Whether or not the individual identification information is recorded is used to determine whether the rotary blade 1 can be used.

而且,圖6所示的刀片參數僅為例示,所設定的刀片參數的種類、或使用歷程資料D2的記載格式並不限於圖6所示。又,作為使用極限值,可根據經驗或實驗而決定適當的值。Further, the blade parameters shown in FIG. 6 are merely examples, and the type of the blade parameter to be set or the description format of the use history data D2 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6. Further, as the use limit value, an appropriate value can be determined based on experience or experiment.

或者,在本實施形態中,並非必須為劃線裝置100本身包含讀碼器140甚至包含代碼處理部124的形態。例如,劃線處理系統若係藉由經由未圖示的LAN(Local Area Network,區域網路)等通訊網路將複數個劃線裝置100與統一管理這些劃線裝置的共通的管理伺服器連接而 構成的情形,則亦可為將讀碼器140或代碼處理部124僅設置在該管理伺服器中,將解碼內容經由該網路從管理伺服器傳輸到各劃線裝置100中的形態。或者,原理上,亦可由劃線處理系統的操作人員(以下,簡稱為操作人員)經由輸入部123輸入解碼內容。Alternatively, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary that the scribing apparatus 100 itself includes the reader 140 and even the code processing unit 124. For example, the scribing processing system connects a plurality of scribing apparatuses 100 to a common management server that collectively manages these scribing apparatuses via a communication network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) (not shown). In the case of the configuration, the code reader 140 or the code processing unit 124 may be provided only in the management server, and the decoded content may be transmitted from the management server to each of the scribing devices 100 via the network. Alternatively, in principle, the operator of the scribing processing system (hereinafter simply referred to as an operator) may input the decoded content via the input unit 123.

另外,在劃線處理系統具有如上所述的網路構成之情形時,就製程配方資料保持部129或使用歷程保持部130來說,較佳的亦是設在管理伺服器中。在該情況下,製程配方資料D1、使用歷程資料D2、以及刀片不可使用資料在複數個劃線裝置100之間共享,且可由任一劃線裝置100參考或更新。Further, in the case where the scribing processing system has the network configuration as described above, it is preferable that the process recipe data holding unit 129 or the usage history holding unit 130 is also provided in the management server. In this case, the process recipe data D1, the usage history data D2, and the blade unusable material are shared among the plurality of scribing devices 100, and can be referred to or updated by any of the scribing devices 100.

(第2構成)(second structure)

圖7係表示第2構成之劃線裝置200之主要機械性構成要素的外觀立體圖。概略地來說,劃線裝置200係藉由使脆性材料基板P在分別包含旋轉刀片1的上下1對劃線頭30(上側劃線頭30A、下側劃線頭30B)之間移動,而從上下2個方向同時對脆性材料基板P進行劃線的裝置。另外,在圖7中,繪製有右手系的XYZ座標,其中,將脆性材料基板的移動方向設為Y軸方向、將水平面內的劃線頭30A、30B的移動方向設為X軸方向、將鉛垂方向設為Z軸方向。而且,在圖7中,為了簡化圖示,省略劃線頭30A、30B上分別包含的保持具接頭20、安裝在該保持具接頭20上的刀片保持具10、或保持在該刀片保持具10上的旋轉刀片1。Fig. 7 is an external perspective view showing main mechanical components of the scribing device 200 of the second configuration. Roughly speaking, the scribing device 200 moves the brittle material substrate P between the upper and lower pair of scribing heads 30 (the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B) including the rotary insert 1 respectively. A device for scribing the brittle material substrate P simultaneously from the upper and lower directions. In addition, in FIG. 7, the XYZ coordinates of the right-handed system are drawn, in which the moving direction of the brittle material substrate is set to the Y-axis direction, and the moving direction of the scribing heads 30A and 30B in the horizontal plane is set to the X-axis direction, and The vertical direction is set to the Z-axis direction. Further, in FIG. 7, in order to simplify the illustration, the holder joint 20 respectively included in the scribing heads 30A, 30B, the blade holder 10 mounted on the holder joint 20, or held in the blade holder 10 are omitted. Rotating blade 1 on.

該劃線裝置200中,作為其機械性構成要素,主要包括基板支撐機構210、夾緊機構220、及劃線機構230。而且,儘管在圖7中省略圖示,但在劃線裝置200的上部,設置有拍攝設置在脆性材料基板P的上表面(劃線面)上的定位用對準標記的2台CCD攝影機240a、240b(參照圖8)。The scribing device 200 mainly includes a substrate supporting mechanism 210, a clamping mechanism 220, and a scribing mechanism 230 as mechanical components thereof. Further, although not shown in FIG. 7, two CCD cameras 240a for locating positioning alignment marks provided on the upper surface (scribe surface) of the brittle material substrate P are provided on the upper portion of the scribing device 200. 240b (refer to Figure 8).

基板支撐機構210包含第1基板支撐部210A、及第2基板支撐部 210B。第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B是隔著劃線機構230而對向配置。第1基板支撐部210A負責劃線之前的脆性材料基板P的搬送,第2基板支撐部210B負責劃線之後的脆性材料基板P的搬送。The substrate supporting mechanism 210 includes a first substrate supporting portion 210A and a second substrate supporting portion. 210B. The first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B are disposed to face each other with the scribing mechanism 230 interposed therebetween. The first substrate supporting portion 210A is responsible for transporting the brittle material substrate P before scribing, and the second substrate supporting portion 210B is responsible for transporting the brittle material substrate P after scribing.

第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B分別係由沿著X軸方向相隔配置的複數個(在圖7中為5個)支撐單元211所構成。各支撐單元211在Y軸方向上具有長度方向,且沿著Y軸方向架設有正時皮帶212。正時皮帶212形成為如下構成:若在於其上表面支撐有脆性材料基板P的狀態下,對該脆性材料基板P施加Y軸方向的力,則正時皮帶212會從動於脆性材料基板P的活動而旋轉,從而可加速脆性材料基板P向Y軸方向的移動。Each of the first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B is composed of a plurality of (five in FIG. 7) supporting units 211 which are arranged along the X-axis direction. Each of the support units 211 has a longitudinal direction in the Y-axis direction, and a timing belt 212 is placed along the Y-axis direction. The timing belt 212 is configured such that when the brittle material substrate P is supported on the upper surface thereof, the force in the Y-axis direction is applied to the brittle material substrate P, and the timing belt 212 is driven by the brittle material substrate P. The movement is rotated to accelerate the movement of the brittle material substrate P in the Y-axis direction.

夾緊機構220是利用於X軸方向上相隔地配置的一對夾緊件221L、221R來夾緊(保持)載置在正時皮帶212之上的脆性材料基板P的後端部,並保持該夾緊狀態而使夾緊件221L、221R向Y軸方向移動的機構。夾緊機構220的移動動作係藉由線性馬達而實現的。另外,夾緊件221L、221R是以沿著Y軸方向移動時不會干涉支撐單元211的方式設置。The clamp mechanism 220 clamps (holds) the rear end portion of the brittle material substrate P placed on the timing belt 212 by a pair of clamps 221L, 221R arranged in the X-axis direction. In the clamped state, the clamps 221L and 221R are moved in the Y-axis direction. The movement of the clamping mechanism 220 is achieved by a linear motor. Further, the clamps 221L and 221R are provided so as not to interfere with the support unit 211 when moving in the Y-axis direction.

劃線機構230是對脆性材料基板P的上下雙面同時並列地進行劃線的部位。劃線機構230中,在Y軸方向上的第1基板支撐部210A與第2基板支撐部210B之間的位置上,包含上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B。上側劃線頭30A設置在上側劃線機構231上,下側劃線頭30B設置在下側劃線機構232上,且分別可通過省略圖示的線性馬達而沿著X軸方向自由移動。另外,在本實施形態中,使該線性馬達驅動時的上側劃線頭30A及下側劃線頭30B的移動速度成為對脆性材料基板P的上表面及下表面進行X軸方向的劃線時的劃線速度。The scribing mechanism 230 is a portion that scribing the upper and lower sides of the brittle material substrate P in parallel at the same time. In the scribing mechanism 230, the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B are included at positions between the first substrate supporting portion 210A and the second substrate supporting portion 210B in the Y-axis direction. The upper scribing head 30A is provided on the upper scribing mechanism 231, and the lower scribing head 30B is provided on the lower scribing mechanism 232, and is movable in the X-axis direction by a linear motor (not shown). In the present embodiment, when the moving speed of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B when the linear motor is driven is the scribing of the upper surface and the lower surface of the brittle material substrate P in the X-axis direction The speed of the line.

更詳細來說,上側劃線頭30A是以在安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下旋轉刀片1位於最下端部的方式,包含保持具接頭20。另一方面, 下側劃線頭30B是以在安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下旋轉刀片1位於最上端部的方式,包含保持具接頭20。而且,上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B分別包含可進行保持具接頭20的升降動作的升降部31A、31B。該升降部31A、31B係藉由例如伺服馬達、線性馬達、或使用氣壓控制的氣缸等而實現。More specifically, the upper scribing head 30A includes the holder joint 20 in such a manner that the rotary blade 1 is located at the lowermost end in a state in which the blade holder 10 is attached. on the other hand, The lower side scribing head 30B is a mode in which the rotary blade 1 is located at the uppermost end in a state in which the blade holder 10 is attached, and includes the holder joint 20. Further, each of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B includes elevating portions 31A and 31B that can perform the lifting operation of the holder joint 20, respectively. The lifting portions 31A and 31B are realized by, for example, a servo motor, a linear motor, or an air cylinder controlled by air pressure.

在具有如上構成之劃線裝置200中,若在藉由夾緊機構220夾緊載置在第1基板支撐部210A上的脆性材料基板P的後端部側的狀態下,使夾緊機構220沿著Y軸方向移動,則由第1基板支撐部210A的支撐單元211支撐的脆性材料基板P一面支撐在該支撐單元211上,一面通過該正時皮帶212的從動旋轉與夾緊機構220的移動而沿著Y軸方向搬送。途中,在脆性材料基板P通過上側劃線機構231與下側劃線機構232之間而得到劃線之後,脆性材料基板P從前端部側逐漸地支撐於第2基板支撐部210B的支撐單元211上。在第2基板支撐部210B,與第1基板支撐部210A相同,脆性材料基板P亦係藉由夾緊機構220的移動與支撐單元211中所含的正時皮帶212的從動旋轉而得到搬送。因此,在劃線裝置200中,基板支撐機構210與夾緊機構220作為脆性材料基板P的保持器件而發揮功能。In the scribing device 200 having the above configuration, the clamping mechanism 220 is brought into a state in which the rear end portion side of the brittle material substrate P placed on the first substrate supporting portion 210A is clamped by the clamping mechanism 220. When moving in the Y-axis direction, the brittle material substrate P supported by the support unit 211 of the first substrate supporting portion 210A is supported by the supporting unit 211 while passing through the driven rotation and clamping mechanism 220 of the timing belt 212. Moves and moves along the Y-axis. In the middle, when the brittle material substrate P is scribed by the upper scribe line mechanism 231 and the lower scribe line mechanism 232, the brittle material substrate P is gradually supported by the support unit 211 of the second substrate support portion 210B from the distal end portion side. on. In the second substrate supporting portion 210B, similarly to the first substrate supporting portion 210A, the brittle material substrate P is transported by the movement of the clamping mechanism 220 and the driven rotation of the timing belt 212 included in the supporting unit 211. . Therefore, in the scribing device 200, the substrate supporting mechanism 210 and the clamping mechanism 220 function as a holding device of the brittle material substrate P.

在該情況下,若預先調整上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B的Z軸方向位置,使分別安裝的刀片保持具10前端的旋轉刀片1與通過上側劃線機構231與下側劃線機構232之間的脆性材料基板P接觸,則旋轉刀片1分別於搬送途中的脆性材料基板P的上下表面上壓接轉動。藉此,可對脆性材料基板P的上下表面進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。在該情況下,藉由適當地將上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B的X軸方向上的配置位置改變,可在X軸方向的任意位置進行沿著Y軸方向的劃線。In this case, if the positions of the upper side scribing head 30A and the lower side scribing head 30B in the Z-axis direction are adjusted in advance, the rotating blades 1 at the tips of the respective blade holders 10 and the upper side scribing mechanism 231 and the lower side are drawn. When the brittle material substrate P is in contact with each other between the wire mechanisms 232, the rotary blades 1 are pressed and rotated on the upper and lower surfaces of the brittle material substrate P during transportation. Thereby, the upper and lower surfaces of the brittle material substrate P can be scribed along the Y-axis direction. In this case, by appropriately changing the arrangement position of the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B in the X-axis direction, the scribing along the Y-axis direction can be performed at any position in the X-axis direction.

而且,若在使脆性材料基板P位於上側劃線機構231與下側劃線 機構232之間的狀態下,一面使分別安裝在上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B上的刀片保持具10前端的旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸一面使上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B沿著X軸方向移動,藉此使旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P壓接轉動,則可對脆性材料基板P進行沿著x軸方向的劃線。Further, if the brittle material substrate P is placed on the upper side scribing mechanism 231 and the lower side is crossed In the state between the mechanisms 232, the rotating blade 1 at the tip end of the blade holder 10 attached to the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P, and the upper scribing head 30A is The lower scribing head 30B is moved in the X-axis direction, whereby the rotary blade 1 is pressed and rotated with respect to the brittle material substrate P, and the brittle material substrate P can be scribed along the x-axis direction.

另外,關於刀片保持具10相對於保持具接頭20的安裝形態,劃線裝置200與劃線裝置100相同,因此在劃線裝置200劃線時,主銷後傾穩定效應亦同樣地發揮作用。Further, since the scribing device 200 is the same as the scribing device 100 in the mounting form of the blade holder 10 with respect to the holder joint 20, the main pin backward tilting effect also functions in the same manner when the scribing device 200 is scribing.

<刀片參數之詳情><Details of blade parameters>

其次,對圖6中所例示之、表示旋轉刀片1的使用狀態的刀片參數,詳細地進行說明。Next, the blade parameters indicating the state of use of the rotary blade 1 illustrated in Fig. 6 will be described in detail.

(碰撞次數)(number of collisions)

在本實施形態中,旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數是指為了執行劃線而使包含旋轉刀片1的劃線頭30下降、使旋轉刀片1的刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的次數。於每次發生該接觸時,刃部2都會受到衝擊,因此,刃部2隨著重複接觸而磨耗。使用經磨耗的刃部2為使劃線品質劣化的主要因素。因此,在本實施形態中,將旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值,來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。In the present embodiment, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P means that the scribing head 30 including the rotary blade 1 is lowered to perform the scribing, and the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P. The number of times. When the contact occurs each time, the blade portion 2 is subjected to an impact, and therefore, the blade portion 2 is worn by repeated contact. The use of the worn blade portion 2 is a major factor in deteriorating the quality of the scribe line. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(外切)(external cut)

所謂外切,概略而言是指在以脆性材料基板P的上表面作為被劃線面之情形時,於較脆性材料基板P的邊緣部分更靠外側的位置,使旋轉刀片1下降至較脆性材料基板P的被劃線面的高度位置更略靠下方的劃線高度,而從脆性材料基板P的一端部劃線至另一端部的方法。圖9係表示外切的狀況的概略圖。在圖9所示之情形時,例示有如下情形:在X軸方向上與脆性材料基板P相隔距離OH1的近前位置使旋轉刀片1下降至較脆性材料基板P的被劃線面更靠下方的劃線高度,而進 行外切直至同樣地在X軸方向上與脆性材料基板P相隔距離OH2的前方之位置。The outer cut is generally referred to as a position where the upper surface of the brittle material substrate P is a scribed surface, and the rotary blade 1 is lowered to a brittle position at a position outside the edge portion of the brittle material substrate P. A method in which the height position of the scribed surface of the material substrate P is slightly lower than the scribe line height, and the one end portion of the brittle material substrate P is scribed to the other end portion. Fig. 9 is a schematic view showing a state of circumscribing. In the case shown in FIG. 9, the case where the distance OH1 is spaced apart from the brittle material substrate P in the X-axis direction is such that the rotary blade 1 is lowered to the lower side of the scribed surface of the brittle material substrate P. Dash height, and advance The circumcision is performed until the brittle material substrate P is spaced apart from the front side of the OH2 in the X-axis direction.

另外,相對於該外切,將在脆性材料基板P所在的位置上使旋轉刀片1下降而進行劃線的方法稱為內切。Further, with respect to the outer cutting, a method of lowering the rotary blade 1 at the position where the brittle material substrate P is located and performing scribing is referred to as inscribed.

外切由於其劃線達到基板的兩端,故而劃線後的切斷(break)容易,且具有不會發生在內切之情形時成為問題之、旋轉刀片1在劃線開始位置打滑的優點。但是,與內切的情況相比,旋轉刀片1易於消耗,因此外切的次數越多,旋轉刀片1越易達到使用極限。對此,在本實施形態中,將外切的次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值,來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。Since the scribe line reaches both ends of the substrate, the break after the scribe line is easy, and there is an advantage that the rotary blade 1 slips at the start position of the scribe line when the inner cut does not occur. . However, the rotary blade 1 is apt to be consumed as compared with the case of the inner cut, so that the more the number of circumcisions, the more easily the rotary blade 1 reaches the use limit. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of circumcisions is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(旋轉刀片的扭轉)(twist of the rotating blade)

繼而,在對旋轉刀片1的扭轉的說明中,首先,對劃線時發生的主銷後傾穩定效應進行說明。如上所述,保持具接頭20繞旋轉軸AX1自由旋轉,不具備直接調整旋轉刀片1的姿勢之機構。因此,當開始劃線時,旋轉刀片1的刃部2並不一定朝向劃線方向。然而,另一方面,在於保持具接頭20上安裝有刀片保持具10的狀態下,旋轉刀片1的銷15的水平位置與作為軸承21a、21b的旋轉中心之旋轉軸AX1的水平位置錯開。因此,若在旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下劃線頭30在水平面內沿著某一方向開始相對移動,則在保持具接頭20上轉矩會立刻發揮作用,旋轉刀片1在與劃線頭30的相對移動方向平行的狀態下相對於脆性材料基板P而壓接轉動。將該現象稱為主銷後傾穩定效應。Next, in the description of the twist of the rotary blade 1, first, the kingpin backward tilting effect which occurs at the time of scribing will be described. As described above, the holder joint 20 is freely rotatable about the rotation axis AX1, and does not have a mechanism for directly adjusting the posture of the rotary blade 1. Therefore, when the scribing is started, the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 does not necessarily face the scribing direction. On the other hand, in the state in which the blade holder 10 is attached to the holder joint 20, the horizontal position of the pin 15 of the rotary blade 1 is shifted from the horizontal position of the rotation axis AX1 which is the rotation center of the bearings 21a, 21b. Therefore, if the scribing head 30 starts to move in a certain direction in a horizontal plane in a state where the rotary blade 1 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P, the torque acts on the holder joint 20 at once, and the rotary blade 1 is in the same direction. The relative movement direction of the yarn ends 30 is pressed against the brittle material substrate P in a state where the relative movement directions are parallel. This phenomenon is called the kingpin backward tilting effect.

然而,當發生該主銷後傾穩定效應時,旋轉刀片1會於該刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下強制性地變更其姿勢。在本實施形態中,將隨著該主銷後傾穩定效應的出現而於旋轉刀片1上發生的強制性的姿勢變更稱為旋轉刀片1的「扭轉」。However, when the king pin back tilting effect occurs, the rotary blade 1 forcibly changes its posture in a state where the blade portion 2 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P. In the present embodiment, the forced posture change occurring on the rotary blade 1 in response to the occurrence of the caster stabilizing effect is referred to as "twisting" of the rotary blade 1.

圖10係對旋轉刀片之扭轉進行例示的圖。在圖10中,表示有如下情況:於通過使劃線頭30沿著X軸方向相對移動,而對脆性材料基板P向箭頭AR1所示的X軸方向進行複數次劃線之後,使旋轉刀片1暫時從脆性材料基板P離開,繼而,在使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的下一劃線開始位置接觸後,使劃線頭30沿著Y軸方向相對移動,藉此向箭頭AR2所示的Y軸方向進行劃線。在該情況下,處於已結束第1劃線的狀態的旋轉刀片1保持沿著大致X軸方向的姿勢而被供給至下一個Y軸方向上的劃線。因此,若使該旋轉刀片1再次與脆性材料基板P接觸而開始向Y軸方向的劃線,則如圖10的圓內所示,暫時向極略微地Y軸不同的方向進行劃線,不久,隨著劃線頭30的相對移動而使旋轉刀片1發生扭轉,使得旋轉刀片1形成與Y軸方向平行的姿勢,因此,結果可實現所期望的向Y軸方向的劃線。Fig. 10 is a view showing an example of twisting of a rotary blade. In FIG. 10, the sliding blade 30 is moved in the X-axis direction, and the brittle material substrate P is subjected to a plurality of times of scribing in the X-axis direction indicated by the arrow AR1. 1 temporarily exits from the brittle material substrate P, and then, after the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the next scribe start position of the brittle material substrate P, the scribe head 30 is relatively moved in the Y-axis direction, thereby being directed to the arrow AR2. The indicated Y-axis direction is scribed. In this case, the rotary blade 1 in the state in which the first scribe line has been completed is supplied to the scribe line in the next Y-axis direction while maintaining the posture in the substantially X-axis direction. Therefore, when the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P again to start the scribe line in the Y-axis direction, as shown in the circle of FIG. 10, the scribe line is temporarily slanted in a direction slightly different from the Y-axis. The rotary blade 1 is twisted with the relative movement of the scribing head 30, so that the rotary blade 1 is formed in a posture parallel to the Y-axis direction, and as a result, a desired scribing in the Y-axis direction can be realized.

該旋轉刀片1的扭轉是使旋轉刀片1的刃部2磨耗的因素之一,因此,若重複該扭轉則旋轉刀片1的劃線的品質會劣化。因此,在本實施形態中,將該扭轉發生的次數設定為刀片參數,並基於其累計值來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。The twist of the rotary blade 1 is one of the factors that cause the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 to wear. Therefore, if the twist is repeated, the quality of the scribe line of the rotary blade 1 is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of occurrences of the twist is set as the blade parameter, and based on the integrated value, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

(移行距離)(transition distance)

所謂旋轉刀片1的移行距離,是指在旋轉刀片1的刃部2與脆性材料基板P接觸的狀態下旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P相對移動的距離。因為劃線係藉由使刃部2相對於脆性材料基板P壓接轉動而實現的,故而可知若旋轉刀片1的移行距離較長,則刃部2會有磨耗,而導致劃線品質劣化。因此,在本實施形態中,將旋轉刀片1的移行距離設定為刀片參數,並基於刀片參數之累計值來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到使用極限。The travel distance of the rotary blade 1 is a distance in which the rotary blade 1 relatively moves with respect to the brittle material substrate P in a state where the blade portion 2 of the rotary blade 1 is in contact with the brittle material substrate P. Since the scribing is achieved by pressing and rotating the blade portion 2 with respect to the brittle material substrate P, it is understood that when the traveling distance of the rotary blade 1 is long, the blade portion 2 is worn and the scribing quality is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 is set as the blade parameter, and it is judged based on the integrated value of the blade parameters whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the use limit.

另外,在圖6中,將X軸方向的移行距離、Y軸方向的移行距離、及這些距離的累加值亦即總移行距離作為不同的刀片參數進行處理, 這種情況是對應於應著眼的移行距離會根據劃線時設定的製程配方的內容而有所不同。In addition, in FIG. 6, the travel distance in the X-axis direction, the travel distance in the Y-axis direction, and the accumulated value of these distances, that is, the total travel distance are treated as different blade parameters. In this case, the travel distance corresponding to the eye-catching distance will vary depending on the content of the process recipe set at the time of scribing.

作為一例,考慮按照在X軸方向上的第1劃線結束後,不使脆性材料基板P旋轉而進行Y軸方向上的第2劃線這一設定的製程配方進行的情況。在此情況下,當進行第2劃線時,旋轉刀片1橫切之前通過第1劃線所形成的劃線,故而與不進行這種橫切的情況相比,旋轉刀片1容易受到衝擊。在此情況下,通過預先將關於Y軸方向的移行距離的建議更換值V1設定得短在關於X軸方向的移行距離的建議更換值V1,而可更確實地抑制因Y軸方向的劃線品質劣化所致的劃線不良的產生。As an example, a process recipe in which the setting of the second scribe line in the Y-axis direction is performed without rotating the brittle material substrate P after completion of the first scribe line in the X-axis direction is considered. In this case, when the second scribing line is performed, the rotary blade 1 crosses the scribe line formed by the first scribe line before, so that the rotary blade 1 is more likely to be subjected to impact than when the cross traverse is not performed. In this case, by setting the recommended replacement value V1 regarding the travel distance in the Y-axis direction in advance to the recommended replacement value V1 of the travel distance with respect to the X-axis direction, the scribe line due to the Y-axis direction can be more reliably suppressed. The occurrence of poor scribe line due to deterioration in quality.

<基於建議更換值的旋轉刀片的更換><Replacement of rotary blade based on recommended replacement value>

如上所述,在本實施形態中,建議更換值V1記載於製程配方資料D1內。所謂建議更換值V1,概略性地來說,是指針對每個刀片參數而設定的成為建議更換旋轉刀片1時的基準的值。換句話來說,所謂建議更換值V1,是指如下的標準值:若不更換旋轉刀片1而持續基於該製程配方進行劃線處理,則產生劃線不良的可能性變高,故而就防止產生劃線不良的觀點來說最好進行更換。因此,通常,設定為:即使在刀片參數超過所述值的狀態下持續使用旋轉刀片1,旋轉刀片1亦不會立刻達到使用壽命。另外,關於建議更換值V1,亦與使用極限值同樣地,可憑經驗或實驗決定適當的值。而且,在下文中,將滿足建議更換的基準的旋轉刀片1的情況稱為處於建議更換狀態。As described above, in the present embodiment, the recommended replacement value V1 is described in the process recipe data D1. The recommended replacement value V1 is, in a nutshell, a value set for each blade parameter to be a reference for recommending replacement of the rotary blade 1. In other words, the recommended replacement value V1 refers to a standard value: if the scribing process is continued based on the process recipe without replacing the rotary blade 1, the possibility of occurrence of a scribe defect becomes high, so that it is prevented. It is best to replace it with a view that the scribe line is bad. Therefore, generally, it is set such that even if the rotary blade 1 is continuously used in a state where the blade parameter exceeds the value, the rotary blade 1 does not reach the service life immediately. In addition, as for the recommended replacement value V1, an appropriate value can be determined empirically or experimentally, similarly to the use limit value. Moreover, hereinafter, the case of the rotary blade 1 that satisfies the reference of the recommended replacement is referred to as being in the recommended replacement state.

在本實施形態中,基於針對每個製程配方而決定的建議更換值V1、及各旋轉刀片1所固有的使用歷程資料D2來判斷進行劃線時之旋轉刀片1能否使用(是否需要更換),藉此,可確實地防止脆性材料基板P的劃線處理時產生不良,從而可提高良率。In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 can be used for scribing (whether or not it is necessary to be replaced) based on the recommended replacement value V1 determined for each process recipe and the use history data D2 unique to each rotary blade 1. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent occurrence of defects in the scribing treatment of the brittle material substrate P, and it is possible to improve the yield.

即使全部稱為劃線處理,但根據製程配方的設定內容不同旋轉 刀片1的使用方法亦完全不同。例如,重複進行僅朝向一個方向的劃線的劃線處理、或劃線頭30的升降較多而移行距離較短的劃線處理、或重複進行扭轉的劃線處理等通過改變製程配方設定而進行各種各樣的劃線處理,根據各劃線處理,旋轉刀片1的磨耗模式亦不同。這就意味著,若製程配方的設定內容不同,則在產生劃線不良之前的各刀片參數的累計方法、或在不產生劃線不良之情形時可使用的旋轉刀片1的刀片參數之累計值的上限會不同。在本實施形態中,著眼於這點,通過針對各製程配方資料D1而設定關於各刀片參數的建議更換值V1,而以最適於各製程配方的基準來判斷有無可使用的旋轉刀片。Even if it is called the scribing process, it is rotated according to the setting contents of the process recipe. The method of using the blade 1 is also completely different. For example, the scribing process in which the scribing is performed in only one direction, or the scribing process in which the scribing head 30 is frequently moved up and down, the scribing process in which the moving distance is short, or the scribing process in which the twisting is repeated is performed by changing the process recipe setting. Various kinds of scribing processes are performed, and the wear mode of the rotary blade 1 differs according to each scribing process. This means that if the setting contents of the process recipe are different, the cumulative value of the blade parameters before the occurrence of the scribe defect or the cumulative value of the blade parameters of the rotary blade 1 that can be used in the case where the scribe defect is not generated is obtained. The upper limit will be different. In the present embodiment, in view of this point, by setting the recommended replacement value V1 for each blade parameter for each process recipe data D1, it is determined whether or not there is a usable rotary blade based on the criterion most suitable for each process recipe.

例如,在劃線頭30的升降較多的製程配方下,容易因旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞而使刃部2產生磨耗,故而藉由將刀片參數中的、關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數的建議更換值V1設定得較低,而可確實地防止產生劃線不良。For example, under the process recipe in which the scribing head 30 is lifted and lowered a lot, the blade portion 2 is easily worn by the collision of the rotating blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P, so that the blade 1 is related to the rotating blade 1 The recommended replacement value V1 of the number of collisions of the brittle material substrate P is set low, and it is possible to surely prevent generation of a scribe defect.

另一方面,即使為刀片參數累計為已到達根據某製程配方資料D1中記載的建議更換值V1而建議更換的值的旋轉刀片1,在該累計值小於其他製程配方資料D1中記載的建議更換值V1之情形時,亦可以用於基於該製程配方資料D1的製程配方下的劃線。藉此,能夠在可使用的範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片1。On the other hand, even if the blade parameter is accumulated as the rotary blade 1 that has reached the value recommended to be replaced according to the recommended replacement value V1 described in the certain process recipe data D1, the cumulative value is smaller than the recommended replacement described in the other process recipe data D1. In the case of the value V1, it can also be used for scribing under the process recipe of the process recipe data D1. Thereby, the rotary blade 1 can be effectively used within the usable range.

另外,只要基於建議更換值V1來更換旋轉刀片1,則除了將使用極限值與建議更換值V1設定為相同的值的情況以外,刀片參數應不會達到使用極限值。因此,雖看上去亦會認為無需設定使用極限值,但實際上亦會有硬要使用超過建議更換值V1的旋轉刀片1的情況,或有誤使用已達到使用壽命的旋轉刀片1的可能性,故而,就防止這種情況下的劃線不良這一點來說,設定使用極限值是有效的。In addition, as long as the rotary blade 1 is replaced based on the recommended replacement value V1, the blade parameter should not reach the use limit value except for the case where the use limit value and the recommended replacement value V1 are set to the same value. Therefore, although it seems that there is no need to set the use limit value, there is actually a case where the rotary blade 1 exceeding the recommended replacement value V1 is hard to be used, or the possibility of using the rotary blade 1 that has reached the service life is misused. Therefore, it is effective to set the use limit value in order to prevent the scribe line defect in this case.

<劃線處理><Line processing>

接下來,對在具有所述構成的劃線處理系統中進行劃線之情形 時的處理流程進行說明。另外,在下文的說明中,將作為擔負實際的劃線動作的機械構成要素的劃線裝置100及200亦稱為「裝置主體」。而且,為了方便起見,下文的說明是以利用劃線裝置100及200的劃線為前提而進行的,該說明亦可以適合於具有相同構成的其他劃線裝置。Next, the case of scribing in the scribing processing system having the above configuration The processing flow at the time is explained. In addition, in the following description, the scribing apparatuses 100 and 200 which are mechanical components which carry out the actual scribing operation are also called "device main body". Moreover, for the sake of convenience, the following description is based on the assumption that the scribing devices 100 and 200 are scribing, and the description can also be applied to other scribing devices having the same configuration.

圖11及圖12係表示在劃線裝置100或200上安裝刀片保持具10之後至完成劃線處理為止的處理流程的圖。FIGS. 11 and 12 are views showing a flow of processing up to the completion of the scribing process after the blade holder 10 is mounted on the scribing device 100 or 200.

首先,準備保持旋轉刀片1的刀片保持具10(步驟S1)。另外,在通過預先選擇、設定劃線中所使用的製程配方(步驟S0),而使之後欲進行的劃線內容為已知之情形時,較佳為準備具備適於該劃線的型式的旋轉刀片1的刀片保持具10。於劃線裝置200之情形時,因具有上側劃線頭30A與下側劃線頭30B兩者,故而準備2個刀片保持具10。另外,在下文中只要無特別說明,則就劃線裝置200而言,在由至少其中一個刀片保持具10保持的旋轉刀片1威不可使用或成為建議更換的對象之情形時,進行與該情況相應的處理。First, the blade holder 10 of the rotary blade 1 is prepared to be held (step S1). In addition, when the process recipe to be used in the scribing is selected and set in advance (step S0), and the content of the scribing to be performed later is known, it is preferable to prepare a rotation having a pattern suitable for the scribing. The blade holder 10 of the blade 1 is. In the case of the scribing device 200, since both the upper scribing head 30A and the lower scribing head 30B are provided, two blade holders 10 are prepared. In addition, hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, in the case of the scribing device 200, when the rotary blade 1 held by at least one of the blade holders 10 is unusable or becomes the object of the recommended replacement, the case corresponds to the case. Processing.

接下來,利用代碼讀取器140或270來讀取標印於所準備的刀片保持具10的平坦部11a的代碼14(步驟S2)。所讀取的代碼14在代碼處理部124或254中立刻被解碼成文本資訊(步驟S3)。從代碼14解碼所得的型式、管理編號、初始修正資訊等文本資訊被提供給控制部121或251。Next, the code 14 stamped on the flat portion 11a of the prepared blade holder 10 is read by the code reader 140 or 270 (step S2). The read code 14 is immediately decoded into text information in the code processing section 124 or 254 (step S3). Text information such as a pattern, a management number, and initial correction information decoded from the code 14 is supplied to the control unit 121 or 251.

繼而,控制部121或251基於從代碼14解碼出的管理編號,而從使用歷程保持部130或260中讀出附有該管理編號的旋轉刀片1的使用歷程資料D2(步驟S4),根據該使用歷程資料D2中的記載內容來判斷該旋轉刀片1是否為尚未到達使用極限的可使用之旋轉刀片(步驟S5)。具體來說,在使用歷程資料D2中不存在極限標誌記載為「1」的刀片參數之情形時,判為可使用(在步驟S5中為是)。另一方面,在使 用歷程資料D2中極限標誌記載為「1」的刀片參數即使存在1個之情形時,亦判斷為不可使用(在步驟S5中為否)。另外,在已產生不可使用的刀片資料之情形時,亦可以通過參照這些資料來判斷旋轉刀片1是否為尚未到達使用極限的可使用之旋轉刀片。Then, the control unit 121 or 251 reads out the use history data D2 of the rotary blade 1 with the management number from the use history holding unit 130 or 260 based on the management number decoded from the code 14 (step S4), according to the The content of the history data D2 is used to determine whether or not the rotary blade 1 is a usable rotary blade that has not reached the use limit (step S5). Specifically, when there is no blade parameter in which the limit flag is "1" in the use history data D2, it is judged to be usable (YES in step S5). On the other hand, When there is one blade parameter in which the limit flag is "1" in the history data D2, it is judged that it is not usable (NO in step S5). In addition, when the unusable blade data has been generated, it can also be judged by referring to the data whether or not the rotary blade 1 is a usable rotary blade that has not reached the use limit.

在判斷旋轉刀片1為不可使用者的情況(在步驟S5中為否)下,控制部121或251使監視器128或258顯示即將要使用的已讀取代碼14的旋轉刀片1為不可使用的警告顯示,並且發出禁止使用該旋轉刀片1執行劃線動作(鎖定劃線動作)的信號(步驟S6)。藉此,於劃線裝置100或200中,告知該旋轉刀片1為不可使用,且無法使用該旋轉刀片1進行劃線,故而,可確實地防止例如因誤使用了已到達使用壽命的旋轉刀片1而導致產生劃線不良等。In the case where it is judged that the rotary blade 1 is unuserable (NO in step S5), the control section 121 or 251 causes the monitor 128 or 258 to display that the rotary blade 1 of the read code 14 to be used is unusable. The warning is displayed, and a signal for prohibiting the use of the rotary blade 1 to perform the scribing action (lock scribing action) is issued (step S6). Thereby, in the scribing device 100 or 200, the rotary blade 1 is notified that it is unusable, and the rotary blade 1 cannot be used for scribing, so that it is possible to surely prevent, for example, the use of the rotating blade that has reached the end of its life due to the erroneous use. 1 causes a poor scribe line and the like.

在已進行不可使用之警告顯示之情形時,操作人員在保持該旋轉刀片1的刀片保持具10已安裝在保持具接頭20時,將該刀片保持具10卸除,在已卸除之情形時確認該刀片保持具10的狀態後(步驟S7),準備另一個刀片保持具10(步驟S8)。而且,對新準備的刀片保持具10再次進行代碼14的讀取(步驟S2)。另外,通過進行該代碼14的再讀取,而解除劃線裝置100或200的劃線動作的禁止狀態。When the warning display of the unusable warning has been performed, the operator removes the blade holder 10 while the blade holder 10 holding the rotary blade 1 has been mounted on the holder joint 20, in the case of being removed After confirming the state of the blade holder 10 (step S7), another blade holder 10 is prepared (step S8). Further, the newly prepared blade holder 10 is again read by the code 14 (step S2). Further, by performing the re-reading of the code 14, the prohibition state of the scribing operation of the scribing device 100 or 200 is released.

在判斷所準備的旋轉刀片1為可使用者之情形時(在步驟S5中為是),繼而,操作人員根據監視器128或258中所顯示的選單進行操作,藉此,從製程配方資料保持部129或259中選擇適用於劃線的一個製程配方資料D1,進而,輸入所要處理的脆性材料基板P的塊數等所需的資訊。藉此,設定劃線所需的製程配方(步驟S9)。另外,如上所述,亦有在準備刀片保持具10之前預先選擇、設定製程配方之情形。When it is judged that the prepared rotary blade 1 is a user-possible (YES in step S5), the operator then operates according to the menu displayed in the monitor 128 or 258, thereby maintaining from the recipe recipe data. In the section 129 or 259, a process recipe data D1 suitable for scribing is selected, and further, information required for the number of blocks of the brittle material substrate P to be processed and the like is input. Thereby, the process recipe required for the scribing is set (step S9). Further, as described above, there is also a case where the process recipe is previously selected and set before the blade holder 10 is prepared.

若設定製程配方,則控制部121或251將從代碼14解碼的型式、與製程配方資料D1中所記載的在通過執行該製程配方而進行的劃線中可使用的旋轉刀片1的型式進行對照,而判斷所準備的旋轉刀片1是 否適於執行該製程配方(步驟S10)。When the process recipe is set, the control unit 121 or 251 compares the pattern decoded from the code 14 with the type of the rotary blade 1 usable in the scribe line performed by executing the process recipe described in the process recipe data D1. And judge that the prepared rotary blade 1 is Whether it is suitable to execute the process recipe (step S10).

在判斷為旋轉刀片1不適於執行所設定的製程配方之情形時(在步驟S10中為否),與所述情況同樣地,使監視器128或258顯示該旋轉刀片1不可使用的警告顯示,並且發出禁止使用該旋轉刀片1執行劃線動作(鎖定劃線動作)的信號(步驟S6)。藉此,於劃線裝置100或200中,告知該旋轉刀片1係不可使用,且無法使用該旋轉刀片1進行劃線,故而,可確實地防止例如因誤使用不適於基於所設定的製程配方進行劃線的旋轉刀片1而導致的劃線不良等的產生。另外,在此情況下,被判斷為不可使用的旋轉刀片1僅無法使用於基於所設定的製程配方的劃線中,並非為已到達使用壽命的不可使用品。因此,亦有在設定另一個製程配方之情形時可使用的情況。When it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is not suitable for executing the set process recipe (NO in step S10), as in the case described above, the monitor 128 or 258 is caused to display a warning display that the rotary blade 1 is not usable. Further, a signal for prohibiting the use of the rotary blade 1 to perform the scribing operation (lock scribing operation) is issued (step S6). Accordingly, in the scribing device 100 or 200, the rotary blade 1 is notified that the rotary blade 1 is unusable, and the rotary blade 1 cannot be used for scribing. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent, for example, misuse of the process recipe based on the set process recipe. The occurrence of a scribe defect or the like caused by the scribing of the rotary blade 1 is performed. Further, in this case, the rotary blade 1 judged to be unusable cannot be used only in the scribe line based on the set process recipe, and is not an unusable item that has reached the end of its service life. Therefore, there are cases where it can be used when setting another process recipe.

如上所述,在判斷為旋轉刀片1不適於執行所設定的製程配方之情形時,亦仍必需準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。As described above, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is not suitable for executing the set process recipe, it is still necessary to prepare another blade holder and re-read the code (steps S7, S8, S2).

另一方面,在判斷為旋轉刀片1適於執行所設定的製程配方之情形時(在步驟S10中為是),控制部121或251進行如下運算處理,即,根據製程配方的設定內容,而運算出將基於該製程配方的劃線進行到最後為止時的各刀片參數的增加值,此外,將該增加值與使用歷程資料D2中所記載的各刀片參數之累計值相加(步驟S11)。由此獲得的值成為劃線結束後可能到達的刀片參數之累計值(稱為預計到達值)。On the other hand, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 is suitable for executing the set process recipe (YES in step S10), the control unit 121 or 251 performs the following arithmetic processing, that is, according to the setting contents of the process recipe, The added value of each blade parameter when the scribing based on the process recipe is performed until the end is calculated, and the added value is added to the integrated value of each blade parameter described in the use history data D2 (step S11) . The value thus obtained becomes the cumulative value of the blade parameters that may be reached after the end of the scribe line (referred to as the estimated arrival value).

而且,控制部121或251將該預計到達值、與製程配方資料D1中所記載的建議更換值V1進行比較,而判斷作為使用對象的旋轉刀片1在劃線處理中是否達到建議更換狀態(步驟S12)。Further, the control unit 121 or 251 compares the estimated arrival value with the recommended replacement value V1 described in the process recipe data D1, and determines whether the rotary blade 1 to be used has reached the recommended replacement state in the scribing process (step S12).

更詳細來說,就基於製程配方進行劃線而言,換句話來說,是指可根據製程配方的設定內容來特定出該劃線的具體動作內容,也就是使劃線頭30下降而使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸的次數、或旋 轉刀片1的移行距離等。亦即,藉由解析製程配方之記載內容,即使實際上不進行劃線亦可以算出根據該製程配方進行劃線時的各刀片參數的增加值。若獲得該增加值,則如上所述,在實際上進行劃線之前可以求出劃線處理後的各刀片參數的預計到達值。More specifically, in terms of scribing based on the process recipe, in other words, the specific action content of the scribing can be specified according to the setting content of the process recipe, that is, the scribing head 30 is lowered. The number of times the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P, or the number of times The travel distance of the rotary blade 1 and the like. That is, by analyzing the contents of the process recipe, even if the scribing is not actually performed, the added value of each blade parameter when scribing according to the process recipe can be calculated. When the added value is obtained, as described above, the estimated arrival value of each blade parameter after the scribing process can be obtained before the scribing is actually performed.

圖13係用以對基於製程配方算出刀片參數的增加值的方式進行說明的圖。例如,如圖13所示,考慮設定如下製程配方的情況:對100塊脆性材料基板P進行在X軸方向對X1~X6的6個部位(移行距離L1)以內切進行劃線後,在Y軸方向上亦對Y1~Y6的6個部位(移行距離L2)以內切進行劃線這一處理。Fig. 13 is a view for explaining a manner of calculating an added value of a blade parameter based on a process recipe. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, it is considered that the following process recipes are set: six pieces of brittle material substrate P are subjected to end-cutting in six directions (transition distance L1) of X1 to X6 in the X-axis direction, and then in Y. In the axial direction, six portions of Y1 to Y6 (transition distance L2) are also subjected to scribing by inscribed.

在此情況下,因為針對100塊脆性材料基板P各有12次的碰撞,故而旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數為1200次;因為全部為內切,故而外切的次數為0次;因為僅於在X6的劃線後進行Y1的劃線時、及在Y6的劃線結束後對下一塊脆性材料基板P進行X1的劃線時才會產生扭轉,故而扭轉的次數為200次;X軸移行距離成為600L1(m),Y軸移行距離成為600L2(m),總移行距離成為600(L1+L2)(m)。In this case, since there are 12 collisions for each of the 100 brittle material substrates P, the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P is 1200 times; since all are inscribed, the number of circumcisions is 0 times. Since the torsion is generated only when the scribe line of Y1 is performed after the scribe line of X6 and the scribe line of the next brittle material substrate P after the scribe line of Y6 is completed, the number of twists is 200 times. The X-axis travel distance becomes 600L1 (m), the Y-axis travel distance becomes 600L2 (m), and the total travel distance becomes 600 (L1 + L2) (m).

在此情況下,假設在預計到達值的運算中應用圖6所示的使用歷程資料D2中所記載的累計值,則在判斷旋轉刀片1是否達到建議更換狀態時,關於各刀片參數,對以下的2個數值進行比較。In this case, if the cumulative value described in the use history data D2 shown in FIG. 6 is applied to the calculation of the estimated arrival value, when it is determined whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the recommended replacement state, the following parameters are determined for each blade parameter. The two values are compared.

旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數:預計到達值=a1 +...+an +1200,建議更換值V1=V1a;外切的次數:預計到達值=b1 +...+bn ,建議更換值V1=V1b;扭轉的次數:預計到達值=c1 +...+cn +200,建議更換值V1=V1c;X軸方向移行距離: 預計到達值=d1 +...+dn +600L1,建議更換值V1=V1d;Y軸方向移行距離:預計到達值=e1 +...+en +600L2,建議更換值V1=V1e;總移行距離:預計到達值=(d1 +e1 )...+(dn +en )+600(L1+L2),建議更換值V1=V1f。Number of collisions between the rotating blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P: estimated arrival value = a 1 + ... + a n + 1200, recommended replacement value V1 = V1a; number of circumcisions: estimated arrival value = b 1 +... +b n , recommended replacement value V1=V1b; number of twists: expected arrival value = c 1 +...+c n +200, recommended replacement value V1=V1c; X-axis direction travel distance: estimated arrival value = d 1 +...+d n +600L1, recommended replacement value V1=V1d; Y-axis direction travel distance: estimated arrival value = e 1 +...+e n +600L2, recommended replacement value V1=V1e; total travel distance: The expected arrival value = (d 1 + e 1 ) ... + (d n + e n ) + 600 (L1 + L2), it is recommended to replace the value V1 = V1f.

比較的結果為,即使在預計到達值大於建議更換值V1的刀片參數僅存在1個之情形時,控制部121或251亦判斷為作為使用對象的旋轉刀片1在劃線處理中達到建議更換狀態(在步驟S12中為是),使監視器128或258顯示建議更換已讀取代碼14的旋轉刀片1的顯示(建議更換顯示)(步驟S13)。藉此,告知該旋轉刀片1處於建議更換狀態。As a result of the comparison, even if there is only one blade parameter whose estimated arrival value is larger than the recommended replacement value V1, the control unit 121 or 251 determines that the rotary blade 1 as the object of use has reached the recommended replacement state in the scribing process. (YES in step S12), the monitor 128 or 258 is caused to display the display of the rotary blade 1 suggesting replacement of the read code 14 (recommended replacement display) (step S13). Thereby, the rotary blade 1 is informed that it is in the recommended replacement state.

在已進行建議更換顯示之情形時,操作人員通常判斷為必需更換旋轉刀片1(在步驟S14中為是),準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。藉此,可確實地避免產生劃線不良。When the recommended replacement display has been made, the operator usually judges that it is necessary to replace the rotary blade 1 (YES in step S14), prepare another blade holder and re-read the code (steps S7, S8, S2). Thereby, it is possible to surely avoid occurrence of scribing defects.

另一方面,在判斷為作為使用對象的旋轉刀片1在劃線處理中未達到建議更換狀態之情形時(在步驟S12中為否),將保持該旋轉刀片1的刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上(步驟S15)。另外,在該刀片保持具10已安裝在保持具接頭20上之情形時,對該情況進行確認。On the other hand, when it is determined that the rotary blade 1 as the object of use does not reach the recommended replacement state in the scribing process (NO in step S12), the blade holder 10 holding the rotary blade 1 is mounted on the hold. The connector 20 is provided (step S15). In addition, this case is confirmed when the blade holder 10 has been mounted on the holder joint 20.

而且,亦有儘管已進行建議更換顯示但根據操作人員的判斷並未進行更換的情況(在步驟S14中為否),在此情況下,亦將刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭上。例如,如上所述經運算而得的累計值僅略大於建議更換值V1,判斷為產生劃線不良的可能性較低的情況等就屬於所述情況。Further, there is a case where the replacement display is performed but the replacement is not performed according to the judgment of the operator (NO in step S14), and in this case, the blade holder 10 is also attached to the holder joint. For example, the cumulative value obtained by the above calculation is only slightly larger than the recommended replacement value V1, and it is determined that the possibility that the scribe line defect is low is low.

若將刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上,則在進行省略了細節的公知的對準處理或初始處理之後,控制部121或251發出指示基於所設定的製程配方執行劃線處理的信號(步驟S16)。劃線裝置100或 200響應該執行指示信號,開始基於製程配方進行劃線(步驟S17)。If the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20, the control unit 121 or 251 issues a signal indicating that the scribing process is performed based on the set process recipe after the well-known alignment process or initial processing in which the details are omitted. (Step S16). Scribe device 100 or In response to the execution instruction signal, the 200 starts to perform scribing based on the process recipe (step S17).

具體來說,在劃線裝置100之情形時,搬送機構驅動部125、旋轉機構驅動部126、及劃線頭驅動部127根據製程配方之記載內容而使各自對應的移動台101的搬送用馬達104、旋轉機構105、及線性馬達112與升降部31運行,藉此實現基於製程配方的一系列的劃線動作。在劃線裝置200之情形時,夾緊機構驅動部255、第1劃線頭驅動部256、及第2劃線頭驅動部257根據製程配方之記載內容而使各自對應的夾緊機構220、上側劃線機構231、及下側劃線機構232運行,藉此實現基於製程配方的一系列的劃線動作。Specifically, in the case of the scribing apparatus 100, the transport mechanism drive unit 125, the rotation mechanism drive unit 126, and the scribing head drive unit 127 transfer the respective transport motors of the mobile station 101 in accordance with the contents of the process recipe. 104. The rotating mechanism 105 and the linear motor 112 operate with the lifting portion 31, thereby implementing a series of scribing operations based on the process recipe. In the case of the scribing device 200, the clamp mechanism drive unit 255, the first scribing head drive unit 256, and the second scribing head drive unit 257 each have a corresponding clamping mechanism 220 according to the description of the process recipe. The upper scribing mechanism 231 and the lower scribing mechanism 232 are operated, thereby implementing a series of scribing operations based on the process recipe.

另外,在劃線裝置200之情形時,在下側劃線機構232中,為了使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸,而使下側劃線頭30B上升,但因為脆性材料基板P與旋轉刀片1的相對位置關係與劃線裝置100的劃線頭30或上側劃線機構231所具備的上側劃線頭30A的情況相同,故而在本實施形態中,為了方便起見,下側劃線頭30B的脆性材料基板P與旋轉刀片1的接觸形態亦表現為「使劃線頭30下降」。Further, in the case of the scribing device 200, in the lower scribing mechanism 232, the lower scribing head 30B is raised in order to bring the rotary blade 1 into contact with the brittle material substrate P, but the brittle material substrate P and the rotary blade are used. The relative positional relationship of 1 is the same as that of the scribing head 30 of the scribing device 100 or the upper scribing head 30A of the upper scribing mechanism 231. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the lower scribing head is used for the sake of convenience. The contact form of the brittle material substrate P of 30B and the rotary blade 1 is also expressed as "lower the scribing head 30".

若通過完成製程配方所設定的全部劃線動作而結束劃線處理(步驟S18),則根據該劃線處理的內容而更新使用歷程(步驟S19)。具體來說,針對使用歷程資料D2,追加記載在開始劃線前運算出的、因進行該劃線處理而產生的各刀片參數的增加值以及進行劃線的日期,之前記載的累計值被改寫為利用所述運算而獲得的預計到達值。When the scribing process is completed by completing all the scribing operations set by the process recipe (step S18), the use history is updated based on the content of the scribing process (step S19). Specifically, for the use history data D2, the added value of each blade parameter generated by the scribing process and the date of the scribing which is calculated before the start of scribing is added, and the previously accumulated value is rewritten. The estimated arrival value obtained to take advantage of the operation.

若更新使用歷程,則控制部121或251使監視器128或258顯示用以輸入有無執行基於另一個製程配方的劃線的選單(步驟S20)。在選擇以另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為是),返回到步驟S5,之後重複進行與所述相同的處理。在選擇不以另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為否),一系列的處理結束。If the usage history is updated, the control section 121 or 251 causes the monitor 128 or 258 to display a menu for inputting whether or not to execute a scribing based on another recipe (step S20). When the case where the scribing is performed with another process recipe is selected (YES in step S20), the process returns to step S5, and the same processing as described above is repeated. When the case where the scribing is not performed with another process recipe is selected (NO in step S20), a series of processing ends.

如以上所說明,在本實施形態的劃線處理系統中,在進行劃線 之前,利用代碼讀取器讀取標印於刀片保持具上之代碼,並對由該刀片保持具保持的旋轉刀片之管理編號與型式進行解碼,將已解碼的管理編號與使用歷程進行對照。該對照的結果為,在該管理編號的旋轉刀片已作為達到使用極限而不可使用的旋轉刀片預先記錄之情形時,劃線裝置進行禁止使用該旋轉刀片的顯示,並且禁止運行直至準備另一個刀片保持具為止。藉此,可防止因使用已達到使用極限的旋轉刀片而導致劃線不良的產生。As described above, in the scribing processing system of the present embodiment, scribing is performed Previously, the code reader was used to read the code stamped on the blade holder and the management number and pattern of the rotating blade held by the blade holder was decoded to compare the decoded management number with the usage history. As a result of this comparison, when the rotating blade of the management number has been previously recorded as a rotating blade that is not usable to reach the use limit, the scribing device performs display prohibiting the use of the rotating blade, and prohibits the operation until another blade is prepared. Keep it up. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the scribe line defect due to the use of the rotary blade that has reached the use limit.

而且,將已解碼的型式、與規定之後欲進行的劃線處理的內容的製程配方資料中所記載的型式進行對照。該對照的結果為,在該旋轉刀片的型式未作為可使用的旋轉刀片的型式記載於製程配方資料中之情形時,劃線裝置進行禁止使用該旋轉刀片的顯示,並且禁止運行直至準備另一個刀片保持具為止。藉此,可防止因使用型式不適於執行基於製程配方資料所設定之製程配方的旋轉刀片而導致的劃線不良的產生。Further, the decoded pattern and the pattern described in the recipe recipe data of the content of the scribing process to be performed later are compared. As a result of the comparison, when the type of the rotary blade is not described as a type of the rotary blade that can be used in the process recipe data, the scribing device prohibits the display using the rotary blade, and prohibits the operation until another one is prepared. The blade is held until now. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the generation of the scribing defect caused by the use of the rotary blade whose type is not suitable for executing the process recipe set based on the process recipe data.

此外,關於各旋轉刀片,對其使用形態賦予特徵,並且預先記錄影響使用壽命的參數亦即刀片參數的歷程,另一方面,在製程配方資料中,對於各刀片參數根據製程配方資料中所記載的劃線內容而預先設定作為旋轉刀片更換標準的值、亦即建議更換值。而且,關於各刀片參數,將已根據製程配方進行劃線的情況時可能到達的累計值(預計到達值)、與建議更換值進行比較,當存在前者較大的刀片參數時,進行建議更換旋轉刀片的顯示。藉此,可確實地防止於執行基於製程配方資料而設定的製程配方之情形時產生劃線不良。而且,因為根據製程配方之設定內容而決定建議更換值,故而能夠在可使用的範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片。In addition, regarding each rotary blade, a feature is given to its use form, and a parameter affecting the service life, that is, a history of the blade parameter is recorded in advance, and on the other hand, in the process recipe data, each blade parameter is recorded according to the process recipe data. The value of the scribe line is set in advance as a value for the replacement of the rotary blade, that is, a recommended replacement value. Moreover, regarding each blade parameter, the cumulative value (estimated arrival value) that may have been reached when the line is drawn according to the process recipe is compared with the recommended replacement value, and when there is a larger blade parameter of the former, the recommended replacement rotation is performed. The display of the blade. Thereby, it is possible to surely prevent the occurrence of the scribe defect when the process recipe set based on the process recipe data is executed. Further, since the recommended replacement value is determined according to the setting contents of the process recipe, the rotary blade can be effectively used within the usable range.

<第2實施形態><Second embodiment>

在所述第1實施形態中,通過基於所設定的製程配方的運算處理 來進行各刀片參數的累計,但刀片參數的累計形態並不限定於所述形態。在本實施形態中,對基於實測值累計刀片參數之情形時的劃線處理的流程進行說明。但,為了簡單說明,在本實施形態中,僅將之前所例示的刀片參數中的旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數、和旋轉刀片1的移行距離用於判斷是否需要更換旋轉刀片1。In the first embodiment, the arithmetic processing based on the set process recipe is performed. The accumulation of the blade parameters is performed, but the cumulative form of the blade parameters is not limited to the above configuration. In the present embodiment, the flow of the scribing process in the case where the blade parameters are accumulated based on the actual measurement values will be described. However, for the sake of simplicity, in the present embodiment, only the number of collisions of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P among the blade parameters exemplified above and the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 are used to determine whether or not the rotary blade 1 needs to be replaced. .

圖14及圖15係表示在本實施形態中在劃線裝置100或200上安裝刀片保持具10之後至劃線處理完成為止的處理流程的圖。FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are views showing a flow of processing until the scribing process is completed after the blade holder 10 is attached to the scribing device 100 or 200 in the present embodiment.

如圖14所示,在本實施形態的劃線處理的前段部分,具體來說是從準備刀片保持具10之後,到基於已從代碼14解碼的管理編號或型式來判斷旋轉刀片1是否可使用之間的步驟(步驟S1~S10)與第1實施形態相同。As shown in FIG. 14, in the preceding stage of the scribing process of the present embodiment, specifically, from the preparation of the blade holder 10, it is judged whether or not the rotary blade 1 is usable based on the management number or pattern decoded from the code 14. The steps (steps S1 to S10) are the same as in the first embodiment.

但,在本實施形態之情形時,在通過對照型式而判斷為旋轉刀片1適於執行所設定的製程配方的時間點(在步驟S10中為是),將刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上(步驟S15)。另外,在該刀片保持具10已安裝在保持具接頭20上之情形時,對該情況進行確認。而且,若刀片保持具10安裝在保持具接頭20上,則在進行公知的對準處理或初始處理之後,控制部121或251發出指示基於所設定的製程配方執行劃線處理的信號(步驟S16)。However, in the case of the present embodiment, when it is determined by the comparison pattern that the rotary blade 1 is suitable for executing the set process recipe (YES in step S10), the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint. 20 is on (step S15). In addition, this case is confirmed when the blade holder 10 has been mounted on the holder joint 20. Further, if the blade holder 10 is mounted on the holder joint 20, the control unit 121 or 251 issues a signal indicating that the scribing process is executed based on the set process recipe after the well-known alignment process or initial processing is performed (step S16). ).

劃線裝置100或200響應該執行指示信號,開始基於製程配方進行劃線(步驟S17),但在本實施形態中,在開始進行該劃線的同時,劃線裝置100或200實測刀片參數,此外,將刀片參數的實測值(參數實測值)逐次地傳送給控制部121或251。控制部121或251在每次取得參數實測值時,將參數實測值與使用歷程資料D2中所記載的各刀片參數之前的累計值相加(步驟S101)。The scribing device 100 or 200 starts scribing based on the process recipe in response to the execution instruction signal (step S17), but in the present embodiment, the scribing device 100 or 200 measures the blade parameter while starting the scribing. Further, the measured value (parameter measured value) of the blade parameter is sequentially transmitted to the control unit 121 or 251. Each time the control unit 121 or 251 acquires the parameter actual measurement value, the parameter actual measurement value is added to the integrated value before each blade parameter described in the use history data D2 (step S101).

例如,關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數,是在每次通過劃線頭的升降動作而使旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時,在之 前的累計值上加上「1」。而且,關於旋轉刀片1的移行距離,每當進行向X軸方向或Y軸方向的劃線動作時,將這時的旋轉刀片1的移行距離加上之前的累計值。For example, regarding the number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P, each time the rotary blade 1 is brought into contact with the brittle material substrate P by the lifting operation of the scribing head, Add "1" to the previous accumulated value. Further, regarding the travel distance of the rotary blade 1, each time the scribing operation in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction is performed, the travel distance of the rotary insert 1 at this time is added to the previous integrated value.

在進行劃線動作期間,控制部121或251在每次將刀片參數相加時,均會將對各刀片參數進行相加後的值與製程配方資料D1中所記載的建議更換值V1進行比較,根據任一個刀片參數大於建議更換值V1來判斷旋轉刀片1是否已達到建議更換狀態(步驟S102)。During the scribing operation, the control unit 121 or 251 compares the values of the respective blade parameters with the recommended replacement value V1 recorded in the process recipe data D1 each time the blade parameters are added. Whether or not the rotary blade 1 has reached the recommended replacement state is judged based on whether any of the blade parameters is larger than the recommended replacement value V1 (step S102).

在未達到建議更換狀態(在步驟S102中為否),且進行劃線期間(在步驟S103中為否),重複進行這些參數的相加、和與建議更換值V1的比較。When the recommended replacement state is not reached (NO in step S102), and the scribing period is performed (NO in step S103), the addition of these parameters and the comparison with the recommended replacement value V1 are repeated.

另一方面,在執行劃線期間,在任一個刀片參數大於建議更換值V1而成為建議更換狀態之情形時(在步驟S102中為是),控制部121或251使監視器128或258顯示建議更換劃線中使用的旋轉刀片1的顯示(建議更換顯示)(步驟S104)。藉此,告知該旋轉刀片1處於建議更換狀態。但,在此時間點劃線動作仍在繼續著。On the other hand, during the execution of the scribing, when any of the blade parameters is larger than the recommended replacement value V1 and becomes the recommended replacement state (YES in step S102), the control portion 121 or 251 causes the monitor 128 or 258 to display the recommended replacement. The display of the rotary blade 1 used in the scribing (recommended replacement display) (step S104). Thereby, the rotary blade 1 is informed that it is in the recommended replacement state. However, the dashing action continues at this point in time.

若進行建議更換顯示,則操作人員判斷是否更換旋轉刀片1(步驟S105)。在進行更換之情形時(在步驟S105中為是),停止劃線(步驟S106),準備另一個刀片保持具並重新讀取代碼(步驟S7、S8、S2)。藉此,避免產生劃線不良。When the recommended replacement display is performed, the operator determines whether or not to replace the rotary blade 1 (step S105). When the replacement is performed (YES in step S105), the scribing is stopped (step S106), another blade holder is prepared and the code is re-read (steps S7, S8, S2). Thereby, it is avoided to cause poor scribing.

在儘管已進行建議更換顯示但並未更換旋轉刀片1之情形時(在步驟S105中為否)、或旋轉刀片1本來並未成為建議更換狀態之情形時,若製程配方中所設定的劃線動作全部完成,則劃線處理結束(在步驟S18、步驟S103中為是)。而且,通過在此時間點下將各刀片參數相加而更新使用歷程資料D2的累計值(步驟S19)。In the case where the recommended replacement display has been performed but the rotary blade 1 has not been replaced (NO in step S105), or the rotary blade 1 does not originally become the recommended replacement state, if the line is set in the process recipe When the operations are all completed, the scribing process ends (YES in steps S18 and S103). Moreover, the accumulated value of the usage history data D2 is updated by adding the blade parameters at this point of time (step S19).

另外,關於儘管已進行建議更換顯示但並未進行旋轉刀片1的更換的情況,符合的有因剩餘批次數很少等理由而判斷為劃線處理結束 的時間點下的刀片參數之累計值略大於建議更換值V1的情況等、判斷為產生劃線不良的可能性較低的情況。In addition, in the case where the replacement of the rotary blade 1 has not been performed, the replacement of the rotary blade 1 is not performed, and it is determined that the end of the scribing process is ended because the number of remaining batches is small. When the cumulative value of the blade parameter at the time point is slightly larger than the recommended replacement value V1, it is determined that the possibility of occurrence of the scribe defect is low.

若更新使用歷程,則控制部121或251使監視器128或258顯示用以輸入有無基於另一個製程配方執行劃線的選單(步驟S20)。在選擇按另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為是),返回到步驟S5,在下文中重複進行與所述相同的處理。在選擇不按另一個製程配方執行劃線之情形時(在步驟S20中為否),一系列的處理結束。If the usage history is updated, the control section 121 or 251 causes the monitor 128 or 258 to display a menu for inputting whether or not to perform scribing based on another recipe (step S20). When the case where the scribing is performed by another process recipe is selected (YES in step S20), the process returns to step S5, and the same processing as described above is repeated hereinafter. When the case where the scribing is not performed by another process recipe is selected (NO in step S20), a series of processing ends.

如上所述,在本實施形態中,與根據製程配方之記載內容對刀片參數進行運算,並基於該運算結果來判斷旋轉刀片1是否處於建議更換狀態的第1實施形態的不同點在於:基於實際的劃線動作來判斷旋轉刀片1是否處於建議更換狀態。在第1實施形態中,若製程配方的設定內容複雜,則預計到達值的運算需要花費時間,故而有處理效率降低的可能性,但在本實施形態中,因為僅在劃線處理中重複進行加法運算處理,故而能在不降低處理效率的情況下進行劃線處理,且可確實地防止劃線不良的產生。As described above, in the present embodiment, the difference between the first embodiment and the first embodiment in which the blade parameter is calculated based on the description of the process recipe and the rotary blade 1 is in the recommended replacement state is based on the actual situation. The scribing action determines whether the rotary blade 1 is in the recommended replacement state. In the first embodiment, if the setting content of the process recipe is complicated, it takes time to calculate the arrival value, and thus the processing efficiency may be lowered. However, in the present embodiment, it is repeated only in the scribing process. Since the addition processing is performed, the scribing process can be performed without lowering the processing efficiency, and the occurrence of the scribing defect can be surely prevented.

而且,在第1實施形態中,存在如下情況:即使為實際上未達到建議更換狀態的旋轉刀片1,亦會將預計到達值與建議更換值進行比較,結果在下次使用時達到建議更換狀態之情形時,在此時間點進行更換;但在本實施形態中,是在實際上達到建議更換狀態後才更換旋轉刀片1,故而可更有效地使用旋轉刀片1。Further, in the first embodiment, there is a case where even if the rotary blade 1 that does not actually reach the recommended replacement state is compared, the estimated arrival value is compared with the recommended replacement value, and as a result, the recommended replacement state is reached at the next use. In this case, the replacement is performed at this point of time; however, in the present embodiment, the rotary blade 1 is replaced only after the recommended replacement state is actually reached, so that the rotary blade 1 can be used more effectively.

另外,刀片參數的實測可使用公知的技術進行。關於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數,例如可以為如下形態:在劃線頭30上設置有每當旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時會接通或斷開的繼電器(電接點),每當控制部121或251檢測到該接通/斷開信號時加上「1」;亦可以為如下形態:由伺服馬達構成劃線頭30的升降部31,每當檢測到旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P接觸時伺服馬達所產生的轉矩的上升時 加上「1」。In addition, the actual measurement of the blade parameters can be performed using well-known techniques. The number of collisions between the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P may be, for example, a configuration in which a relay (electrical connection) that is turned on or off each time the rotary blade 1 comes into contact with the brittle material substrate P is provided on the scribing head 30. Point), "1" is added every time the control unit 121 or 251 detects the ON/OFF signal; it may be in the form that the lift portion 31 of the scribing head 30 is constituted by a servo motor, and rotation is detected every time. When the blade 1 comes into contact with the brittle material substrate P, the torque generated by the servo motor rises. Add "1".

而且,關於旋轉刀片1的移行距離,在如劃線裝置100的Y軸方向之劃線動作般,於旋轉刀片1相對於脆性材料基板P的相對移動是使用滾珠螺桿103實現之情形時,利用未圖示的旋轉編碼器將馬達的旋轉軸的旋轉數轉變、輸出成脈衝信號,而且,利用編碼器計數器對所輸出的脈衝信號進行計數,藉此算出移行距離。或者,於旋轉刀片1的相對移動係使用線性馬達而實現之情形時,在其定子部分設置沿著劃線頭30所具備的轉子部分之移動方向的線性比例尺,並且若在劃線頭30移動時對其刻度部分進行掃描,則每單位長度會產生1個脈衝信號,根據所輸出的脈衝信號數算出移行距離便可。Further, regarding the travel distance of the rotary blade 1, as in the case of the scribing operation in the Y-axis direction of the scribing device 100, when the relative movement of the rotary blade 1 with respect to the brittle material substrate P is realized by using the ball screw 103, the use is performed. A rotary encoder (not shown) converts the number of rotations of the rotating shaft of the motor into a pulse signal, and counts the output pulse signal by the encoder counter to calculate the travel distance. Alternatively, when the relative movement of the rotary blade 1 is realized by using a linear motor, a linear scale along the moving direction of the rotor portion provided in the scribing head 30 is provided in the stator portion thereof, and if it is moved at the scribing head 30 When the scale portion is scanned, one pulse signal is generated per unit length, and the travel distance can be calculated from the number of pulse signals output.

如以上所說明,即使在本實施形態中,亦與第1實施形態同樣地,可基於從標印於刀片保持具上之代碼解碼而得的由該刀片保持具保持的旋轉刀片之管理編號與型式,來判定能否使用旋轉刀片。As described above, even in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the management number of the rotary blade held by the blade holder can be decoded based on the code decoded from the blade holder. Type to determine whether the rotary blade can be used.

此外,關於各旋轉刀片,對其使用形態賦予特徵,且基於實測值而將對使用壽命造成影響的參數亦即刀片參數進行累計,並且,基於針對記載有劃線處理內容的每個製程配方而決定的各刀片參數的建議更換值,而特定出用於劃線的旋轉刀片是否已達到建議更換狀態,故而可確實地防止於執行製程配方之情形時產生劃線不良。而且,因為根據製程配方之設定內容而決定建議更換值,故而能夠在可使用的範圍內有效地使用旋轉刀片。Further, with respect to each of the rotary blades, a feature is given to the shape of use thereof, and a parameter that affects the service life, that is, a blade parameter is accumulated based on the actual measurement value, and based on each process recipe for the content of the scribing process. The determined replacement value of each blade parameter is determined, and it is determined whether or not the rotary blade for scribing has reached the recommended replacement state, so that it is possible to surely prevent the occurrence of poor scribing when the process recipe is executed. Further, since the recommended replacement value is determined according to the setting contents of the process recipe, the rotary blade can be effectively used within the usable range.

<變化例><variation>

在所述說明中,獨立地說明了第1實施形態的劃線處理與第2實施形態的劃線處理,但這些劃線處理並非相背的,而是可同時並行地進行。在此情況下,亦可以根據刀片參數的種類而區分使用各劃線處理。例如,亦可以如下所述:關於基於旋轉刀片1與脆性材料基板P的碰撞次數或移行距離的建議更換狀態的判斷,應用第2實施形態的劃 線處理,基於實測進行,另一方面,關於基於外切的次數或扭轉的次數的建議更換狀態的判斷,應用第1實施形態的劃線處理,基於預計到達值進行。In the above description, the scribing process of the first embodiment and the scribing process of the second embodiment are independently described. However, these scribing processes are not reversed, but can be performed simultaneously in parallel. In this case, it is also possible to distinguish between the respective scribing processes depending on the type of the blade parameters. For example, as described below, the determination of the recommended replacement state based on the number of collisions or the travel distance of the rotary blade 1 and the brittle material substrate P may be applied to the second embodiment. The line processing is performed based on the actual measurement. On the other hand, the determination of the recommended replacement state based on the number of times of the circumcision or the number of times of the torsion is performed by applying the scribing process of the first embodiment based on the estimated arrival value.

在所述第2實施形態中,在劃線處理時實測刀片參數,但在對準處理時、或在手動操作進行的測試劃線時等亦可以實測該刀片參數。在此情況下,因為使用歷程資料D2中所記錄的刀片參數之累計值與實際的刀片參數的值較為接近,故而可更嚴格地判斷是否需要更換旋轉刀片。另外,在第1實施形態之情形時,這種應對亦並非不可能,但亦未必現實。In the second embodiment, the blade parameter is actually measured at the time of the scribing process, but the blade parameter can be actually measured at the time of the alignment process or the test scribing performed by the manual operation. In this case, since the cumulative value of the blade parameters recorded in the usage history data D2 is close to the value of the actual blade parameter, it is possible to more strictly determine whether or not the rotary blade needs to be replaced. Further, in the case of the first embodiment, such a response is not impossible, but it is not necessarily realistic.

在第2實施形態之情形時,刀片參數之累計值幾乎是即時更新。亦可以利用這種方式將該累計值即時顯示在監視器128或258中。在此情況下,因為操作人員可以視認刀片參數接近建議更換值V1的狀況,故而可以事先進行更換的準備。在此情況下,亦可以為遞減(count down)方式顯示達到建議更換值V1之前的刀片參數的值的形態。In the case of the second embodiment, the cumulative value of the blade parameters is almost instantaneously updated. This accumulated value can also be instantly displayed in the monitor 128 or 258 in this manner. In this case, since the operator can recognize that the blade parameter is close to the recommended replacement value V1, the preparation for replacement can be performed in advance. In this case, the form of the value of the blade parameter before the recommended replacement value V1 is displayed may also be displayed in a countdown manner.

在所述情況下,亦可以為使用如下劃線裝置的形態,該劃線裝置對脆性材料基板P的一個面進行劃線的旋轉刀片僅有1個,通過對同一面設置複數個劃線頭而對該面的複數個部位同時進行劃線。在此情況下,所述的能否使用的判斷或更換的判斷是根據安裝在各劃線頭上的旋轉刀片而分別進行。In this case, it is also possible to use a scribing device in which only one rotating blade is scribed on one surface of the brittle material substrate P, and a plurality of scribing heads are provided on the same surface. A plurality of portions of the surface are simultaneously scribed. In this case, the judgment of whether or not the use can be judged or replaced is performed separately according to the rotary blades mounted on the respective scribing heads.

劃線處理系統亦可以包含自動更換保持具接頭20上所安裝的刀片保持具10的器件(保持具自動更換器件)。在此情況下,較佳為響應旋轉刀片1不可使用或處於建議更換狀態被告知給控制部121或251,由保持具自動更換器件更換刀片保持具10。The scribing system can also include means for automatically replacing the blade holder 10 mounted on the holder joint 20 (holding device). In this case, it is preferable to notify the control portion 121 or 251 in response to the unusable or in the recommended replacement state of the rotary blade 1, and the blade holder 10 is replaced by the holder automatic change device.
