Abstract
Description
この発明は、ウエハ等のワークを真空吸着する導電性の真空チャックに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a conductive vacuum chuck that vacuum-sucks a workpiece such as a wafer.
従来、この種の真空チャックは、ベースと、ウエハ等を載せる吸着部とを備え、ウエハの裏面側を負圧又は正圧にすることで、ウエハ等を吸着部上に吸着し又は吸着部から解放するようにしている。
通常、このような真空チャックでは、静電気がウエハ等に帯電する事態を防止するために、チャック全体を、導電性部材で形成している。具体的には、ベースや吸着部等、真空チャック全体を導電性のポリエーテルエーテルケトン(以下、「PEEK」と記す)を用いて、機械加工や射出成形によって一体成形している(例えば、特許文献1~4参照)。
Conventionally, this type of vacuum chuck includes a base and a suction portion on which a wafer or the like is placed, and the back surface side of the wafer is made negative pressure or positive pressure to suck the wafer or the like on the suction portion or from the suction portion. I try to release.
Usually, in such a vacuum chuck, the entire chuck is formed of a conductive member in order to prevent a situation where static electricity is charged on a wafer or the like. Specifically, the entire vacuum chuck, such as the base and the suction part, is integrally formed by machining or injection molding using conductive polyether ether ketone (hereinafter referred to as “PEEK”) (for example, patents)
しかし、上記した従来の真空チャックでは、次のような問題がある。
真空チャックの素材であるPEEKは、ウエハとの接触時に発塵が生じ易く、ウエハを汚染するおそれがある。
また、通常は、ウエハを載せる複数のエンボスを、真空チャックの吸着部表面に形成して、ウエハと吸着部との接触面積の低減化を図る。しかし、エンボスをPEEKに形成する場合には、機械加工によって形成しなければならず、微細なエンボスを形成することができない。このため、ウエハと吸着部との接触面積が十分に小さくならず、十分な発塵防止効果を発揮することができない。
また、PEEKを用いた場合、吸着部の表面抵抗が、102~104Ωの範囲でばらつき、安定した抵抗値を得ることができない。
さらに、PEEKは、引張強度が100MPa以下であり、機械的強度に劣っている。
However, the conventional vacuum chuck described above has the following problems.
PEEK, which is the material of the vacuum chuck, is likely to generate dust when it comes into contact with the wafer, and may contaminate the wafer.
Further, usually, a plurality of embosses on which a wafer is placed are formed on the surface of the suction portion of the vacuum chuck to reduce the contact area between the wafer and the suction portion. However, when embossing is formed on PEEK, it must be formed by machining, and fine embossing cannot be formed. For this reason, the contact area between the wafer and the suction portion is not sufficiently reduced, and a sufficient dust generation preventing effect cannot be exhibited.
In addition, when PEEK is used, the surface resistance of the attracting part varies in the range of 10 2 to 10 4 Ω, and a stable resistance value cannot be obtained.
Furthermore, PEEK has a tensile strength of 100 MPa or less and is inferior in mechanical strength.
この発明は、上述した課題を解決するためになされたもので、低発塵性と微細なエンボスと低い表面抵抗と高い機械的強度を備えた真空チャックを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vacuum chuck having low dust generation, fine embossing, low surface resistance, and high mechanical strength.
上記課題を解決するために、請求項1の発明は、導電性のベースとこのベースの表面に固着された吸着部とを備え、導電性のベースが、表面で開口した空気通路を有し、吸着部が、空気通路の開口と連通した吸着及び解放用の孔,複数のエンボス,及びこれらエンボスと等しい高さの外周壁部を有する真空チャックであって、吸着部を、低発塵性の導電性樹脂シートで形成し、導電性の接着樹脂シートを介してベースの表面に固着した構成とする。
かかる構成により、ワークを、吸着部のエンボスと外周壁部との上に載置した状態で、空気通路を負圧にすると、ワークの下側の空気が、空気通路の開口と連通した孔から吸引され、ワークが複数のエンボスと外周壁部の上に吸着した状態になる。かかる状態で、ワークに対して所望の加工を行うことができる。
この加工時において、静電気がワークに帯電するおそれがあるが、この発明の真空チャックが、導電性樹脂シートで形成された吸着部を導電性の接着樹脂シートを介してベースの表面に固着した構成になっているので、ワークに発生した静電気は、吸着部から接着樹脂シートを介してベース側に流れる。この結果、ワークの帯電を防止することができる。
また、ワークを複数のエンボス上で加工すると、ワークとエンボスとの接触によって、発塵が生じるおそれがある。しかし、この発明の真空チャックでは、吸着部を、低発塵性の導電性樹脂シートで形成してあるので、ワークとエンボスとの接触による発塵はほとんど生じない。
加工が終了したときには、空気通路を正圧にし、空気を空気通路の開口と連通した吸着部の孔から排気すると、ワークの下側が正圧になり、ワークを吸着部から解放することができる。
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention of
With such a configuration, when the work is placed on the embossing of the suction portion and the outer peripheral wall portion, when the air passage is set to a negative pressure, the air under the work passes through the hole communicating with the opening of the air passage. The workpiece is sucked and the workpiece is adsorbed on the plurality of embosses and the outer peripheral wall. In such a state, desired machining can be performed on the workpiece.
During this processing, there is a possibility that static electricity may be charged on the workpiece, but the vacuum chuck of the present invention has a structure in which the suction portion formed of the conductive resin sheet is fixed to the surface of the base via the conductive adhesive resin sheet Therefore, the static electricity generated in the work flows from the adsorption part to the base side through the adhesive resin sheet. As a result, the workpiece can be prevented from being charged.
Further, when a workpiece is processed on a plurality of embosses, dust may be generated due to contact between the workpiece and the emboss. However, in the vacuum chuck of the present invention, since the adsorbing portion is made of a low dusting conductive resin sheet, dusting due to contact between the work and the emboss hardly occurs.
When machining is completed, if the air passage is brought to a positive pressure and the air is exhausted from the hole of the suction portion communicating with the opening of the air passage, the lower side of the workpiece becomes a positive pressure, and the workpiece can be released from the suction portion.
請求項2の発明は、請求項1に記載の真空チャックにおいて、導電性樹脂シートは、カーボンナノチューブ入りのシートである構成とした。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the vacuum chuck according to the first aspect, the conductive resin sheet is a sheet containing carbon nanotubes.
請求項3の発明は、請求項1又は請求項2に記載の真空チャックにおいて、シートは、導電性のポリイミドを素材とするシートである構成とした。
かかる構成により、カーボンナノチューブ入りのシートが、導電性のポリイミドを素材としているので、上記した従来のPEEKに比べて、非常に微細なエンボスを、エッチングによって形成することができる。したがって、ワークとエンボスとの接触面積を非常に小さくすることができ、この結果、発塵防止効果をさらに高めることができる。また、導電性のポリイミドの表面抵抗は、PEEKに比べて、バラツキがなく安定しており、しかも、抵抗値が非常に低いので、ワークに生じた静電気を素早く排出することができる。さらに、導電性のポリイミドの機械的強度は、PEEKに比べて、高く、耐久性に優れている。
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the vacuum chuck according to the first or second aspect, the sheet is a sheet made of conductive polyimide.
With this configuration, since the sheet containing carbon nanotubes is made of conductive polyimide, it is possible to form a very fine emboss by etching compared to the above-described conventional PEEK. Therefore, the contact area between the workpiece and the emboss can be made very small, and as a result, the dust generation preventing effect can be further enhanced. Further, the surface resistance of the conductive polyimide is stable with no variation compared to PEEK, and the resistance value is very low, so that static electricity generated on the workpiece can be quickly discharged. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of the conductive polyimide is higher than PEEK and is excellent in durability.
請求項4の発明は、請求項3に記載の真空チャックにおいて、絶縁性のポリイミドを導電性のポリイミドの下に配して、吸着部をこの絶縁性のポリイミドと導電性のポリイミドとの二層構造にし、導電性樹脂シートを介して、ベースに固着すると共に、導電性のポリイミドにのみ、複数のエンボスと外周壁部とを形成した構成とする。 According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the vacuum chuck according to the third aspect, the insulating polyimide is disposed under the conductive polyimide, and the adsorbing portion is formed of two layers of the insulating polyimide and the conductive polyimide. The structure is fixed to the base via a conductive resin sheet, and a plurality of embosses and outer peripheral wall portions are formed only on conductive polyimide.
請求項5の発明は、請求項1ないし請求項4のいずれに記載の真空チャックにおいて、
吸着部とベースとが上下方向を向く中心軸の回りで一体回転するスピンチャックである構成とした。
The invention of claim 5 is the vacuum chuck according to any one of
The suction part and the base are configured to be a spin chuck that rotates integrally around a central axis that faces in the vertical direction.
以上詳しく説明したように、この発明の真空チャックによれば、ワークの帯電を防止することができるだけでなく、発塵を効果的に防止することができる。
特に、請求項3~5の発明によれば、エッチングによるエンボスの微細加工が可能なので、発塵防止効果をさらに高めることができる。また、表面抵抗の小さな導電性のポリイミドによって、ワークに生じた静電気を素早く排出することができる。さらに、機械的強度の高い導電性のポリイミドによって、チャックの耐久性の向上を図ることができる。
As described in detail above, according to the vacuum chuck of the present invention, not only can the workpiece be prevented from being charged, but also dust can be effectively prevented.
In particular, according to the inventions of
以下、この発明の最良の形態について図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, the best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

このような吸着部3は、図2に示すように、ベース2の外周壁部33内に収納され、接着樹脂シート4を介して本体部21の表面21aに接着されている。

As is apparent from the above configuration, the
このような真空チャック1において、吸着部3を低発塵性の導電性樹脂シートで形成した。具体的には、導電性樹脂シートを、カーボンナノチューブ入りのシートで形成した。特に、この実施例では、カーボンナノチューブ入りのシートを導電性のポリイミドを素材とするシートで形成し、吸着部3の低発塵性を確保した。このような樹脂シートとして、絶縁性のポリイミドと導電性のポリイミドとの二層構造を成すデュポン社製の「カプトンRS」(登録商標)の内、導電性のポリイミドを採用することができる。このポリイミドは、厚さが25μmにすることができ、その表面抵抗は、100Ω/sqである。
この吸着部3は、導電性の接着樹脂シート4によってベース2に接着されている。このような導電性の接着樹脂シート4としては、タツタシステム・エレクトロニクス社製の「CBF-300」を採用することができる。この接着樹脂シート4は、Ni-SUS304に対する接続抵抗が1Ωであり、非常に抵抗値が低い。
また、この導電性ポリイミドの引張強度は、約130MPaであり、PEEKに比べて高く、耐久性に優れている。
In such a
The
Further, the tensile strength of this conductive polyimide is about 130 MPa, which is higher than PEEK and excellent in durability.
吸着部3は、エッチングによって形成することができる。

この加工時に、静電気がウエハWに帯電することがある。しかし、この実施例の真空チャック1は、導電性樹脂シートで形成された吸着部3を導電性の接着樹脂シートを介して導電性のベース2の表面に固着した構成になっている。このため、ウエハWに発生した静電気は、吸着部3から接着樹脂シート4を介してベース2側に流れるので、ウエハWが帯電することはほとんどない。
さらに、吸着部3を導電性のポリイミドで形成しているので、その表面抵抗が、PEEKに比べて、バラツキがなく安定しており、しかも非常に低い。このため、ウエハWの帯電防止効果がさらに高まる。
ところで、ウエハWを複数のエンボス30上で加工を行うと、ウエハWとエンボス30との接触によって、発塵が生じるおそれがある。しかし、この実施例の真空チャック1では、吸着部3を、低発塵性の導電性ポリイミドで形成してあるので、ウエハWとエンボス30との接触による発塵はほとんど生じない。
また、エンボス30をエッチングによって微細加工するので、ウエハWとエンボス30との接触面積が非常に小さく、発塵防止効果がさらに高められている。

次に、この発明の第2実施例について説明する。
図7は、この発明の第2実施例に係る真空チャックの概略断面図であり、図8は、吸着部3の構造を示す部分拡大断面図である。
この実施例は、吸着部3を二層構造にした点が、上記第1実施例と異なる。
すなわち、図7に示すように、吸着部3は、絶縁性ポリイミド31と導電性ポリイミド32との二層構造になっており、接着樹脂シート4を介して、ベース2の本体部21に接着されている。この実施例では、絶縁性ポリイミド31と導電性ポリイミド32として、前記デュポン社製の「カプトンRS」(登録商標)を採用し、前記タツタシステム・エレクトロニクス社製の「CBF-300」である接着樹脂シート4を介して接着した。
詳しくは、図8に示すように、複数の溝31aを、絶縁性ポリイミド31に設けることで、溝31a以外の部分に、複数の台部31bを形成している。導電性ポリイミド32は、このような絶縁性ポリイミド31の溝31a内にその大部分を埋没させた状態で、この絶縁性ポリイミド31の上に積層されている。これにより、各エンボス30が各台部31bの上に乗り上がった状態で突出している。
Next explained is the second embodiment of the invention.

吸着部3は、エッチングとプレスによって形成する。
図9は、二層構造の吸着部3を製造する方法を示す工程図である。
まず、図9の(a)に示すように、加工前の絶縁性ポリイミド31の表面にエンボス用のレジスト12と外周壁部用のレジスト12′を配置した後、エッチングによって、図9の(b)に示すように、溝31aと台部31b,31b′とを形成する。
しかる後、図9の(c)に示すように、加工前の導電性ポリイミド32を絶縁性ポリイミド31の上に載置する。かかる状態で、図9の(d)に示すように、エンボス30に対応した複数の穴13aと外周壁部33に対応したリング穴13a′とを有する型枠13を、図示しないプレス機によって、導電性ポリイミド32の上から押圧する。
これにより、導電性ポリイミド32の大部分が、絶縁性ポリイミド31の溝31a内に埋没して、エンボス30が台部31b上で突出すると共に、外周壁部33が台部31b′上でリング状に突出する。この結果、図9の(e)に示すように、複数のエンボス30とリング状の外周壁部33とを有した二層構造の吸着部3が形成される。
