< polishing pad >
The polishing pad according to the present invention includes a polishing layer including a central region disposed at the center of the polishing layer, an outer peripheral region disposed at the outer periphery of the polishing layer, and a connection region between the central region and the outer peripheral region.
The polishing layer is the contact surface of the polishing pad and the wafer. In the present invention, the polishing layer has a diameter of 50 to 100cm, preferably 50 to 90cm; the thickness of the polishing layer is 1.1-3.6mm, and the thickness is 1.27mm and 2.032mm more commonly.
Embodiment one
In this embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the polishing pad includes a polishing layer 100, and a central region 11 is provided at a central position of the polishing layer 100, and the central region 11 is a circular blank region formed centering around the center of the surface of the polishing layer 100. Since the center region 11 does not require trimming of the wafer, the center region 11 of the present invention is provided with a smooth surface, and the residence time of the polishing liquid in the center region 11 during the polishing process can be reduced.
The center of the polishing layer 100 is denoted as O, the radius of the polishing layer 100 is denoted as R, and the radius of the central region 11 is denoted as R 1 The ratio of the radius of the central region 11 to the radius of the polishing layer 100 is: r is more than or equal to 0.02 1 R is less than or equal to 0.15. For example, the radius of the central region 11 may be 12.7mm, 17.0mm, 18.0mm, 22.6mm, 24.6mm, 25.4mm, 32.5mm, or 62.7mm.
The connecting area 12 is arranged outside the central area 11 in a surrounding way, the connecting area 12 is a placement area in the wafer grinding process, and grooves arranged in the connecting area 12 are all centered on the center O of the upper surface of the polishing layer 100. The radius outside the connecting region 12 is R 2 The distance l=r from the inside to the outside of the connection region 12 2 -R 1 The ratio of the distance of the connection region 12 to the radius of the polishing layer 100 satisfies the following conditions: the specific ratio in the range of 0.50L/R0.80, preferably 0.65L/R0.80, can be selected according to the size of the polishing pad and the size of the wafer, the diameter of an 8 inch wafer is about 200mm, and the diameter of a 12 inch wafer is about 300mm.
Specifically, in order to balance the residence time of the abrasive particles in the polishing layer 100 and the grooves during polishing, and to increase the flow of the abrasive particles between the grooves, the grooves of the connection region 12 are configured as concentrically spaced annular grooves 121 and annular discontinuous grooves 122. The annular groove 121 maintains the flow of abrasive particles in the slurry within the grooves of the polishing pad under centrifugal force, so that it reduces the accumulation of abrasive particles within the grooves. Under the action of centrifugal force, the annular intermittent grooves 122 can enable the grinding particles to overflow into the annular intermittent grooves 122 to the surface of the polishing layer 100, so that more polishing liquid is provided for the surface, the grinding time is shortened, the defect generation quantity is reduced, and a good grinding effect is achieved. The staggered use of the annular intermittent grooves 122 and the annular grooves 121 can prolong the retention time of the polishing liquid, enable the polishing liquid to overflow to the surface of the polishing layer 100 to perform a grinding function, increase the circulation of the polishing liquid, enable the polishing liquid to be uniformly distributed on the polishing layer 100, and reduce the generation of wafer defects compared with the independent use. In addition to the excellent properties described above, the useful life of the polishing pad can be extended.
In addition, the spacing distance between any two adjacent annular grooves 121 in the radial direction of the polishing layer 100 may be equal or unequal, and any two adjacent annular discontinuous grooves 122 may be equally spaced, regularly or irregularly spaced, or regionally equally spaced, and regionally regularly spaced or irregularly spaced in the radial direction of the polishing layer 100. In this embodiment, there is one annular discontinuous groove 122 between two adjacent annular grooves 121. To increase the uniformity of the distribution of the polishing liquid, the discontinuities of adjacent annular discontinuity grooves 122 are staggered.
In the present embodiment, the annular groove 121 and the annular intermittent groove 122 have the same width, denoted as W, and the groove width W is 0.2 to 1.2mm, preferably 0.25 to 0.8mm, and more preferably 0.30 to 0.58mm.

The spacing between the circumferential grooves is 1 to 9W, preferably 3 to 8W, more preferably 3.5 to 6.7W. For example, it may be 1.47mm, 1.57mm, 1.72mm, 1.82mm, 2.99mm, or 3.09mm.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a partial view of the polishing layer 100, where the partial annular intermittent groove 122 includes four concentric circular arc grooves 122a with the same radius, the central angle α corresponding to the concentric circular arc grooves 122a is 84 degrees, and the central angle β corresponding to the intermittent portion 122b is 6 degrees. It should be noted that the illustration in fig. 2 is not to be construed as limiting the annular intermittent groove 122, and the annular intermittent groove 122 includes three or more concentric circular arc grooves 122a with the same radius. The central angle α corresponding to the concentric arc groove 122a is between 20 and 120 degrees. For example, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 55 degrees, 80 degrees may be used. The concentric circular arc grooves 122a with the same radius are not connected, the disconnected part forms a discontinuous part 122b, and the central angle beta corresponding to two end points of the discontinuous part 122b is between 5 and 20 degrees. Preferably, the ratio of the central angle corresponding to the concentric arc groove 122a to the central angle corresponding to the discontinuity 122b is 5-8:1.
More specifically, the two adjacent annular grooves 121 are connected to each other at the intermittent position of the annular intermittent groove 122, namely, the connecting groove 123, so that the abrasive particles in the polishing solution move in the connecting grooves and flow out, and the ground fragments can be filled in the grooves of the polishing layer 100 after long-time grinding, so that the fragments can be removed along with the connecting grooves 123. The annular intermittent grooves 122 adjacent to each other are not communicated with each other, and the purpose of the non-communication is to facilitate the flow of the polishing liquid to the surface of the polishing layer 100.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the length m=r—r of the outer peripheral region 13 in the radial direction 2 The ratio of the length of the peripheral region 13 to the radius of the polishing layer 100 is: M/R is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.20. The peripheral region 13 includes a plurality of radial first linear grooves 131 and second linear grooves 132, the plurality of first linear grooves 131 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, one end of each first linear groove 131 is communicated with the annular groove 121, and the other end extends to the outside of the polishing layer 100. The second linear groove 132 has one end communicating with the annular intermittent groove 122 and the other end extending to the outside of the polishing layer 100. The first linear grooves 131 andthe depth of the second linear groove 132 is the same as the depth of the outermost annular groove 121. In the present embodiment, the depths of all the annular intermittent grooves 122 and the annular grooves 121 are the same. For example, the depth of the first and second linear grooves 131 and 132 may be 0.70mm, 0.72mm, 0.85mm, 0.87mm, 0.88mm, 0.93mm, 0.95mm, 0.97mm, 1.09mm, 1.10mm, 1.12mm, 1.21mm, 1.36mm, 1.44mm, 1.60mm.

Embodiment III
As another embodiment of the present invention, the groove pattern design incorporating the present invention is the same as the first embodiment, except that there is a more preferable definition of the connection region 32 for the polishing layer 300 of the polishing pad.
In this embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the connection region 32 is divided into a sparse region 301 and a dense region 302, the sparse region 301 being located on the side close to the center of the polishing layer 300, the dense region 302 being located on the side away from the center of the polishing layer 300, the distance from the inside to the outside of the sparse region 301 being denoted as L 1 The distance from the inner side to the outer side of the dense region 302 is denoted as L 2 ,L=L 2 +L 1 ,L 1 /L 2 The range of (2) is 0.1 to 0.8, preferably 0.1 to 0.5. The widths of the grooves are all denoted as W, the spacing distance between the annular discontinuous grooves 322 in the dense region 302 is 2.5W to 4.0W, and the spacing distance between the annular discontinuous grooves 312 in the sparse region 301 is 4.0W to 5.5W. The annular discontinuous grooves in the two areas of the sparse area 301 and the dense area 302 have the same pitch from annular groove to annular groove as the distance between the adjacent two annular discontinuous grooves. The annular discontinuous grooves 312 in the sparse region 301 comprise concentric circular grooves with corresponding central angles alpha 2 70-80 degrees, and the central angle alpha corresponding to the concentric circular arc grooves 322 of the dense region 302 1 30-40 degrees. The connection regions 32 are arranged in stages so that the polishing pad has different polishing effects in the sparse region 301 and the dense region 302, thereby making the polishing uniformity effect better.
Fourth embodiment
As another embodiment of the present invention, similarly to the first embodiment, the grooves for the outer peripheral region 43 of the polishing layer 400 of the polishing pad are more preferably defined in combination with the outer peripheral region 43 of the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 5, the outer peripheral region 43 includes a plurality of radial first curved grooves 431 and second curved grooves 432, the plurality of first curved grooves 431 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, and one end of the first curved groove 431 is communicated with the annular intermittent groove 421, and the other end extends to the outside of the polishing layer 400. The second curved groove 432 has one end communicating with the annular groove 422 and the other end extending outside the polishing layer 400. The first curved groove 431 and the second curved groove 432 have the same depth as the outermost annular break groove 421. In this embodiment, the depths of all the annular break grooves 421 and 422 are the same. For example, the depths of the first curved groove 431 and the second curved groove 432 may be 0.70mm, 0.72mm, 0.85mm, 0.87mm, 0.88mm, 0.93mm, 0.95mm, 0.97mm, 1.10mm, 1.12mm.
Fifth embodiment
As another embodiment of the present invention, similarly to the first embodiment, the grooves of the connection region 52 of the polishing layer 500 of the polishing pad are more preferably defined in combination with the groove pattern of the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the present invention, as the radius increases, the centrifugal force applied to the polishing layer 500 is greater as the polishing layer is closer to the outside, so that the grooves on the inner side of the polishing layer 500 are set to a shallower depth, and the outer side of the polishing layer 500 is set to a deeper depth, so as to prolong the retention time of the polishing liquid on the outer side, not to affect the polishing effect due to rapid removal of the polishing liquid on the outer side, and not to excessively increase the usage amount of the polishing liquid. It has been studied that the depths H of the annular intermittent grooves 522 and 521 are distributed in a parabolic shape in the radial direction due to centrifugal force, as shown in fig. 6, so that the polishing pad has a proper slurry retention time and a proper slurry overflow percentage at different radii, and can maintain polishing uniformity. Establishing a coordinate axis by taking the circle center O of the polishing layer 500 as an origin, taking the radial direction of the polishing layer 500 as an x-axis and taking the direction perpendicular to the plane of the polishing layer 500 as a y-axis, wherein a parabolic equation corresponding to the parabolic shape is recorded as y= (Q-S) x 2 /R 2 -U,R 1 ≤x≤R 2 S is the thickness of the polishing layer, U is 0.01-0.2 times the thickness of the polishing layer, Q is the minimum thickness allowed by the polishing layer, R 1 For the radius of the central region, R 2 A radius outside the connection region 52; h takes the absolute value of y. The minimum thickness allowed for the polishing layer 500 is 0.1 to 0.4 times the thickness of the polishing layer 500.
Embodiment six
As another embodiment of the present invention, similarly to the fifth embodiment, in combination with the groove pattern of the fifth embodiment of the present invention, grooves for the connection region 62 of the polishing layer 600 of the polishing pad are more preferably defined. In the polishing process, as the radius increases, the centrifugal force applied to the polishing layer 600 is greater as the polishing layer approaches the outside, if the cross section of the groove is rectangular or the lower part is elliptical, the polishing particles in the polishing solution will cling to the outer side wall due to the action of the centrifugal force, and are not easy to be discharged from the inside of the groove and accumulated at the bottom of the outer side of the groove. Therefore, according to the stress condition of the grooves, as shown in fig. 7, the side walls of the annular intermittent groove 622 and the annular groove 621 on the side away from the center of the polishing layer 600 are arranged in a parabolic arc shape. The parabolic arc is the left portion of the upwardly convex arc to facilitate the spilling of abrasive particles onto the surface of the polishing layer 600. The larger the parabolic coefficient, the steeper the parabola, and the smaller the parabolic coefficient, the flatter. The parabolic curve of the annular groove 621 may be somewhat flatter than the parabolic curve of the annular discontinuous groove 622, allowing for more advantageous draining of abrasive particles to the surface of the polishing layer 600 when the slurry residence time is balanced. With the increase of polishing time, the grooves having the shape shown in fig. 7 reduce the aggregation of polishing particles, thereby slowing down the glazing of the polishing pad and increasing the service life of the polishing pad.
