Abstract: A method and apparatus for polishing a thin film on a semiconductor substrate is described. A polishing pad is rotated and a wafer to be polished is placed on the rotating polishing pad. The polishing pad has grooves that channels slurry between the wafer and polishing pad and rids excess material from the wafer, allowing an efficient polishing of the surface of the wafer. The polishing pad smoothes out due to the polishing of the wafer and must be conditioned to restore effectiveness. A conditioning assembly with a plurality of diamonds is provided. The diamonds have predetermined angles that provide strength to the diamond. This allows for an optimal rotation speed and downward force in effective conditioning of the polishing pad, while reducing diamond fracture rate.

Abstract: A method of cutting a rare-earth alloy with a wire saw, obtained by fixing abrasive grains on a core wire with a resin layer, includes the step of moving the wire saw while a portion of the rare-earth alloy being machined with the wire saw is immersed in a coolant, which is mainly composed of water and has a surface tension of about 25 mN/m to about 60 mN/m at about 25° C., thereby cutting the rare-earth alloy. In the wire saw, an average distance between two of the abrasive grains, which are adjacent to each other in a length direction, is about 150% to less than about 400% of the average grain size of the abrasive grains, an average height of portions of the abrasive grains, protruding from the surface of the resin layer, is about 70% or less of the average grain size of the abrasive grains, and a thickness deviation percentage of the resin layer with respect to the core wire is about 40%.

Abstract: The power screwdriver comprises a functional part (11) with a housing (14) through which a shaft (17) passes. The shaft (17) is provided with a toothing (18), into which a ratchet lever of the functional part (11) engages. A splined shaft toothing (20) of the shaft (17) has an insertion recess (21) that changes into a cavity (22). The wall of the cavity (22) is provided with a torsion sensor (23) and forms a measuring section (25) that is located in the area of the shaft (17) covered by the housing (14). A torsion measurement is effected in the measuring section (25). Due to the measuring section (25) being located in the area of the shaft covered by the housing (14), the shaft (17) is relatively short whereby it may be used under tight spatial screwing conditions involving a low head height above the screw. The power wrench is additionally provided with an angle measuring device (33) whereby torque and angle of rotation can be simultaneously provided and can be used for controlling and recording.
