  • Publication number: 20210308828
    Abstract: A dressing apparatus includes a bus member which is equipped with a ceiling plate and a circular or polygonal cylindrical skirt portion provided at a bottom surface of the ceiling plate and which is configured to accommodate a polishing pad from thereabove. The bus member includes a dual fluid nozzle configured to jet a cleaning liquid and a gas onto a polishing surface of the polishing pad; a dress board configured to come into contact with the polishing surface of the polishing pad; and a rinse nozzle configured to supply a rinse liquid onto a contact surface between the polishing surface of the polishing pad and the dress board. A cleaning liquid, a fragment of a grindstone or a sludge is suppressed from being scattered around by the skirt portion.

  • Publication number: 20210039221
    Abstract: A substrate warpage correction method according to this disclosure corrects warpage of a substrate without performing a process on a front surface of the substrate. The substrate warpage correction method includes a surface roughening of performing a surface roughening process on a rear surface of the substrate using a surface roughening processing apparatus configured to be able to perform the surface roughening process on the rear surface of the substrate, to form grooves in the rear surface to thereby correct the warpage of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10840079
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a first holding part configured to hold a substrate; a second holding part configured to hold the substrate; a sliding member configured to rotate about a vertical axis so that the sliding member slides on a back surface of the substrate; a revolution mechanism configured to revolve the sliding member under rotation about a vertical revolution axis; and a relative movement mechanism configured to horizontally move a relative position between the substrate and a revolution trajectory of the sliding member so that when the substrate is held by the first holding part, the sliding member slides on a central portion of the back surface of the substrate, and when the substrate is held by the second holding part, the sliding member slides on the peripheral portion of the back surface of the substrate under rotation.
