Publication number: 20120100785Abstract: In a conventional wafer chamfering process, the chamfered shape (cross-sectional shape) of the wafer circumference is uniform. However, in the chamfering step in wafer manufacture, the uniform chamfered shape varies with respective circumferential positions. Therefore, a wafer chamfering method that takes into account deformation in the chamfering step in the wafer manufacture is to be provided. The wafer chamfering method is for chamfering a wafer by bringing a grooveless grindstone into contact with the edge (circumferential end) of a wafer. By this wafer chamfering method, a movement trajectory formed by moving the wafer and the grindstone in a relative manner in the Z-axis and Y-axis directions and forming the same cross-sectional shape on the entire wafer circumference is set as a reference.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: April 26, 2012Applicants: SHIN-ETSU HANDOTAI CO., LTD., DAITO ELECTRON CO., LTD.Inventors: Yukio Ishimasa, Ichiro Katayama, Tadahiro Kato, Kuniaki Oonishi

Patent number: 6331133Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically re-pointing twist drill bits includes a drill support mechanism including means for rotatably and axially translatably holding the shank of a drill bit, and a fluted portion receiver for supporting the fluted front cutting portion of the drill bit. The apparatus also includes an optical sensor unit which views the tip and blade part of the drill bit with the drill support mechanism in an off-line position, i.e., rotated away from a grinding wheel station. Responsive to error correction servo command signals received from a comparison of the actual orientation of drill bit cutting lips with a desired pre-determined template position, rotary and linear actuators in the drill support mechanism rotate the drill bit to the proper angular orientation, and advance the bit axially to a pre-determined protrusion length.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1998Date of Patent: December 18, 2001Assignee: Union Tool CompanyInventors: Ichiro Katayama, Yoshinobu Watanabe, Yuichi Nakajima, Yoshiharu Shinbo
