  • Publication number: 20140206261
    Abstract: A method for polishing at least one wafer composed of semiconductor material that has a front side and the rear side includes performing at least one first polishing step including simultaneously polishing both front and rear sides of the at least one wafer at a process temperature between an upper polishing plate and a lower polishing plate. Each of the upper polishing and lower polishing plates is covered with a polishing pad having an inner edge and an outer edge, a hardness of at least 80° Shore A, a compressibility of less than 2.5%, and respective upper and lower surfaces that come into contact with the wafer being polished. The upper and lower surfaces form a polishing gap extending from the inner edge to the outer edge. A height of the polishing gap at the inner edge differs linearly from the height of the polishing gap at the outer edge.

  • Publication number: 20140141613
    Abstract: A process for polishing a semiconductor wafer includes simultaneous polishing of a front side and of a reverse side of a substrate wafer in the presence of polishing medium so as to achieve material removal from the front side and the reverse side of the substrate wafer. The simultaneous polishing includes a first step and a second step. A speed of material removal in the first step is higher than in the second step. The first step includes the use of a first polishing slurry as a polishing medium and the second step includes a second polishing slurry as the polishing medium. The second polishing slurry differs from the first polishing slurry at least in that the second polishing slurry comprises a polymeric additive.

  • Patent number: 8286629
    Abstract: A nebulizer includes a nebulizer body a relay pipe. The nebulizer body includes a connection portion that has an aerosol lead-out port to lead out aerosol, and the relay pipe includes a connection portion that has an aerosol introduction port to introduce the aerosol. The nebulizer body the relay pipe can take a first connection state in which the relay pipe detachably connected to the nebulizer body and a second connection state in which the relay pipe is connected to the nebulizer body so as to be not able to be detached from the nebulizer body. In the first connection state, the aerosol introduction port and the aerosol lead-out port are communicated with each other. In the second connection state, the aerosol lead-out port is blocked by a blocking portion provided in the relay pipe. Therefore, the nebulizer in which reuse of the nebulizer body or relay pipe is simply prohibited after the usage can be provided by the configuration.

  • Publication number: 20120247518
    Abstract: In a thin plate member washing apparatus, tap water showering down from water flow holes of a water flow plate makes contact with outer rotary blades and inner rotary blades provided in a rotary supporting member, thereby rotating the rotary supporting member. Moreover, the tap water falling on a mesh member held by a mesh member holding portion flows over a front surface and a back surface of the mesh member based on a centrifugal force due to rotation of the mesh member and removes medicinal fluid residue deposited on the mesh member. The medicinal fluid residue removed from the mesh member is directly carried by the tap water and discharged to the outside of the thin plate member washing apparatus through a fluid outlet opening.
