  • Patent number: 7252099
    Abstract: A wafer cleaning apparatus with multiple wash-heads is applied in chemical and mechanical polishing process after wafer cleaning. The wafer cleaning apparatus device includes a supporting base, which supporting base comprises a driving device and at least one fluid pipe. A rotation module is also included in the wafer cleaning apparatus. The top side of the rotation module is connected with the driving device. Besides, the rotation module comprises multiple wash-heads and at least one nozzle. The bottom side of wash-head here is contacted with the surface of the wafer. By using driving device, the rotation module can be wholly driven. Also, multiple wash-heads can rotate individually along a cleaning path for cleaning wafer. The fluid was jetted from nozzle and assistant to clean wafer through fluid pipe. The prior art of single wafer wash-head is easily to reform a cleaning dead angle in wafer cleaning process.

  • Patent number: 6920796
    Abstract: A device used for detecting the clamping force of a processed object and a method thereof are proposed. The device comprises a detection unit, a basis component and a pressure detection component disposed on the basis component. The basis component having the pressure detection component is closely placed between pivotal rods so that the detection unit can detect variation of electric properties of the pressure detection component to adjust the spacing between the pivotal rods, hence facilitating adjustment of the clamping force.

    Abstract: A polishing pad showing intrinsic abrasion automatically during processing. In the pad of the present invention, a polishing substrate has a first surface, a first index a first predetermined distance from the first surface, a second index a second predetermined distance from the first surface, and a third index a third predetermined distance from the first surface, wherein the third predetermined distance exceeds the second predetermined distance, and the second predetermined distance exceeds the first predetermined distance. The polishing pad shows the first pattern when abrasion from the first surface exceeds the first predetermined distance, and shows the first and second patterns when abrasion from the first surface exceeds the second predetermined distance. The first, second and third patterns appear when abrasion from the first surface exceeds the third predetermined distance.
