The present invention claims priority benefits from Chinese patent application No. 201610406771.X, titled “Double-Face Polishing Device And Method Capable Of Controlling Rigidity Of Polishing Pad Through Cluster Dynamic Magnetic Field”, filed with Chinese Patent Office on Jun. 8, 2016, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a double-face polishing device and method capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field, which are particularly applicable to plane planarization machining of the photoelectronic/microelectronic semiconductor substrates and the optical elements, belonging to the technical field of super-precision machining.
Microelectronic and photoelectronic manufacture represented by integrated circuit (IC) and photoelectronic devices manufacture is the core of the electronic and information industry, which is also an industry in the whole world that is under the most severe competition and highest development speed. Monocrystal silicon (Si), monocrystal germanium (Ge), gallium arsenide (GaAs), monocrystal silicon carbide (SiC), sapphire (Al2O3) and the like are used as substrate materials of the integrated power electronic devices and photoelectronic devices. Super-flat, super-smooth (with a roughness Ra of less than 0.3 nm), defect-free and damage-free surfaces are desired. The machining quality directly determines application value and performance of the devices. Likewise, in the optical field, optical lenses and mirrors are core elements of the optical devices. For a better optical performance, the surface precision thereof also needs to reach a super-smooth degree (with a roughness Ra less than 1 nm), and a higher requirement is also imposed on the surface figure thereof (with a shape precision less than 0.5 micron).
At present, planarization machining of the planar optical elements and semiconductor substrates mainly employs the traditional milling, end-face precision grinding, super-precision polishing, chemical mechanical polishing, magnetorheological polishing, and the like. The magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a new optical surface machining method proposed by KORDOSKI and his collaborators, in combination of electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, analytical chemistry, machining processing technique and the like. The MRF achieves a good polishing effect, causes no sub-surface damage, and is applicable to complicated surface machining and the like which dwarfs the traditional polishing technique. Therefore, the MFR has been developed into a revolutionary optical surface machining method, which is particularly applicable to super-precision machining of axisymmetric aspheric surfaces, and has been widely applied to the final machining process of large-size optical elements, semiconductor chips, LED substrates, liquid crystal display panels and the like. However, at present, when planar workpieces are machined by using the magnetorheological finishing method, various models of magnetorheological machine tools developed by QED which is a corporation from the United States, are mainly used. The working principle lies in that a workpiece is placed above an arc-shaped polishing disk, a recessed gap is formed between the workpiece surface and the polishing disk, a magnetic induction strength adjustable electromagnet magnetic pole or a permanent magnet magnetic pole is arranged below the polishing disk, such that a high-strength gradient magnetic field is formed at the recessed gap, and the magnetorheological fluid moves with polishing disk and moves to the vicinity of the gap formed between the workpiece and the polishing disk, which forms a flexible projected “polishing ribbon” through which the surface material of the workpiece is removed. Based on this, the scholars abroad have developed the ball end magnetorheological finishing (BEMRF), magnetorheological abrasive flow finishing (MRAFF), magnetic compound fluid slurry polishing (MCF) and the like new technologies, which all achieve a very good effect on super-precision machining of the photoelectric crystal substrates. However, these methods all use the “polishing ribbon” to remove the surface material of the workpiece. The “polishing ribbon” is in “dot” partial contact with the surface of the workpiece. During machining of the planar workpiece, the entire surface may be machined only by controlling the “dot” to regularly perform trajectory scanning along the surface of the workpiece. The trajectory scanning takes a lot of time, and thus the efficiency is low, and the shape machining precision may not be definitely ensured. In addition, it is reported that the current magnetorheological finishing machining is only used in single-face machining of the workpiece.

As seen from the above technical solutions, embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:
In the double-face polishing device capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field according to the present invention, firstly, by means of smartly utilizing the feature of quick magnetization and demagnetization of the soft magnetic material, and the feature that the magnetic field is weak in the middle and the magnetic fields at two ends are stronger in a strip-shaped permanent magnet, a parallelogram clamping mechanism having a weak magnetic pole as a primer quickly clamps the workpiece in a closed space.
Secondly, the present invention innovatively uses the opposing movement mechanism to control the distances from the magnetic field generating blocks on two sides to the workpiece to be equal to each other; when the magnetorheological fluid enters the working tank, and a viscoelastic magnetorheological effect polishing pad having equal pressures on the two sides and causing constraint and aggregation on the abrasive behaviors is formed, which ensures smooth double-face polishing of the workpiece. In addition, it is innovative to implement the swinging of the deflection spindle via the eccentric camshaft structure, and the swinging of the deflection spindle implements rotation of a plurality of eccentric camshafts having the same eccentricity, such that a plurality of close arrays of permanent magnets simultaneously rotate to cause the static magnetic field line of the end face of the magnetic pole to transform into an intersecting dynamic magnetic field line which enables the flexible polishing pad fouled by the magnetorheological fluid to be dynamically distributed. In this way, the rigidity of the flexible polishing pad is lowered and the properties of the flexible polishing pad are recovered.
During machining, by symmetrically adjusting the distance from the end face of the variable-rigidity cluster magnetically-controlled polishing pad generating mechanism to surfaces of the workpiece, the entire process from double-face rough finishing to precision finishing of the workpiece may be completed via one-time machining. The complicated movement trajectory is acquired for the workpiece by a combination of the horizontal linear motor and the vertical linear motor. This prevents the problem that during the machining, the workpiece finishing is not uniform due to inconsistent relative speeds between different positions of the workpiece and the polishing pad.
In addition, the double-face polishing device capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field according to the present invention is applicable to common magnetorheological double-face polishing and magnetorheological chemical mechanical double-face polishing. The desired magnetorheological fluid only needs to be filled to an extremely tiny closed working space, which greatly reduces the cost of the consumable materials. It is apparent that the present invention acquires good workpiece surface consistence, achieves a high machining efficiency, causes no surface and sub-surface damages, and has a low cost, which is thus very applicable to high-efficiency super-smooth planar uniform polishing and finishing of optical elements having a greater diameter.

In the double-face polishing device capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field according to the present invention, firstly, by means of smartly utilizing the feature of quick magnetization and demagnetization of the soft magnetic material, and the feature that the magnetic field is weak in the middle and the magnetic fields at two ends are stronger in a strip-shaped permanent magnet, a parallelogram clamping mechanism having a weak magnetic pole as a primer quickly clamps the workpiece in a closed space. Secondly, the present invention innovatively uses a staggered symmetric arrangement structure of the magnetic poles to implement pressure balance of the workpiece by the polishing pad, and to implement the swinging of the deflection spindle via the eccentric camshaft structure. The swinging of the deflection spindle implements rotation of a plurality of eccentric camshafts having the same eccentricity, such that a plurality of close arrays of permanent magnets simultaneously rotate to cause the static magnetic field line of the end face of the magnetic pole to transform into an intersecting dynamic magnetic field line which enables the flexible polishing pad formed by the magnetorheological fluid to be dynamically distributed. In this way, the rigidity of the flexible polishing pad is lowered and the properties of the flexible polishing pad are recovered. During machining, by symmetrically adjusting the distance from the end face of the variable-rigidity cluster magnetically-controlled polishing pad generating mechanism to the workpiece, the entire process from double-face rough finishing to precision finishing of the workpiece may be completed via one-time machining. The complicated movement trajectory is acquired for the workpiece by a combination of the horizontal linear motor and the vertical linear motor. This prevents the problem that during the machining, the workpiece finishing is not uniform due to inconsistent relative speeds between different positions of the workpiece and the polishing pad. In addition, the double-face polishing device capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field according to the present invention is applicable to common magnetorheological double-face polishing and magnetorheological chemical mechanical double-face polishing. The desired magnetorheological fluid only needs to be filled to an extremely tiny closed working space, which greatly reduces the cost of the consumable materials. It is apparent that the present invention acquires good workpiece surface consistence, achieves a high machining efficiency, causes no surface and sub-surface damages, and has a low cost, which is thus very applicable to high-efficiency super-smooth planar uniform polishing and finishing of optical elements having a greater diameter.
Described above illustrate in detail the double-face polishing device and method capable of controlling rigidity of a polishing pad through a cluster dynamic magnetic field according to the present invention. Persons of ordinary skill in the art would make modifications to the specific embodiments and application scope without departing from the idea of the embodiments of the present invention. In conclusion, the specification of the present invention shall not be construed as limiting the present invention.
