Radial bearing 23 is made of a plurality of ejiction openings 230 to the axle center of rotating shaft 21 ejection air on the inner peripheral surface of housing 22, and these ejiction openings 230 are communicated with air flow channel 25.
On the other hand, thrust bearing 24 is by constituting with the lower part: support plate 240, and itself and rotating shaft 21 form as one, and have the first plate face 240a and the second plate face 240b with the axle center quadrature of rotating shaft 21; First support portion 241, it sprays air from ejiction opening 241a to the first plate face 240a of support plate 240, and supports the first plate face 240a by this air; And second support portion 242, it to the second plate face 240b of support plate 240 ejection air, and supports the second plate face 240b by this air from ejiction opening 242a.
Support plate 240 is bigger than the diameter of the column part of rotating shaft 21, and forms discoideusly, also relatively makes diameter become big in the interior week of housing 22 therewith.And the diameter in interior week of housing 22 becomes big part, is formed with ejiction opening 241a, 242a to vertical direction (axis direction of rotating shaft 21) ejection pressure-air.Ejiction opening 241a, 242a are communicated with air flow channel 25, and are communicated with not shown pressure-air supply source by air flow channel 25.First support portion 241 and second support portion 242 be supporting rotating shaft 21 in the axial direction by supporting support plate 240.
On first support portion 241, be equipped with the first corresponding output link 26 at interval, this first at interval corresponding output link 26 be used to measure interval between the lower surface 241b of the first plate face 240a and first support portion 241.On the other hand, on second support portion 242, be equipped with the second corresponding output link 27 at interval, this second at interval corresponding output link 27 be used to measure interval between the upper surface 242b of the second plate face 240b and second support portion 242.
As the corresponding output link 27 of the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second interval, for example, can use the electrostatic transducer of output and the corresponding voltage of variation of electrostatic capacitance, the information such as voltage that interval D between the upper surface 242b of the lower surface 241b of output and first support portion 241 and the interval D 1 between the first plate face 240a, second support portion 242 and the second plate face 240b 2 is corresponding.This output is being carried out all the time.Have again, in examples shown, have corresponding output link 26,27 at interval on first support portion 241 and second support portion 242 respectively, only on the either party of first support portion 241 or second support portion 242, have corresponding output link at interval but also can constitute.
As shown in Figure 1, the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second corresponding output link 27 at interval is electrically connected with load change detection means 28, and the information of exporting from the corresponding output link 27 of the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second interval always is transferred into load change detection means 28.Load change detection means 28 has CPU, memory etc., load change detection means 28 will from first at interval corresponding output link 26 and second at interval the value of the voltage that sends of corresponding output link 27 etc. be stored in the memory, and this stored voltage value and up-to-date magnitude of voltage are compared, under the different situation of two sides value, be judged as interval D shown in Figure 21, D2 variation, variation has taken place in the load that is applied on the rotating shaft 21.
Load change detection means 28 is connected with control member 5, in control member 5, according to the judged result in the load change detection means 28, come 41 pairs of grinding members of control impuls motor 3 to carry out grinding and feeding, make from the value of the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second at interval corresponding output link 27 outputs to keep constant FEEDBACK CONTROL.
The action of the grinding attachment 1 during to grinding wafer describes, and on maintenance face 20, the state that exposes with the back side keeps the wafer W as the grinding object.Then, the horizontal direction of this wafer W by chuck table 2 move to grinding member 3 under.
Then, under the control of control member 5, thereby drive motor 35 makes main shaft 30 rotations make 34 rotations of grinding grinding stone, and the pulse motor 41 of driving formation grinding and feeding member 4 descends grinding member 3.Under grinding grinding stone 34 state that contact wafer W ground does not rotate, interval D shown in Figure 21 and interval D 2 are remained equal value (for example 10 μ m).
On the other hand, when grinding member 3 descend make rotation grinding grinding stone 34 contact wafers the back side, when 34 pairs of wafer W of grinding grinding stone apply pressing force and come this back side of grinding, to the rotating shaft 21 that constitutes chuck table mechanism 2 imposed load downwards, so the value of interval D 1 increases to for example 11 μ m, the value of interval D 2 is reduced to for example 9 μ m.The value of keeping interval D 1 be the value of 11 μ m, interval D 2 be 9 μ m state during, carry out under the situation of grinding based on suitable load thinking, as long as grinding member 3 is slowly descended.This moment from the at interval corresponding output link 26 and second at interval the value (hereinafter referred to as " normal value ") of the output of corresponding output link 27 be stored in the load change detection means 28.
When continuing grinding, be that the value of 13 μ m, interval D 2 is 7 μ m for example in the value of interval D 1, the difference of two values becomes under the big situation, from first at interval corresponding output link 26 and second at interval the value of the output of corresponding output link 27 also change, load change detection means 28 recognizes this variation.At this moment, control member 5 carries out the control of grinding and feeding member 4 so that from first at interval corresponding output link 26 and second at interval the value of the output of corresponding output link 27 get back to normal value.Specifically, before the measured value of the corresponding output link 27 of the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second interval is got back to normal value, control member 5 slows down by making the feed speed based on the grinding member 3 of the driving of pulse motor 41, weakens the pressure to wafer W.By continuing such control, from first at interval corresponding output link 26 and second at interval the value of the output of corresponding output link 27 get back to normal value.And load change detection means 28 is also proceeded same supervision afterwards, makes the output from the corresponding output link 27 of the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second interval be maintained normal value.
Like this, by being provided in the corresponding output link 26 in first interval on first support portion 241, the corresponding output link 27 in second interval being provided on second support portion 242, variation with test load, can do not make pressing force act directly on first at interval corresponding output link 26 and second adjust pressure at interval under the situation on the corresponding output link 27 to wafer W.Therefore, the first corresponding output link 26 in interval and second corresponding output link 27 at interval can not carry out malfunction, can improve reliability, and because fault reduces, changes the frequency reduction, therefore very economical.
Have again,, except corresponding output link at interval, also can use the transducer that can send laser etc. and obtain distance according to the time till its reverberation arrival as corresponding output link 26,27 at interval.Under this situation, in the corresponding output link 26,27 in interval, can directly obtain interval D 1, D2.Therefore, as long as the operator imports the limiting value of the interval D 1 that needs the load adjustment, D2 in advance and is stored in the load change detection means 28, when the value at the interval that can recognize in the corresponding output link 26,27 in interval reaches the limiting value of storage in advance, utilize control member 5 to carry out the adjustment of grinding and feeding member 4.
In addition, even corresponding output link 26,27 can not directly be obtained under the situation of interval D 1, D2 at the interval, as long as the corresponding relation between the voltage of interval and output is stored in the load change detection means 28 in advance, can need the interval D 1 of load adjustment, the limiting value of D2 to come suitably control load by direct input and storage with above-mentioned the same ground.Have again, if the corresponding relation between the value of interval D 1, D2 and load also is stored in the load change detection means 28, then by importing the load limitation value that needs load control by the operator in advance and it being stored in the load change detection means 28, also can carry out based on the direct control that whether surpasses the limiting value of load.
