Abstract

A lapping/polishing machine has been newly designed and constructed to produce precise flat surfaces efficiently. The machine can control the shape of a base plate to within a few microns by varying pressure distribution and rotating speed. Stable floating and vibration suppression to less than 1 μm for the base plate are attained by using hydrodynamic bearings. Accurate and large loading are also attained by using parallel leaf springs. The base plate surface is lapped within a few microns by controlling the pressure distribution. In silicon wafer polishing, work plates are deformed due to polishing heat. Therefore, two-layer discs with a larger coefficient of thermal expansion in the upper layer were used. As a result, it has been proved that highly accurate polishing may be attained efficiently by using the machine
