Abstract

Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) is a new optical surface processing method, which has the advantages that good polishing effect, no subsurface damage, and suitable for complex surface processing. However, the interaction mechanism between the MRF pad and the workpiece is very complicated, so that the existing MRF material removal theoretical model is not accurate enough to establish the relationship between polishing parameters and material removal. In order to improve the processing efficiency and explore the material removal mechanism, a cluster magnetorheological finishing (CMRF) with dynamic magnetic fields method was proposed. Studying CMRF with dynamic magnetic fields material removal model is helpful to explain the removal mechanism more deeply, and improve the processing efficiency. In this study, the CMRF method was used to conduct a multi-factor orthogonal test on 2-inch single crystal silicon wafers. Based on the empirical Preston equation, the relationship between the machining gap and the polishing pressure was explained. Orthogonal experiments were done for a series of speeds, and obtaining the order of the influence of various factors on the average surface roughness <i>Ra</i> of the workpiece was: workpiece rotation speed > polishing disk speed > magnetic poles rotation speed > oscillating speed; the material removal rate (<i>MRR</i>) was: polishing disk speed > workpiece rotation speed > magnetic poles rotation speed > oscillating speed. Then combining with the orthogonal experimental data, and taking the surface roughness <i>Ra</i> and <i>MRR</i> as evaluation criteria, using Adam (Adaptive momentum) optimization algorithm to build a prediction model of <i>Ra</i> and <i>MRR</i> for polishing single crystal silicon by CMRF with dynamic magnetic fields based on BP neural network. For the prediction result, <i>Ra</i> of the maximum error was 7.05%, the minimum was 0.31%; <i>MRR</i> of the maximum error was 10.22%, the minimum was 1.32%. Therefore, the feasibility of this model for predicting the results of CMRF was verified, and it laid a good foundation for the development of CMRF technology and its industrial application.

Highlights

  • Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) is a new optical surface processing method, which uses MRF fluid to generate magnetorheological effects under the action of magnetic fields to confine and clamp abrasives, thereby the abrasives change from a free state to a semi-fixed state [1,2]

  • Combining with the orthogonal experimental data, and taking the surface roughness Ra and material removal rate (MRR) as evaluation criteria, using Adam (Adaptive momentum) optimization algorithm to build a prediction model of material removal for polishing single crystal silicon by cluster magnetorheological finishing (CMRF) with dynamic magnetic fields based on BP neural network. The feasibility of this model for predicting the results of CMRF was verified, and it laid a good foundation for the development of CMRF technology and its industrial application

  • It can be seen that the four speeds have important effects on Ra and MRR, so these four factors were used as input parameters of CMRF with dynamic magnetic fields material removal model

Summary

Introduction

Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) is a new optical surface processing method, which uses MRF fluid to generate magnetorheological effects under the action of magnetic fields to confine and clamp abrasives, thereby the abrasives change from a free state to a semi-fixed state [1,2]. The method realizes the area contact between the polishing pad and the workpiece surface, so it can improve the processing efficiency and obtain nanoscale surface roughness [7] On this basis, the static magnetic fields are transformed into dynamic magnetic fields by means of multi-poles eccentric rotation, which realizes real-time trimming of the CMRF pad. The static magnetic fields are transformed into dynamic magnetic fields by means of multi-poles eccentric rotation, which realizes real-time trimming of the CMRF pad It is suitable for polishing single crystal silicon carbide, single crystal silicon, strontium titanate, indium phosphide and other semiconductor substrates, and can obtain surface roughness of nanometer or even angstrom level [8,9,10]
