The radius of the curved region 404 is R1. For example, the radius (R1) ranges from 5 mm to infinity (flat surface). Appropriate radius value. The radius R1 provides flexibility in the treatment of the film of the abrasive substrate type. The tangency is tangential to the junction of the flat region 420 and the curved region 404. The width of the lift contact 406 is 0 to 50 mm. The width can be applied. The width of the tangent joint provides another control of the width of the base to be ground. Figure B, providing the backsheet 3 shown in Figure 5A is further described in Figure 5B, the control of the contour of the film 1 16 on the edge of the substrate tangentially connected to the shape of the junction 4 0 6 . The grinding profile can be a shape that is produced when the film 1 16 is removed. The shape of the edge of the substrate to be ground is 104 4 by controlling the shape of the starting and ending angles of the curved portion. The width of the edge of the substrate to be ground can be controlled. Π 0 partially or completely removes the 0 to the contoured film 117. Other suitable removal areas may be applied. As described above, the tangential contact 406 may be located at the junction of the flat area 404. The curved area 404 may Contact the main (or top) surface of the substrate 1 〇 2. As shown here, the bending zone: the part of the main surface 102 is completely removed from the film 1 16 . The flat surface can also contact the main surface of the substrate edge 104. The thinner on 0 2 can only partially remove the film 1 16 . The tangential joint 4 0 6 field 404 is applied to the parallel plate of the flat region 402 in contact with the surface of the film 116, and the back plate 3 1 6 can be applied to other The difference between 1 00 and 4 0 6 is a graphical representation of other suitable material edges 1 0 4 1 6 .

The shape of the tangent joint 4〇6 provides control of the contour of the edge., Turning to Figure 6A' provides another illustration of the backing plate 5〇〇 according to the present invention. Fe embodiment. In the embodiment shown here, the surface of the backing plate 5 has a spherical shape or contour of flat beta. Unlike the backing plate 316 of Figure 5A, the spherical shape of the % plate 500 shown here can be perpendicular to the plane of the backing plate and the half ❹R2 ° @言' vertical direction allows the lining 3 1 8 (and/or the grinding tape) The backing surface 502 is contacted with the 'or polishing pad' at all times during the grinding. The range of values for R2 is, for example, 5 () 匪 to 5 (10), depending on the backsheet, the second belt and/or the abrasive 塾 characteristics.彳 Apply other appropriate values. Backplane: The smooth-curved surface of surface 502 can also provide a smooth film wheel: a is converted from a sharp corner (Fig. 5a) to a smooth bend/f, from the shape of the tangent joint 4〇6, _ — 6 A)) The contour of the diaphragm 1 16 may have sharp or tapered edges. For example, the 5' backsheets 316, 5 can be made of a plurality of materials (such as metal and plastic). Other materials can be applied to the #3 1 ό, 5 〇 〇 material factory. For forming a backing sheet, for example, the type of surgery depends on the type of film 116 to be ground. It is as strong as tantalum nitride, so the backing plate 316, 500 J Tianjian: solid material 〇 another _ (for example, metal, etc.) to improve the grinding efficiency. In terms of softness, the domain 1 16 (for example, an amorphous carbon film) requires the application of a moon plate 316, 500 composed of a plastic material to avoid damage to the substrate 100. In some target applications, the pad is blown, and the alpha surface can be further covered by the pad to further reduce the local pressure, and to provide compliance with the desired film profile. Turn to Figure 6 to provide an illustration of the backplane 5〇〇 shown in Figure 6. 15 200908123 As shown here, the surface of the backing plate 500 has a smooth spherical surface. Therefore, unlike the thin curved outline formed by the tangent joint 406 as shown in Fig. 5, the back is smooth. The film 1 0 6 produced by the plate 100 is smooth and shows a smooth bending change and a gradually decreasing edge turn. FIG. 7 depicts a schematic cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the backing plate 600 according to the present invention. . The backplane 600 shown here can be tangential joints 602a, 602b. As shown at the shape of the other backing plate 600, the top surface of the backing plate 604 can include a flat region 606 between the tangent joints 60 2 a and 60 2 b. For example, the length or width of the flat area is approximately 50 mm. Other modalities can be applied. The smaller flat area 604 causes a greater local pressure on the film 1 16 and the substrate side (Fig. 1). The smaller flat area 60 4 is aligned with the backing plate 600 at the edge of the substrate 104 (and thus aligned with the liner, or polishing pad). The larger flat area 604 width may result in a more effective liner 318, abrasive belt and/or polishing pad because of the larger surface contact film 1 16 and substrate edge 104. The different advantages associated with larger and smaller flats provide the flexibility to optimize processing depending on the particular film desired and the desired profile. Turning to Figure 8, a flow chart depicting the method 800 of grinding the edge of the substrate 104 is provided. In step S 8 0 2, an appropriate backing plate is selected to be attached or coupled to the polishing head 3 14 . A suitable backsheet can be the backsheet 3 16 that is used to produce the desired film profile. In step S 8 0 4, the pendulum and end angles are selected. As described above, the swing start and end angles can show a path of 3 16 movement. For example, if the swing start angle is zero degree and the shape. The outline of the film 116 〇 includes two examples. The long edge 104 thus depicted at 606 can also be used to promote the use of the film in the region of the film. 3 1 6 and the specific motion start does not oscillate the knot 16 200908123 beam angle is 15 °, when the back When the plate 3 16 contacts the film 1 16 , it oscillates in a path of 0 to 15 °. In step S108, the backing plate 3 16 contacts and applies force to the pad 3 18, the abrasive tape and/or the polishing pad. In step S80 (e.g., when the substrate is rotated), the backing plate 316 contacts the substrate edge 104 through the liner 318, the abrasive tape and/or the polishing pad to create a particular film 1 16 profile.
