    摘要: An elastic membrane capable of precisely controlling a polishing profile in a narrow area of a wafer edge portion is disclosed. The elastic membrane includes a contact portion to be brought into contact with a substrate; a first edge circumferential wall extending upwardly from a peripheral edge of the contact portion; and a second edge circumferential wall having a horizontal portion connected to an inner circumferential surface of the first edge circumferential wall. The inner circumferential surface of the first edge circumferential wall includes an upper inner circumferential surface and a lower inner circumferential surface, both of which are perpendicular to the contact portion. The upper inner circumferential surface extends upwardly from the horizontal portion of the second edge circumferential wall, and the lower inner circumferential surface extends downwardly from the horizontal portion.

    摘要: An elastic member for use in a substrate holding apparatus includes an elastic member and a first reinforcing member. The first reinforcing member has a higher rigidity than the elastic membrane and reinforces substantially an entire area of the contact portion of the elastic membrane. The contact portion of the elastic member has a contact portion for contact with the substrate. The first peripheral wall portion of the elastic membrane is coupled to a peripheral end of the contact portion and extends upwardly. The second peripheral wall portion of the elastic member defines a first chamber on an outer side thereof and a second chamber on an inner side thereof. The first reinforcing member is embedded in substantially the entire area of the contact portion of the elastic membrane.

    摘要: A polishing apparatus includes a rotatable head body having a pressing surface, a retainer ring configured to press a polishing surface while rotating together with the head body, a stationary ring, local load applying devices configured to apply a local load to the stationary ring, and a controller. The local load applying devices include a first pressing member and a second pressing member connected to the stationary ring. The first pressing member is disposed in the upstream side of the retainer ring in the traveling direction of the polishing surface, and the second pressing member is disposed in the downstream side. The controller calculates the inclination angle of the stationary ring based on a measured value of the height of at least one of the first pressing member and the second pressing member.
