    摘要: A polishing apparatus is used for polishing a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer to a flat mirror finish. The polishing apparatus has a pusher for transferring the workpiece between a top ring of a polishing apparatus and the pusher. The polishing apparatus includes a turntable having a polishing surface, a top ring for supporting the workpiece to be polished and pressing the workpiece against the polishing surface, and a pusher for transferring the workpiece between the top ring and the pusher. The pusher comprises a workpiece support for supporting the workpiece, an actuating unit for moving the workpiece support in a vertical direction, a sliding mechanism movable within a horizontal plane, and a positioning mechanism for positioning the workpiece support and the top ring with respect to each other in association with the sliding mechanism when the workpiece is transferred between the workpiece support and the top ring.

    摘要: A substrate holding mechanism, a substrate polishing apparatus and a substrate polishing method have functions capable of minimizing an amount of heat generated during polishing of a substrate to be polished and of effectively cooling a substrate holding part of the substrate holding mechanism, and also capable of effectively preventing a polishing solution and polishing dust from adhering to an outer peripheral portion of the substrate holding part and drying thereon. The substrate holding mechanism has a mounting flange, a support member 6 and a retainer ring. A substrate to be polished is held on a lower side of the support member surrounded by the retainer ring, and the substrate is pressed against a polishing surface of a polishing table. The mounting flange is provided with a flow passage contiguous with at least the retainer ring. A temperature-controlled gas is supplied through the flow passage to cool the mounting flange, the support member and the retainer ring. The retainer ring is provided with a plurality of through-holes communicating with the flow passage to spray the gas flowing through the flow passage onto the polishing surface of the polishing table.
