摘要: A substrate holding apparatus is used for holding a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer in a polishing apparatus for polishing and planarizing the substrate. The substrate holding apparatus includes an elastic membrane, a top ring body for holding the elastic membrane, and a plurality of pressure chambers partitioned by at least one partition wall of the elastic membrane. The substrate is held by a lower surface of the elastic membrane and pressed against the polishing surface with a fluid pressure by supplying a pressurized fluid to the pressure chambers. The substrate holding apparatus further include a stopper configured to limit the inflation of the elastic membrane by being brought into contact with a part of the partition wall of the elastic membrane or an extending member extending from a rear surface of the elastic membrane whose surface serves as a substrate holding surface.

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: A substrate holder capable of preventing an increase in a polishing rate of an edge portion of a substrate, even when polishing a plurality of substrates successively, is disclosed. The substrate holder includes: a top ring body configured to hold the substrate; and a retaining ring disposed so as to surround the substrate held by the top ring body. The retaining ring includes a pad pressing structure in an annular shape which is to be brought into contact with the polishing pad, and the pad pressing structure has a width in a range of 3 mm to 7.5 mm.

摘要: A polishing apparatus which can allow easy replacement of a retainer ring and can allow the retainer ring to be secured to a drive ring without causing deformation of the retainer ring is disclosed. The polishing head includes a head body having a substrate contact surface, a drive ring coupled to the head body, and a retainer ring surrounding the substrate contact surface and coupled to the drive ring. A first screw thread is formed on the drive ring, a second screw thread, which engages with the first screw thread, is formed on the retainer ring. The second screw thread extends in a circumferential direction of the retainer ring.

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.
