摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a polishing pad for a semiconductor wafer and a laminated body for polishing of a semiconductor wafer equipped with the same which can perform optical endpoint detection without lowering the polishing performance as well as methods for polishing of a semiconductor wafer using them. The polishing pad of the present invention comprises a substrate 11 for a polishing pad provided with a through hole penetrating from surface to back, a light transmitting part 12 fitted in the through hole, the light transmitting part comprises a water-insoluble matrix material (1,2-polybutadiene) and a water-soluble particle (β-cyclodextrin) dispersed in the water-insoluble matrix material, and the water-soluble particle is less than 5% by volume based on 100% by volume of the total amount of the water-insoluble matrix material and the water-soluble particle. In addition, the laminated body for polishing of the present invention comprises a supporting layer on a backside of the polishing pad. These polishing pad and laminated body for polishing can comprise a fixing layer 13 on a backside.
