    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: A polishing apparatus capable of preventing wear of rollers which are to transmit a load to a retainer ring and capable of preventing wear particles from escaping outside is disclosed. The polishing apparatus includes: a retainer ring disposed so as to surround the substrate and configured to press the polishing surface while rotating together with a head body; a rotary ring secured to the retainer ring and configured to rotate together with the retainer ring; a stationary ring disposed on the rotary ring; and a local-load exerting device configured to apply a local load to a part of the retainer ring through the rotary ring and the stationary ring. The rotary ring has rollers which are in contact with the stationary ring.

    摘要: A substrate holding apparatus and a polishing apparatus which can reduce vibrations of a top ring in its entirety by damping vibrations transmitted from a retaining ring to a top ring body is disclosed. The substrate holding apparatus includes a top ring body having a substrate holding surface configured to hold and press a substrate against a polishing surface, a retaining ring configured to surround the substrate and to contact the polishing surface, and a drive ring comprising a ring member configured to hold the retaining ring on a lower surface thereof, a central member disposed at a central part of the top ring body and supported by the top ring body, and a connecting portion configured to connect the ring member and the central member. The drive ring includes a first material and a second material having a modulus of longitudinal elasticity smaller than the first material.
