    摘要: A polishing apparatus capable of increasing an added value is disclosed. The polishing apparatus includes a polishing table configured to support a polishing pad, a top ring configured to press a substrate against the polishing pad, and a liquid supply mechanism configured to supply a liquid onto the polishing pad. The liquid supply mechanism includes a nozzle arm configured to be movable in a radial direction of the polishing table, and a liquid ejection nozzle attached to the nozzle arm. The liquid ejection nozzle is a fan-shaped nozzle having a liquid throttle surface having a tapered shape.

    摘要: There is provided a polishing apparatus capable of detecting uneven wear occurring on a polishing pad and detecting an appropriate replacement timing of the polishing pad. The polishing apparatus detects, every predetermined time, a value of rotation speed or a value of rotation torque of a table drive shaft for rotationally driving a polishing table or a dresser drive shaft for driving a dresser, or a value of swing torque of a dresser swing shaft for driving the dresser; calculates a change quantity thereof based on the value of the detected rotation speed, the value of the detected rotation torque, or the value of the detected swing torque; determines whether or not the change quantity exceeds a predetermined value; and notifies a user of a warning when a determination is made that the change quantity exceeds the predetermined value.

    摘要: The invention suppresses generation of noises attributable to rotation of a rotary joint. A rotary joint includes a rotating body that rotates on a rotating axis A, a housing disposed so as to surround the rotating body, and at least one bearing disposed between the rotating body and the housing and adapted to support rotation of the rotating body. The rotary joint supplies fluids through fluid connection ports formed in the housing and fluid passages formed inside the rotating body to a polishing table having attached thereto a polishing pad for polishing a substrate or a holding portion that is adapted to hold the substrate while pressing the substrate against the polishing pad. At least one elastic member is interposed at least either between the rotating body and the at least one bearing or between the housing and the at least one bearing.
