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 device is provided to suppress deterioration in reproducibility of a polishing profile due to a variation or change with time of a shape of a retaining ring of a substrate holding member for each of retaining rings. The polishing device includes: a polishing head configured to press a substrate against a polishing pad and have a retainer ring surrounding the substrate pressed against the polishing pad; a measurement sensor configured to measure a surface shape of the retainer ring; and a controller configured to determine a polishing condition of the substrate based on the surface shape of the retainer ring measured by the measurement sensor.

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.
