    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: A substrate processing apparatus includes transport mechanisms 121a to 127a, a sensor 40 for detecting whether a wafer W is held by the transport mechanisms 121a to 127a, a sensor controller 82 for controlling the sensor 40, a position information acquiring part 81 for acquiring position information of the substrate W in the transport passage, a detection result acquiring part 83 for acquiring a detection result from the sensor 40, and a determination processor 84 for determining whether the detection result of the sensor and the position information are consistent with each other. When it is determined that the detection result of the sensor 40 is inconsistent with the position information, the sensor controller 82 makes the sensor 40 retry to detect whether the substrate W is held.

    摘要: A polishing apparatus which can continue stable operation of the apparatus without generating torsional vibration in a rotary joint and without generating an abnormal sound at an engagement part between a cooling water pipe and a polishing table is disclosed. The polishing apparatus includes a rotary joint fixed to a rotating part of the polishing table or a rotating part of the top ring to supply a fluid into the polishing table or the top ring and discharge the fluid from the polishing table or the top ring, and a rotation-prevention mechanism which connects the rotary joint with an apparatus frame to prevent the rotary joint from being rotated. The rotation-prevention mechanism includes a link mechanism having at least one spherical plain bearing.
