    Abstract: A polishing apparatus includes a rotatable head body having a pressing surface, a retainer ring configured to press a polishing surface while rotating together with the head body, a stationary ring, local load applying devices configured to apply a local load to the stationary ring, and a controller. The local load applying devices include a first pressing member and a second pressing member connected to the stationary ring. The first pressing member is disposed in the upstream side of the retainer ring in the traveling direction of the polishing surface, and the second pressing member is disposed in the downstream side. The controller calculates the inclination angle of the stationary ring based on a measured value of the height of at least one of the first pressing member and the second pressing member.

    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is an information processing apparatus that determines a polishing recipe based on area response data acquired by changing a pressure for each area in a polishing head, the apparatus including an irregularity-presence-or-absence estimation unit that estimates and outputs whether an irregularity is present using new area response data as an input, a screening unit estimates and outputs, when the irregularity-presence-or-absence estimation unit estimates that an irregularity is present, area response data after the removal of the irregularity using area response data estimated that an irregularity is present as an input, and a simulation unit that determines a polishing recipe by simulation based on area response data estimated by the irregularity-presence-or-absence estimation unit that no irregularity is present or a response for each area after the removal of the irregularity estimated by the screening unit.

    Abstract: A polishing apparatus includes a polishing table for supporting a polishing pad and a substrate holding device for pressing a substrate against the polishing pad. The substrate holding device includes an elastic film to form multiple pressure chambers to press the substrate, and a pressure control unit controlling pressure of the pressure chambers. The pressure control unit includes a first flow path connected to a first pressure chamber, and first and second pressure regulation mechanisms. The pressure control unit performs switching control from first pressure regulation mechanism to second pressure regulation mechanism when a set pressure within first pressure chamber reaches a first threshold value. Then, the pressure control unit performs switching control from second pressure regulation mechanism to first pressure regulation mechanism when the set pressure within the first pressure chamber reaches a second threshold value lower than the first threshold value.
