摘要:
A polishing method can automatically reset polishing conditions according to a state of a polishing member based on data on a polishing profile changing with time, thereby extending life of the polishing member and obtaining flatness of a polished surface with higher accuracy. The polishing method, includes steps of: independently applying a desired pressure by each of pressing portions of a top ring on a polishing object; estimating a polishing profile of the polishing object based on set pressure values, and calculating a recommended polishing pressure value so that a difference between the polishing profile of the polishing object after it is polished under certain polishing conditions and a desired polishing profile becomes smaller; and polishing the polishing object with the recommended polishing pressure value.

摘要:
A polishing apparatus (30) has a polishing surface (32), a top ring (36) for holding a wafer (W), motors (46, 56) to move the polishing surface (32) and the wafer (W) relative to each other at a relative speed, and a vertical movement mechanism (54) to press the wafer (W) against the polishing surface (32) under a pressing pressure. The polishing apparatus (30) also has a controller (44) to adjust a polishing condition in a non-Preston range in which a polishing rate is not proportional to a product of the pressing pressure and the relative speed. The polishing apparatus (30) can simultaneously achieve uniform supply of a chemical liquid to a surface of the wafer (W) and a uniform polishing rate within the surface of the wafer (W).

摘要:
A method of dressing a polishing member with a diamond dresser having diamond particles arranged on a surface thereof is provided. The method includes determining dressing conditions by performing a simulation of a distribution of a sliding distance of the diamond dresser on a surface of the polishing member, and dressing the polishing member with the diamond dresser under the dressing conditions determined. The simulation includes calculation of the sliding distance corrected in accordance with a depth of the diamond particles thrusting into the polishing member.
