    摘要: A substrate polishing apparatus wherein a semiconductor substrate is held by a top ring 10-2 or 11-2 and is pressed against a polishing surface of a polishing table 10-1 or 10-2. A surface to be polished of the semiconductor substrate is polished by a relative movement between the semiconductor substrate and the polishing surface. The apparatus includes a pressing force changing mechanism for changing a pressing force for pressing the semiconductor substrate, a relative movement seed changing mechanism for changing the number of revolutions of the top ring and/or the polishing table, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism performs the polishing through plural polishing processes on the polishing table 10-1 or 10-2 while changing the pressing force and the number of revolutions.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate having a Cu layer formed so as to fill wiring grooves formed in the substrate surface and to cover regions of the substrate surface where no wiring groove is formed is brought into sliding contact with a polishing surface on a turntable to carry out polishing until the Cu layer is polished to a predetermined thickness. Then, the semiconductor substrate is brought into sliding contact with a polishing surface on a turntable to carry out polishing until the Cu layer on the substrate surface is removed, except for portions of the Cu layer formed to fill the wiring grooves, and a barrier metal layer is also removed. Thus, the Cu layer on the substrate surface can be removed uniformly, and the Cu wiring portions formed in the wiring grooves can be planarly and uniformly polished without giving rise to problems of over-polishing such as dishing or erosion.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for polishing a workpiece are set forth which can polish the workpiece at a constant rate at a stable condition even when plural workpieces are continually polished. The method comprises dressing a polishing surface of a polishing table while supplying a dressing solution. After the dressing, the dressing solution remaining on the polishing surface is removed by rotating the polishing table at a dewatering rotation speed while stopping the supply of the dressing solution. Then, the workpiece is polished by making the workpiece slidingly contact with the polishing surface while supplying a polishing solution to the polishing surface.

    摘要: A polishing pad enables efficient removal of a polishing product and an “old polishing liquid” remaining on a surface (polishing surface) or in through-holes of a polishing pad. The polishing pad has a polishing surface and a plurality of through-holes extending in the thickness direction, which communicate with each other by communication grooves. The through-holes have a diameter of, e.g., 2 to 5 mm. The aperture ratio of the through-holes is, e.g., 10 to 50% of the surface area of the polishing surface of the polishing pad. The depth of the communication grooves is, e.g., 40 to 60% of the thickness of the polishing pad. The width of the communication grooves is, e.g., 10 to 50% of the diameter of the through-holes.
