    摘要: A polishing apparatus can improve the uniformity of thickness within a workpiece or reduce thickness variation between serially polished workpieces. The polishing apparatus comprises a polishing unit having a polishing tool for providing a polishing surface and a workpiece holding device for holding the workpiece. A polishing solution or liquid supplying device is provided for supplying a polishing solution or liquid into a polishing interface between the surface of the workpiece and the polishing surface. A temperature of the polishing interface is controlled according to at least an ambient temperature of a polishing space surrounding the polishing unit, as a variable parameter.

    摘要: A predetermined amount of liquid such as water is supplied to a backside surface of a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer. Such liquid is a workpiece retaining liquid and is attached to a concave workpiece holding surface of a top ring. The workpiece is positioned between a turntable and the top ring and is polished by an abrasive cloth on the turntable while the workpiece is being pressed against the turntable by the top ring. While polishing, the workpiece is deformed toward the concave workpiece holding surface of the top ring, and a curvature of the deformed workpiece is controlled by the amount of liquid between the workpiece holding surface and the backside surface of the workpiece.

    摘要: A polishing apparatus for polishing a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer has a turntable with a polishing cloth mounted on an upper surface thereof, and a top ring for holding a workpiece and pressing the workpiece against the polishing cloth under a first pressing force to polish the workpiece. The top ring has a recess defined therein for accommodating the workpiece therein. A presser ring is vertically movably disposed around the top ring, and is pressed against the polishing cloth under a variable second pressing force. The first and second pressing forces are variable independently of each other, and the second pressing force is determined based on the first pressing force. Relative rotation between the top ring and the presser ring is achieved during polishing.
