摘要: The present invention is relates to a polishing method for polishing a semiconductor wafer (W) by pressing the semiconductor wafer (W) against a polishing surface (10) with use of a top ring (23) for holding the semiconductor wafer (W). A pressure chamber (70) is defined in the top ring (23) by attaching an elastic membrane (60) to a lower surface of a vertically movable member (62). The semiconductor wafer (W) is polished while a pressurized fluid is supplied to the pressure chamber (70) so that the semiconductor wafer (W) is pressed against the polishing surface (10) by a fluid pressure of the fluid. The semiconductor wafer (W) which has been polished is released from the top ring (23) by ejecting the pressurized fluid from an opening (62a) defined centrally in the vertically movable member (62).

摘要: The present invention relates to a substrate holding apparatus for holding a substrate to be polished and pressing the substrate against a polishing surface. The substrate holding apparatus comprises a top ring body for holding a substrate, an elastic pad for being brought into contact with the substrate, and a support member for supporting the elastic pad. The substrate holding apparatus further comprises a contact member mounted on a lower surface of the support member and disposed in a space formed by the elastic pad and the support member. The contact member has an elastic membrane for being brought into contact with the elastic pad. A first pressure chamber is defined in the contact member, and a second pressure chamber is defined outside of the contact member. The substrate holding apparatus further comprises a fluid source for independently supplying a fluid into, or creating a vacuum in, the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber.
