An apparatus for CMP includes a platen, a wafer carrier retaining a semiconductor wafer during a polishing operation, a dress configured to recondition a polishing pad disposed on the platen during the polishing operation, and a vibration-monitoring system configured to detect vibrations during the polishing operation. The vibration-monitoring system includes a first vibration sensor configured to generate a plurality of first vibration signals. An end point is triggered to the polishing when a change between the plurality of vibration signals reaches a value.
