Abstract

See full text

A polishing apparatus can perform more precise control of a polishing profile without carrying out many polishing tests in advance. The polishing apparatus includes: a polishing table 22 having a polishing surface 52a; a top ring 24 for holding a polishing object W and pressing the polishing object W against the polishing surface 52a; a polishing liquid supply nozzle 26 for supplying a polishing liquid to the polishing surface 52a; a movement mechanism 70 for moving a polishing liquid supply position 26a of the polishing liquid supply nozzle 26 approximately along the radial direction of the polishing surface 52a; a controller 66 for controlling the movement mechanism 70; and a simulator 72 for predicting the relationship between the polishing liquid supply position 26a of the polishing liquid supply nozzle 26 and a polishing profile, performing a simulation and outputting data to the controller 66.
