BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a top view showing the configuration of a polishing apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front view showing the configuration of the polishing apparatus of the present invention;
FIGS. 3A to 3C are diagrams showing experimental results under different conditions that the slurry flow amount is independently controlled;
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing experiment results of relation between the polishing rates (nm/min) of the wafers polished under the slurry flow amounts in cases 1 to 3 of FIGS. 3A to 3C and a distances from the wafer center
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation of the polishing apparatus;
FIG. 6A is a diagram showing the calculation results;
FIG. 6B is a diagram showing calculation equations used in steps S30 to S70;
FIG. 7 is a graph showing a relation between a slurry flow amount and a division result (R/A ratio); and
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a polishing recipe.
