Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To polish a wafer preciously by detecting the thickness of the wafer in a polish operation. SOLUTION: The thickness measuring method is to measure the thickness of the wafer 7 which is being surface-polished. Probe light irradiates the back of the wafer 7 in polishing, its reflected spectrum is measured by a dispersing multi-channel spectroscope which uses a photodiode array having especially the high sensitivity to light of a wavelength 1 to 2.4 μm, and the thickness is calculated on the basis of its waveform. The surface polishing is carried out while measuring the thickness of the wafer 7 by the above thickness measuring method, and the polishing ends when it reaches a target thickness.
