Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a retainer ring that enables uniform distribution of a polishing material on a wafer surface.SOLUTION: A retainer ring 11 used for polishing processing of a semiconductor wafer has: a groove 111 formed on a contact surface 115 with a polishing pad, and configured to take a slurry in a ring and exhaust it to an opposite side; and slurry diffusion means 15 provided on a ring outer wall 112. Even in a case where the contact surface is worn as the polishing processing progresses, a flow is facilitated by the diffusion means to prevent a slip, and thereby, the slurry can be uniformly distributed on a wafer surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ウェーハ表面に研磨材を均一に分布させることができるリテーナリングを提供する。【解決手段】半導体ウェーハの研磨処理に用いられるリテーナリング11は、研磨パッドとの接触面115に形成され、スラリーをリングの内側に取り込み反対側に掃出する溝111と、リング外壁112に設けられるスラリー拡散手段15とを有する。研磨処理の進行につれて接触面が摩耗した場合でも拡散手段によって流れを促進することでスリップを防止し、スラリーををウェーハ面に均一に分布させる。【選択図】図5
