Zusammenfassung:A polishing head of a CMP apparatus includes a polishing pad, an air bag brought into contact with a rear surface of a wafer on the polishing pad and configured to press a front surface of the wafer against the polishing pad, and a top ring surrounding the air bag and the wafer. A portion of the air bag brought into contact with a peripheral portion of the wafer is thicker in film thickness than a portion of the air bag brought into contact with a central portion of the wafer. The polishing head is capable of applying even pressure to press down the wafer evenly throughout the entire wafer plane to improve the evenness of polishing.
