Abstract

A polishing pad has a disk-shaped substrate and a polishing layer of which an upper surface side is adhered to the substrate. The polishing layer includes a plurality of through-holes which penetrate the polishing pad vertically and which are supplied with a polishing liquid, and a plurality of grooves which are formed on the lower surface side of the polishing pad and which are connected to the through-holes. The plurality of through-holes are formed such as to surround the center of the polishing layer, and the plurality of grooves are formed radially from the plurality of through-holes toward the outer periphery of the polishing layer.

Claims (17)

1. A polishing pad having a disk-shaped substrate and a polishing layer of which an upper surface side, opposite a lower surface side, is adhered to the substrate, wherein

the polishing layer includes a plurality of through-holes which are formed to penetrate the polishing layer vertically from the upper surface side to the lower surface side and which are supplied with a polishing liquid, and a plurality of grooves which are formed on the lower surface side of the polishing layer and which are connected to the through-holes,

the plurality of through-holes are formed on a central portion of the polishing layer as compared to the plurality of grooves such as to surround a center of the polishing layer, and

the plurality of grooves are formed radially from the plurality of through-holes toward an outer periphery of the polishing layer.

2. The polishing pad according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of concentric circular grooves connected to the grooves are formed in a region on the lower surface side of the polishing layer which region is located on the outer periphery side of the polishing layer as compared to the plurality of through-holes.

3. The polishing pad according to claim 1 , wherein

the grooves connected to the through-holes are formed such as not to reach the outer periphery of the polishing layer.

4. A polishing pad having a disk-shaped substrate and a polishing layer of which an upper surface side, opposite a lower surface side, is adhered to the substrate, wherein

the polishing layer includes a plurality of through-holes which are formed to penetrate the polishing layer vertically from the upper surface side to the lower surface side and which are supplied with a polishing liquid, and a plurality of grooves each of which is formed on the lower surface side of the polishing layer and is connected at one end to a corresponding one of the through-holes,

the plurality of through-holes are formed such as to surround a center of the polishing layer, and

the plurality of grooves are formed radially from the plurality of through-holes toward an outer periphery of the polishing layer.

5. The polishing pad according to claim 4 , wherein the substrate includes a though-hole for supplying the polishing liquid to the through-holes of the polishing layer, and

a central part of the through-hole of the substrate is covered with a portion of the polishing layer surrounded by the plurality of through-holes of the polishing layer to restrict flow of the polishing liquid to the lower surface side of the polishing layer.

6. The polishing pad according to claim 4 further comprising a circular groove connected to each of the plurality of through-holes.

7. The polishing pad according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a though-hole for supplying the polishing liquid to the through-holes of the polishing layer, and

a central part of the through-hole of the substrate is covered with a portion of the polishing layer surrounded by the plurality of through-holes of the polishing layer to restrict flow of the polishing liquid to the lower surface side of the polishing layer.
