Abstract

The present invention provides a polishing pad that can suppress variations in light transmittance or a polishing pad that can reduce adhesion and sticking of polishing swarf to the surface on the polishing surface side of the light-transmitting resin member (window member).

the light-transmitting member is arranged so that the light-transmitting member is in the first through hole, when viewed from the polishing surface side of the polishing pad in the thickness direction of the polishing pad.

5 . A polishing pad comprising:

a light-transmitting member; and

a polishing layer, wherein

the polishing layer includes a polishing surface for polishing an object to be polished, and the polishing pad includes a through hole penetrating from the polishing surface to an opposite surface thereof,

the light-transmitting member is arranged so that the light-transmitting member is in the through hole when viewed from the polishing surface side of the polishing pad in a thickness direction of the polishing pad,
