Single-sided polishing of bare semiconductor wafers is accomplished by using a polishing head with a membrane made of a resilient material by which polishing pressure is transmitted onto the backside of the semiconductor wafer to be polished, wherein the semiconductor wafer is pressed against a polishing cloth with a smooth surface while supplying a polishing agent, and is prevented from sliding off the membrane by a retainer ring. The retainer ring is provided with channels on a side surface facing the polishing cloth.
