<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To hold down a change rate of a polishing speed to the polishing duration to the minimum. <P>SOLUTION: In this polishing method, the substrate 50 is held on a substrate holder 4, a polishing tool 10 installed opposite to the substrate holder 4 is brought into contact with the substrate 50, and the substrate holder 4 and the polishing tool 10 are relatively moved to polish the surface 51 of the substrate 50. The temperature of the substrate holder 4 is selected to polish the surface 51 of the substrate 50 in the state of keeping the temperature of the substrate holder 4 to the selected temperature according to the previously obtained data showing the relationship between the temperature of the substrate holder 4 and a change rate of polishing speed to the polishing duration. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
