A calibration device for a pad conditioner head of a CMP machine includes a lower first horizontal member defining an arcuate reference surface having a shape complementary to that of the outer peripheral edge of the platen of the machine, an upper second horizontal member spaced vertically from the first member and having a reference mark thereon lying in the projected plane of the reference surface, and a connecting member interconnecting the first member and second member. When the reference surface of the first horizontal member of the calibration device is be butted against the outer peripheral edge of the platen adjacent the head of the pad conditioner, the location of the outermost portion of the head of the pad conditioner relative to the reference mark is readily observable. Thus, the extent to which the outermost portion of the head of the pad conditioner is vertically aligned relative to the outer peripheral edge of the platen can be easily and accurately determined.
