Thin, planar substrates are carried on a substrate carrier (20) through a polishing operation. The substrate carrier (20) is injection molded or modified-injection molded from a plastic material, and includes one or more receptacles for receiving the substrates to be carried through the polishing process. A drive force transmission arrangement is also included in the substrate carrier (20) through which the carrier may be driven in the polishing process. The substrate carrier (20) is relatively non-abrasive and composed of melt processable engineering polymers or blends. Non-abrasive fillers or reinforcing material may also be included in the plastic.
