An edge face of a deposited film at an edge portion of a device wafer having the deposited film formed on a substrate is polished at a substantially right angle so as to prevent the deposited film from peeling-off and dusting. A forming body having a sectional shape substantially agreeing with that of an edge portion of a device wafer after polishing, which is an object to be polished, is rotated and brought into contact with a polishing body so as to form a polishing portion on the polishing body surface. The edge portion of the object-to be polished is rotated and urged into contact with the formed polishing portion, so that the edge portion of the object to be polished is polished in a sectional shape agreeing with that of the polishing portion of the polishing body. The edge face of the deposited film on the substrate surface is polished not slantingly but at a right angel so as to be removed, so that peeling-off of the deposited film due to a post-process, etc., which will generate a foreign substance, can be prevented.
