In the CMP of films of semiconductor devices, pulsed measuring radiation is directed onto a surface to be polished of a rotating wafer. At this point, the pulse repetition rate of the pulsed measuring radiation is determined so that the pulse measuring radiation is directed only onto a specified portion of the surface of each semiconductor device. Thereby, reflection data can be obtained only from the specified portion of a film to be polished, allowing accurate measurements of the thickness of the specified portion of the film in the middle of polishing. |
