The present invention provides a multi-conditioner arrangement of a CMP system. The CMP system according to the present invention comprises a polishing table, a polishing pad positioned on the polishing table, a plurality of carrier heads on the polishing pad functioning in holding semiconductor wafers, and a plurality of conditioners positioned between the two neighboring carrier heads on the polishing pad for recovering the surface texture of the polishing pad. Herein, a plurality of conditioners are in a one-to-one arrangement to a plurality of carrier heads, each conditioner producing a back and forth motion in a radiant direction. Therefore, the lifetime of the polishing pad is extended, the wafer-to-wafer difference is reduced, and spatial coverage is increased.
