ABSTRACT:
A compact polishing apparatus has been developed which can be installed in a relatively small space, and is highly rigid without increasing the weight of the apparatus. The polishing apparatus comprises a polishing table, a top ring head for rotatably holding a substrate, a substrate transfer device for transferring the substrate to and from a substrate storage section, a substrate delivery device for delivery of the substrate between the top ring head and the substrate transfer device at a delivery position outside of the polishing table. A guide rail device is laid between the polishing table and the substrate delivery device, and a carriage device movable along the guide rail device is provided for carrying the top ring device thereon.
