ABSTRACT:
A mount plate has a disc-shaped body having a wafer-mounting surface on which semiconductor wafers are to be mounted for polishing. The mount plate is carried by a rotary support which is rotatably indexed to different angular positions which correspond to angularly spaced locations on the wafer-mounting surface where the wafers are to be mounted. An indicator is embedded in the mount plate, preferably at the peripheral side edge thereof, and coacts with a sensor for indicating when the mount plate is indexed to a predetermined initial start position, thereby enabling automatic mounting of the wafers at the same locations on the wafer-mounting surface during each use of the mount plate. The indicator is preferably inserted in a recessed portion of the mount plate body and is covered by a transparent material so that the indicator is visible through the transparent material. The indicator may comprise a marking of a different color than the surrounding region of the mount body, alphanumeric characters, bar code indications or the like.
