2. Description of the Related Art A polishing apparatus is an apparatus that presses a work such as a wafer onto a surface plate on which a polishing pad is stuck, and rotates the surface plate and the work so that the surface of the work is mirror-polished with the polishing pad. is there. In such a polishing apparatus, a workpiece is chemically and mechanically polished using an acidic or alkaline slurry. Therefore, if a surface plate made of stainless steel or casting is used without any treatment, the surface plate may be rusted by the slurry and the work may be damaged. For example, if a weak alkaline slurry is supplied on a casting surface plate, the slurry will flow on the surface of the surface plate due to the rotation of the surface plate, and rust will be generated on this surface, and the work may be damaged by this rust. , Or become contaminated. Further, when an acidic slurry is supplied to a stainless steel platen, nickel or the like is eluted on the peripheral surface of the platen due to a reaction between the slurry and the stainless steel, thereby contaminating the work. Further, the nickel or the like may enter the work, and the work may not be usable. Therefore, conventionally, the surface of the surface plate other than the surface to which the polishing pad is adhered is painted or coated with Teflon, so that a technique for preventing a chemical reaction between the slurry and the surface plate during polishing operation has been adopted. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment,
Although the invention is applied to the donut-shaped surface plate 1, it goes without saying that the invention can also be applied to a disk-shaped surface plate having a central hole. Further, since the platen 1 is a large-diameter platen having a diameter of about 2190 mm, the protective film 2 is formed by painting. However, in the case of a small-diameter platen, the protective film 2 can be formed by Teflon coating. . In the above embodiment, the protection rings 5 and 6 are formed of Teflon. However, when the surface plate 1 can be used in an apparatus having only one surface plate below, such as a single-side polishing device, the slurry is not used. Since the problem of the abrasive grains not sticking does not occur, the protection rings 5 and 6 may be formed of vinyl chloride or the like. Further, the slopes 52, 62 are provided on the protection rings 5, 6, but the slopes 52, 62 are provided.
This does not exclude the protective rings 5 and 6 having a rectangular cross section without 62.
