Abstract

Provided is a polishing pad that comprises a plurality of first grooves that have a shape of geometric figures that share a center; and a plurality of second grooves that radially extend from the center to the outer perimeter, wherein the depth of the second grooves is equal to, or deeper than, the depth of the first grooves. It is possible for the polishing pad to rapidly discharge any debris generated during the polishing process to reduce such defects as scratches on the surface of a wafer.
