Abstract

A polishing machine having a taut microabrasive sheet. The machine includes a machine polishing disk in the form of a planar reference disk and a microabrasive sheet held taut on the disk by an appropriate mechanism. The mechanism for holding the microabrasive sheet taut can be a delivery roll and a receiving roll. The machine can be applied to the polishing of silicon wafers containing integrated components and in particular magnetic read-write heads.
