Abstract

A polishing pad composed of a rigid polyurethane added with CaCO.sub.3 particles is able to provide polished wafers having a surface roughness which is comparable to that attained by the conventional final polishing process. Even when polishing is achieved under a high load condition to improve the productivity, the polished wafers are free from deformation, such as concaving, and have an excellent flatness.
