Abstract

Double or multiple unit polishing heads are used thereby negating the negative effects that irregularities in the surface of the polishing pad have on the polishing results obtained. Adjacent double or multiple unit polishing heads rotate in opposite directions thereby eliminating the effects of microscopic directions in the surface of the polishing pads.
