Abstract

The present invention is a workpiece holder for polishing comprising at least a workpiece holder body having multiple perforated holes for holding a workpiece by vacuum adsorption and a back plate disposed on the back side of the body, which is provided with temperature controlling means or cooling means for the holder body. Thus, there is provided a workpiece holder for polishing, a polishing apparatus and a polishing method, which can provide a workpiece having good flatness by suppressing thermal deformation of the workpiece holder body and deformation of a resin film coated on the workpiece holding surface without degrading flatness of a workpiece held on the workpiece holder in the polishing of the workpiece, even when the number of polishing operation increases.
