Abstract

A circular polishing pad has grooves formed on the surface in a spiral pattern with its center point offset from the center of the pad. The spiral pattern is an Archimedean spiral pattern or a parabolic spiral pattern. A target object is polished by using such a polishing pad without oscillating the platen to which the polishing pad is pasted or the polishing head that holds the target object.
