Abstract

A polishing apparatus used in chemical mechanical polishing device is provided. The polishing apparatus includes a polishing plate for holding a wafer to be polished; a polishing pad arm, one end of the polishing pad arm being fixed, another end of the polishing pad arm holding a polishing pad, and the polishing pad arm driving the polishing pad for moving relatively to the wafer; the polishing pad moving relatively to the wafer with drive from the polishing pad arm, and the polishing pad arm ensuring the polishing pad contacting the wafer during movement; and a slurry supply route for supplying polishing slurry between the polishing pad and the wafer during polishing. The present invention also provides a chemical mechanical polishing device. It makes for realizing miniaturization of a chemical mechanical polishing device, saving polishing slurry and improving utilization rate of the polishing pad in the chemical mechanical polishing device to apply the present invention.
