Abstract

A processing apparatus includes a rotary table that causes a workpiece to rotate around a rotary axis, a roller-shaped member that rotates on an axis orthogonal to the rotary axis of the rotary table, a vertical driving section that is driven in a direction of the rotary axis of the rotary table so as to bring the roller-shaped member and the workpiece into contact with each other, an ultraviolet ray irradiation source that irradiates a portion between the roller-shaped member and the workpiece with an ultraviolet ray, a polishing material that is supplied to the portion between the roller-shaped member and the workpiece, and a light scattering medium that is supplied to the portion between the roller-shaped member and the workpiece and scatters an ultraviolet ray from the ultraviolet ray irradiation source.
