Abstract

A polishing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a first polishing part, a second polishing part, and an annular part. The second polishing part includes a mounting surface for a semiconductor substrate, and rubs the semiconductor substrate mounted on the mounting surface while pressing the semiconductor substrate against the first polishing part. The annular part includes a support part provided in the second polishing part, and a plurality of convex portions that project from the support part toward the first polishing part, are arranged in a circumferential direction around the mounting surface while being supported by the support part, and are movable in a radial direction of the semiconductor substrate.
