Abstract

See full text

A polishing unit polishes a semiconductor wafer. An eddy current sensor measures an eddy current variable according to variation of the film thickness of the semiconductor wafer at plural measurement times. A sensor processor calculates the film thickness of the semiconductor wafer at the measurement times based on the eddy current measured by the eddy current sensor. A film thickness estimating unit estimates film thicknesses after lapse of a processing delay time from the measurement times by using the calculated film thickness.
