Abstract

See full text

The invention simplifies airbag calibration. A pressure calibration jig calibrates pressure to be applied to a plurality of airbags disposed inside a top ring for holding and pressing a wafer against a polishing pad. The pressure calibration jig includes a plurality of first passages capable of communicating with the plurality of airbags, respectively; a second passage which combines and connects the plurality of first passages to a pressure calibration sensor; and a flow control portion configured to allow a fluid to flow through the first passage of the plurality of first passages, which first passage corresponds to an airbag selected for pressure calibration, in a direction from the selected airbag toward the second passage, and also configured to prevent the fluid from flowing through the first passages other than the first passage corresponding to the selected airbag in a direction from the second passage toward the airbags.
