Abstract

A chemical mechanical polishing device used to polish a wafer according to the present invention includes a polishing table, a polishing pad, a slurry supply device, a wafer carrier and a high-pressure liquid cleaning device. The polishing pad is disposed on the polishing table to polish the wafer. The slurry supply device is disposed on the polishing table to supply the slurry. In addition, the wafer carrier is disposed the polishing table to carry the wafer in such a manner that the wafer is brought into contact with the polishing pad. Besides, the high-pressure cleaning device is disposed on the polishing table to remove the impurities on the polishing pad by high-pressure liquid.
