Abstract
A monitoring method and a device for chemical mechanical polishing are provided. The method includes: loading a to-be-polished wafer with a carrier, attaching the wafer to a polishing pad on a polishing platen, and supplying slurry between the polishing pad and the wafer with a slurry supply apparatus; conditioning the polishing pad with a conditioner, and obtaining strain data of the conditioner, wherein the conditioner includes a drive arm and a conditioning head, the conditioning head conditions the polishing pad with the support of the drive arm, the drive arm undergoes a strain in response to a force applied by the the conditioning head, and the strain data is used to indicate a strain value of the drive arm; determining a conditioning deviation based on the strain data, and determining a wear state of the polishing pad based on the conditioning deviation.
