Abstract
A polishing apparatus of the present invention comprises an amplifier for amplifying a first signal being input from the vibration detecting device attached on a second surface plate to then output a second signal, a gain indicator for determining unsuitableness of a gain of the amplifier based on a magnitude of the second signal output from the amplifier and then indicating correction of said gain, a gain adjuster for adjusting the gain of the amplifier based on a gain correction signal output from the gain indicator, a polishing end-point analyzing portion for determining an end-point of polishing based on change in the second signal, and a control portion for terminating drive of the first surface plate based on a polishing end-point signal being output from the polishing end-point analyzing portion.
