Abstract
A method for removing polishing byproducts and a polishing device are provided. The method includes mounting a positive electrode on the center of a polishing platen and a negative electrode on an edge of the polishing platen, applying a voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode after a polishing process for metal is finished, and rotating the polishing platen and rinsing a polishing pad with deionized water or a chemical cleaning solution to remove polishing byproducts that are formed in the polishing process. The combination of the centrifugal force and the electromotive force increases the removal rate of the polishing byproducts.
