Abstract (en)

[origin: US2004065412A1] A retaining ring to be fitted on a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for semiconductor wafers is disclosed, the retaining ring comprising a carrier ring made of a first material and having fitting elements for fitting the carrier ring on the polishing apparatus; and a bearing ring comprising a plastic material, arranged concentrically on the carrier ring, the bearing ring resting with a first front side on a polishing surface of the polishing apparatus and being held on its side axially opposed to the first front side releasably, non-rotatably, with a positive and/or frictional connection and without adhesive on the carrier ring; wherein the first material has a higher rigidity than the plastic material of the bearing ring.
