Abstract

An electrolytic polishing apparatus for electrolytic-polishing a conductive film subject to formed on a substrate including a resistance measuring unit for measuring the resistance of the film. The electrolytic polishing apparatus may also include a termination point detecting portion for detecting a termination point of polishing by reading a variation of the resistance value measured by the resistance measuring unit, or a polishing control portion for terminating electrolytic polishing on the basis of the termination point of polishing detected by the termination point detecting portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
