| 20090137189 | POLISHING PAD - An object of the present invention is to provide a polishing pad excellent in optical detection accuracy in a broad wavelength range (particularly at the short-wavelength side) and capable of preventing a slurry from leaking from the boundary between a polishing region and a light-transmitting region. Disclosed is a polishing pad including at least a transparent support film laminated on one side of a polishing layer including a polishing region and a light-transmitting region, wherein the light transmittance of an optical detection region containing at least the light-transmitting region and the transparent support film is 40% or more in the overall range of wavelengths of 300 to 400 nm. | 05-28-2009 |
