Abstract

In a CMP device for polishing a surface of a wafer, this ring member for holding the wafer is provided on the outer circumferential side of the wafer to hold the wafer and is to be polished together with the wafer. The ring member for holding the wafer is characterized by being configured from a silicon material containing one or two types of doping elements selected from B and Ga in a total amount in the range of 1.0 x 10-5 g / cm3 to 5.0 x 10-3 g / cm3 inclusive, and having specific resistivity in the range of 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-1 Ω・cm inclusive.
