Patent attributes
A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a sound measuring unit that measures a first polishing sound of a film formed on a wafer, a sound pressure prediction regression model generation unit that generates a first regression model for obtaining a first sound pressure prediction value of the first polishing sound, a sound pressure prediction value calculation unit that performs a first calculation of the first sound pressure prediction value by using the first regression model, a residual difference calculation unit that performs a second calculation of a first residual difference, the first residual difference being a difference between a first sound pressure actual measurement value of the first polishing sound and the first sound pressure prediction value, and an end point determination unit that determines a polishing end point of the film by using the first residual difference.
