Abstract: A polishing apparatus comprises a polishing table having a polishing surface and a top ring for holding a substrate to be polished, in which the substrate when held by the top ring is pressed against the polishing surface of the polishing table and thus polished. A capacitance type sensor and/or an eddy-current type sensor is disposed at one or more location(s) in the vicinity of the top ring. The capacitance type sensor detects escaping of the substrate to be polished based on a change in capacitance between the capacitance type sensor and a top surface of the polishing table. The eddy-current type sensor detects escaping of the substrate to be polished based on a change in electrical resistance between the eddy-current type sensor and the top surface of the polishing table.
