1. A polishing method comprising:
feeding a slurry onto a polishing pad;
press-contacting a semiconductor substrate held on a polishing head with the polishing pad, the semiconductor substrate having an organic film thereon; and
chemically mechanically polishing the organic film by repeating a sequence of rotation and halt of rotation of the polishing pad and the polishing head while feeding the slurry on the polishing pad, during repeating the sequence, the semiconductor substrate being kept press-contacted with the polishing pad.
