Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus and a method for forming a semiconductor structure are provided. The apparatus includes a polishing pad, a polishing head and a temperature control module. The polishing head mounts a substrate against the polishing pad. The temperature control module faces the polishing pad. The temperature control module includes a first temperature controller and a second temperature controller. The first temperature controller is configured to control a first temperature of a first zone of the polishing pad. The second temperature controller is configured to control a second temperature of a second zone of the polishing pad.
