A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) device for wafers includes: a platen and a polishing pad on a first surface of the platen; a head that rotates and vibrates the wafer; a retainer ring disposed at an edge of the polishing pad and configured to prevent the wafer from dislodging from the head; and a control unit configured to calculate a movement trajectory of at least one reference point on a surface of the retainer ring in contact with the polishing pad and a center point of the retainer ring; calculate a sliding distance of the at least one reference point and a trajectory distribution density of the movement trajectory of the center point; predict a wear profile of the retainer ring; and control process conditions of the CMP process based on the wear profile.
