Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes following steps. A substrate is provided, and a semiconductor layer is formed on the substrate. Next, a SiN-rich pre-oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor layer. After forming the SiN-rich pre-oxide layer, an anneal treatment is performed to partially transfer the SiN-rich pre-oxide layer to form a SiN layer and a SiO layer. And the SiO layer is formed the on the SiN layer. Subsequently, a planarization process is performed to remove a portion of the SiO layer to expose the SiN layer.

Abstract: A method for planarizing a silicon layer includes providing a silicon layer having at least one recess therein. Next, a photoresist layer is formed to cover the silicon layer and fill up the recess. Then, the photoresist layer is hardened. After that, part of the photoresist layer is removed by taking a top surface of the silicon layer as a stop layer. Finally the photoresist layer and the silicon layer are etched back simultaneously to remove the photoresist layer entirely.

Abstract: A method of planarizing a substrate surface is disclosed. A substrate having a major surface of a material layer is provided. The major surface of the material layer comprises a first region with relatively low removal rate and a second region of relatively high removal rate. A photoresist pattern is formed on the material layer. The photoresist pattern masks the second region, while exposes at least a portion of the first region. At least a portion of the material layer not covered by the photoresist pattern is etched away. A polish stop layer is deposited on the material layer. A cap layer is deposited on the polish stop layer. A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is performed to polish the cap layer.
