摘要:
A chemical mechanical polishing process and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device using the same are provided. The chemical mechanical polishing process includes applying a polishing activation solution with a reduced surface energy, wherein the polishing activation solution includes a surfactant; and polishing the object using the polishing activation solution. The method of fabrication includes forming a mask layer pattern on a semiconductor substrate, etching the substrate using the mask layer pattern as an etching mask, forming an insulating layer over a trench, and performing the chemical mechanical polishing above, wherein the object to be polished is the insulating layer.
