摘要:
A semiconductor wafer or a film formed thereon is polished by using a polishing agent comprising abrasive containing silica particles as the main component, water as a solvent, and a water-soluble cellulose, an alkali metal impurity content of the polishing agent being 5C ppm or less where the polishing agent contains C % by weight of the water-soluble cellulose, so as to flatten the semiconductor wafer without doing damage to the wafer or the film formed thereon and without bringing about a dishing problem in the polished surface.

A dresser is used which makes it possible to simultaneously dress and condition the surface of a polishing pad deteriorated by polishing a semiconductor wafer in the CMP process. The dresser is a dresser comprised of a ceramic such as dressing SiC, SiN, alumina or silica. Use of this dresser enables to shorten the time of dressing/conditioning the deteriorated polishing pad.

A convex polycrystalline silicon film is formed on a handle wafer. A semiconductor layer is formed on the polycrystalline silicon film. The semiconductor is thinner on its areas in which the convex polycrystalline silicon film is formed and is thicker on its areas in which the convex polycrystalline silicon film is not formed. An opening is formed in each of those areas of an insulating film which are located under respective thick-film semiconductor areas of the semiconductor layer. The polycrystalline silicon film is formed in the openings to connect electrically the thick-film semiconductor areas and the handle wafer together.
