The present disclosure provides a
semiconductor device manufacturing method. The
semiconductor device manufacturing method comprises the following steps: providing a
semiconductor substrate, then forming a
capacitor structure above the semiconductor substrate, and forming an interlayer
dielectric layer above the
capacitor structure. The present disclosure processes the interlayer
dielectric layer as follows: first
processing the interlayer
dielectric layer to form a plurality of columnar protrusions on the interlayer
dielectric layer; second
processing the interlayer
dielectric layer to reduce the height of the columnar protrusions; and finally, chemically mechanically
polishing the interlayer
dielectric layer to make the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer flush, thereby achieving the effect that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer is planarized. In the present disclosure, the first
processing can be
dry etching, and the second processing can be wet
etching. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present disclosure can effectively eliminate the
step height difference between different positions on the device while protecting the interlayer dielectric layer that needs to be reserved.
