Abstract
Description
[0001] Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-345790 filed on Nov. 30, 2005, is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a chemical mechanical polishing method and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, a resist film is used to form a desired structure. The resist film is required to have a uniform thickness over the entire wafer. For example, a desired structure is obtained by forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate or a hole in an insulating film, applying a photoresist to form a resist film, and recessing or removing the resist film.
[0004] In this case, the resist film is required to have a uniform thickness over the entire wafer.
[0005] A variation in thickness of the resist film is increased during the subsequent recess step to cause the device shape to deteriorate. Moreover, a decrease in depth of focus or yield occurs. [000...
