    Abstract: FET devices (10) are manufactured using STI on a semiconductor substrate (11) coated with a pad (14) from which are formed raised active silicon device areas and dummy active silicon mesas (12) capped with pad structures on the doped silicon substrate and pad structure. A conformal blanket silicon oxide (22) layer is deposited on the device (10) with conformal projections above the mesas (12). Then a polysilicon film (24) on the blanket silicon oxide layer (22) is deposited with conformal projections above the mesas (12). The polysilicon film projections are removed in a CMP polishing step which continues until the silicon oxide layer (22) is exposed over the pad structures (14). Selective RIE partial etching of the conformal silicon oxide layer (22) over the mesas (12) is next, followed in turn by CMP planarization of the conformal blanket silicon oxide layer (22) which converts the silicon oxide layer into a planar silicon oxide layer, using the pad silicon nitride (14) as an etch stop.
