Abstract:
Method of chemical polishing of planar silicon structures by use of a silicon semiconductor body having planar surfaces with recesses therein opening through the surface. A stop layer is formed on the surface and then the recesses are filled with a filling material. The semiconductor structure with the filled surface is then polished by the use of a polishing pad and applying to the polishing pad a first active chemical agent and applying a second chemical agent to the pad at the same time that the first chemical agent is being applied. The polishing is continued until the stop layer is reached.
