METHOD OF REDUCING SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE SURFACE UNEVENNESS

Disclosed is a method of reducing surface unevenness of a semiconductor wafer (100). In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises: removing a portion of a deposited layer and a protective layer thereon using a first slurry to provide an intermediate surface (1123). In the described embodiment, th...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a method of reducing surface unevenness of a semiconductor wafer (100). In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises: removing a portion of a deposited layer and a protective layer thereon using a first slurry to provide an intermediate surface (1123). In the described embodiment, the deposited layer includes an epitaxial layer (112) and the protective layer includes a first dielectric layer (113). The first slurry includes particles with a hardness level the same as or exceeding that of the epitaxial layer (112). A slurry for use in wafer fabrication for reducing surface unevenness of a semiconductor wafer is also disclosed.
