Abstract

A method of processing a semiconductor wafer includes depositing a silicon layer on the semiconductor wafer. A first slurry is applied to the semiconductor wafer and the silicon layer is polished to smooth the silicon layer. A second slurry is applied to the semiconductor wafer. The second slurry includes a greater amount of a caustic agent than the first slurry.
