Abstract

In a production process of a semiconductor device, planarizing of a wafer surface pattern can be performed to attain high planarity, good uniformity in the removal amount and improved controllability. This process include a step of planarizing a semiconductor wafer, from which at least two different films have been exposed, by polishing with a grindstone and a dispersant-containing processing liquid.
