Abstract

A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices using an improved planarization process for the planarization of the surfaces of the wafer on which the semiconductor devices are formed. The improved planarization process includes the formation of a flat planar surface from a deformable coating on the surface of the wafer using a fixed resilient flexible material member contacting the wafer.
