Abstract

A slurry composition for chemical-mechanical polishing capable of compensating nanotopography effect present on the surface of a wafer, and a method for planarizing the surface of a semiconductor device that utilizes the same are disclosed. The slurry composition of the present invention is aimed at compensating the nanotopography effect during chemical mechanical polishing process of the oxide layer formed on the surface of the wafer, and contains abrasive particles and an additive, wherein the size of the abrasive particles and the concentration of the additive are controlled within predetermined ranges in order to control the deviation of thickness (OTD) of the oxide layer below a certain level after the chemical mechanical polishing process.
