ABSTRACT:
A method of chemical mechanical planarization of a semiconductor device provides a semiconductor device having a device front surface and a device back surface with the device front surface being a top surface of a second metal layer. A first planarizing step planarizes the device front surface with a first medium to expose a device second front surface, where the first medium comprises a first abrasive component and a first chemical solution. A rinsing step then rinses the device back surface with water. A second planarizing step then planarizes the device second front surface with a second medium where the second medium comprises a second abrasive component and a second chemical solution.
