ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device fabrication method according to the invention comprises the steps of: (1) exposing a silicon layer by removing a portion of an insulating layer above a projected part of the silicon layer, the insulating layer covering the silicon layer; and (2) chemically and mechanically polishing the exposed silicon layer with a polishing slurry for the silicon layer while protecting the silicon layer with the remaining of the insulating layer.
