ABSTRACT:
A polishing-rate distribution of a target film is compared with a desired post-polishing film-thickness distribution of the target film, thereby obtaining a pre-polishing film-thickness distribution of the target film by a reverse calculation, so that film growing conditions can be controlled in advance so as to allow the target film to have, after polishing, a film-thickness distribution that is the same as the desired film-thickness distribution. Therefore, even if there is a possibility that variation in the step height of the wafer surface might be produced by polishing, the finally obtained target film's film-thickness distribution can be the desired film-thickness distribution. Accordingly, semiconductors in which device-to-device variation in characteristic is reduced can be provided.
