Abstract: A semiconductor substrate (1) is secured by suction to a rear face (1b) of a supporting face (11a) of a substrate supporting table (11). In this event, the thickness of the semiconductor substrate (1) is made fixed by planarization on the rear face (1b), and the rear face (1b) is forcibly brought into a state free from undulation by the suction to the supporting face (11a), so that the rear face (1b) becomes a reference face for planarization of a front face (1a). In this state, a tool (10) is used to cut surface layers of Au projections (2) and a resist mask (12) on the front face (1a), thereby planarizing the Au projections (2) and the resist mask (12) so that their surfaces become continuously flat. This can planarize the surfaces of fine bumps formed on the substrate at a low cost and a high speed in place of CMP.
