  • Patent number: 8450858
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a first wiring layer, a first interlayer insulating film, a second interlayer insulating film, a third interlayer insulating film, and a second wiring layer, in which the method includes depositing the second wiring layer on the third interlayer insulating film and, where the widths of first wiring layer and the second wiring layer are 10.0 ?m or greater, executing one of etching the second wiring layer to set a width of 1.0 ?m or greater in a portion where the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer overlap and etching the second wiring layer to seta horizontal distance of 2.0 ?m or greater between adjacent portions of the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8116894
    Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing method including a step of forming a plurality of interlayer insulating films so as to coat a plurality of projecting patterns, at least one of the plurality of projecting patterns being formed on each of a plurality of substrates, whereby the plurality of projection patterns have different area ratios R with respect to the corresponding substrates, and performing a flattening process on the interlayer insulating films before linear approximation; a step of obtaining a linear approximation formula R=aT+b expressing a relationship between the area ratio R and a polishing time T, where R1, R2, R3, . . . , Rx represent the area ratio R of each of the projecting patterns with respect to the corresponding substrates, and T1, T2, T3, . . .
