Abstract:
A method of processing a semiconductor wafer includes depositing a silicon layer on the semiconductor wafer. A first slurry is applied to the semiconductor wafer and the silicon layer is polished to smooth the silicon layer. A second slurry is applied to the semiconductor wafer. The second slurry includes a greater amount of a caustic agent than the first slurry.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11  wherein between about 0.3 um and about 1 um of the thickness of the silicon layer is removed while the silicon layer is polished on the first wafer polishing apparatus.
