Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a structure protruding from a substrate, forming a dielectric layer covering the structure, forming a dummy layer covering the dielectric layer, and performing a planarization process to completely remove the dummy layer. A material of the dummy layer has a slower removal rate to the planarization process than a material of the dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n after the planarization process, forming an opening in the dielectric layer; and forming a contact in the opening in the dielectric layer to electrically connect to the structure.
