The method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises the step of planarizing the surface of a film-to-be-polished formed over a semiconductor substrate by polishing, with a polishing pad 104 formed of a foam with a plurality of cells 107 incorporated in a base material 105 thereof, the surface being polished with the base material alone while a polishing slurry containing abrasive grains and an additive of a surfactant is being supplied. The film-to-be-polished is polished with the polishing pad of a foam having no shells around the cells, whereby even when a polishing slurry containing the additive of a surfactant is used, the generation of scratches in the surface of the film-to-be-polished can be depressed. |
