A preceding wafer having an aluminum wiring and a silicon oxide film formed on an insulating film is chemico-mechanically polished. In the stage in which surface irregularities of the silicon oxide film are eliminated, polishing is discontinued. On the basis of the result, a polishing time is determined in accordance with the following formula:T=(D1-D2)/v+t1where, D1 represents the thickness in the stage in which polishing is discontinued; D2, a target thickness; t1, a time required from the initial thickness to reach the thickness D1; and the polishing rate of the material of the silicon oxide film formed on a flat substrate is denoted as v. |
