The surface of a semiconductor device is polished by first supplying a polishing pad with a slurry that contains a solvent, abrasive grains, and an additive for making the viscosity of the slurry variable so that the top portion of the polishing pad is soaked with the slurry, then supplying the polishing pad with a viscosity modifier for increasing the viscosity of the slurry and hardening the top portion of the polishing pad soaked with the slurry, and finally polishing the surface of the semiconductor device with the slurry having its viscosity increased and the polishing pad having its top portion hardened.
