A method for forming a multilayer integrated circuit is described wherein the resultant top surface thereof is substantially planar. The method involves first forming a layer of connecting metallization on integrated circuit components formed in a conventional manner. Then a first layer of dielectric is formed on the metallization layer. Next a second dielectric layer is formed on the first dielectric layer. Via areas are then formed by etching the first and second dielectric layers in order to expose selected areas of the first metallization layer, and filled with metal to form vias. A layer of photoresist is deposited on all surfaces. Lastly, the surface is etched using an etchant that etches dielectric, metal and photoresist at substantially the same rate such that said vias are exposed and a planar top surface produced.
