Abstract
In a method of manufacturing an insulation layer on a semiconductor substrate, a first insulation film is deposited on the semiconductor substrate more thicker than a wiring layer formed on the semiconductor substrate. The first insulation film is mechano-chemically polished to expose a void formed in the first insulation film. The first insulation film is etched to widen an entrance portion of the void. A second insulation film is formed on the first insulation film to be embedded into the void. The second insulation film is etched at least to the first insulation film, with a part of the second insulation film left within the void. The exposed first insulation film and the left second insulation film has a flat surface.
