Abstract
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with reduced dishing and erosion. In this method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the convex/concave pattern is planarized by relatively moving a substrate having the convex/concave pattern on the surface and a polishing tool with pressing the convex/concave surface of the substrate on the polishing tool. The polishing tool is provided with a grindstonehaving a plurality of polygonal segments, which comprises abrasivethat is bonded together with resinand contains pores. The polygonal segments are arranged so that corners of three or more polygonal segments are not located near each other.
