Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention provides a full-function semiconductor wafer polishing process, especially a process using two chemical mechanical polishing (chemica 1 mechanica 1 pol i shi ng, CMP) processes. A method of grinding one top surface and one edge bevel surface of the semiconductor wafer, and then cleaning and drying the semiconductor wafer. [Previous technology] At present, a 'multilevel metallization process', which uses a plurality of layers of metal interconnect layers and dielectric materials (dielectrics) having a lower dielectric constant to connect each semiconductor element on a semiconductor wafer to each other It is connected in series to complete the entire stacked circuit architecture, which has been widely used in the process of very large scale integration (VLSI). However, in the general process, these metal lines and semiconductor components will cause the surface of the integrated circuit to show a severe topography of undulations, which increases the occurrence of bumps during subsequent deposition or pattern transfer processes. Disadvantages such as overhang, void, or difficulty in focusing and difficulty in etching. Therefore, after entering the deep sub-micron semiconductor process, most of the semiconductor industry will use chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process with better planarization effect to uniformly remove targets with irregular surfaces on a semiconductor wafer.
