A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, which includes forming a coated film by coating a solution containing a solvent and an organic component above an insulating film located above a semiconductor substrate and having a recess, baking the coated film at a first temperature which does not accomplish cross-linking of the organic component to obtain an organic film precursor, polishing the organic film precursor using a first slurry containing first resin particles and a water-soluble polymer to planarize a surface of the organic film precursor, and polishing the organic film precursor where the surface is planarized using a second slurry containing second resin particles and a water-soluble polymer to leave the organic film precursor in the recess, thereby exposing the insulating film, an average particle diameter of the second resin particles being smaller than that of the first resin particles. |
