A layer of required material, such as polysilicon, is planarized by first forming a sacrificial layer of material, such as an oxide, on the layer of required material. The combined layers of required and sacrificial materials are then planarized using chemical-mechanical polishing until the sacrificial material has been substantially, completely removed.
