Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising forming a hydrophobic interlayer insulating film having a relative dielectric constant of 3.5 or less above a semiconductor substrate, forming a recess in the interlayer insulating film, depositing a conductive material above the interlayer insulating film having the recess to form a conductive layer, selectively removing the conductive material deposited above the interlayer insulating film by polishing to expose a surface of the interlayer insulating film while leaving the conductive material in the recess, and subjecting the surface of the interlayer insulating film having the recess filled with the conductive material to pressure washing using a resin member and an alkaline washing liquid containing an inorganic alkali and exhibiting a pH of more than 9.
