Abstract:
Proposed is a polishing composition including hydroxyethyl cellulose, water and abrasive grains, wherein the hydroxyethyl cellulose has a molecular weight of 500,000 or more and 1,500,000 or less, and the proportion of the hydroxyethyl cellulose adsorbed to the abrasive grains is 30% or more and 90% or less.
Abstract:
Provided is a polishing composition that does not contain abrasives and that is used for polishing a silicon wafer, the polishing composition including a pH buffer, a polishing accelerator, a water-soluble polymer, and a block-type compound. By polishing a silicon wafer by using the polishing composition, a polishing speed of greater than 0.1 μm/min can be achieved.
Abstract:
Proposed is a method for polishing a semiconductor substrate including an intermediate polishing step of polishing in such a way that the number of surface defects having heights of less than 3 nm is 45% or more of the total number of the surface defects on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a final polishing step of finish-polishing the semiconductor substrate after the intermediate polishing step.
Abstract:
Proposed is a polishing composition including hydroxyethyl cellulose, water and abrasive grains, wherein the hydroxyethyl cellulose has a molecular weight of 500,000 or more and 1,500,000 or less, and the mass ratio of the hydroxyethyl cellulose to the abrasive grains is 0.0075 or more and 0.025 or less.
