摘要： A method for polishing an object to form wiring for a semiconductor device includes: removing part of an outside portion of a conductor layer through chemical and mechanical polishing to expose an upper surface of a barrier layer; and removing a remaining part of the outside portion of the conductor layer and an outside portion of the barrier layer through chemical and mechanical polishing to expose an upper surface of an insulator layer. When removing part of the outside portion of the conductor layer, the upper surface of the object is chemically and mechanically polished using a first polishing composition containing a film forming agent. Subsequently, the upper surface of the object is washed to remove a protective film formed on an upper surface of the conductor layer by the film forming agent in the first polishing composition. Thereafter, the upper surface of the object is chemically and mechanically polished again using a second polishing composition containing the film forming agent. Thus, the wiring of the semiconductor device is reliably formed.

摘要： A copper alloy sliding material which can bring about superior resistance to fatigue as well as good anti-seizure property without containing any Pb. The copper alloy sliding material is made to have the structure in which both of the hard copper alloy phase and the soft copper alloy phase coexist in a mixture state. On the surface of the sliding material, the soft copper alloy phase comes to have a shape more concave than that of the hard copper alloy phase when receiving a load or when being in a sliding wear relation, in which concave portions is retained lubricant with the result that the anti-seizure property is enhanced. Further, since the soft phase and the hard phase are made of the same copper alloy, the wettability thereof becomes good, and Ni and etc. contained in the hard copper alloy phase are diffused into the soft copper alloy phase, so that the hardness of the boundary portion defined between the phases come to be gradually varied. Thus, because of the unclear boundary, the load received in the hard phase comes to be spread in a wide range without being concentrated at the boundary, so that the fatigue strength is enhanced.

摘要： Sensors detect a stock removal of a wafer during polishing, and a CPU calculates the stock removal in accordance with information from the sensors. The CPU compares the actual stock removal detected by the sensors and a model stock removal stored in RAM, and determines timings for dressing and replacing said polishing pad in accordance with a difference between the actual stock removal and the model stock removal. The determination results are shown on a display.
