Abstract:
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a polishing liquid for polishing a barrier layer of a semiconductor integrated circuit, the polishing liquid including colloidal silica covered at a portion of a surface thereof with aluminum, and an oxidizing agent, wherein the polishing liquid has a pH of from 2 to 7.
Abstract:
A barrier polishing liquid is provided that includes (a) a nonionic surfactant represented by Formula (I) below, (b) at least one type of organic acid selected from the group consisting of an aromatic sulfonic acid, an aromatic carboxylic acid, and a derivative thereof, (c) colloidal silica, and (d) benzotriazole or a derivative thereof. (In Formula (I), R1 to R6 independently denote a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbons, X and Y independently denote an ethyleneoxy group or a propyleneoxy group, and m and n independently denote an integer of 0 to 20.) There is also provided a chemical mechanical polishing method that includes supplying the barrier polishing liquid to a polishing pad on a polishing platen at a flow rate per unit area of a semiconductor substrate per unit time of 0.035 to 0.25 mL/(min·cm2), and polishing by making the polishing pad and a surface to be polished move relative to each other while they are in a contacted state.
