摘要:
Electric conductivity is enhanced without causing coagulation or precipitation of polishing abrasive grains. In addition, good planarization is realized without inducing defects in a metallic film or a wiring which are to be polished. In an electropolishing method for planarizing the surface of a metallic film to be polished by moving a polishing pad (15) in sliding contact with the metallic film surface while oxidizing the metallic film surface through an electrolytic action in an electropolishing liquid E, the electropolishing liquid E contains at least polishing abrasive grains and an electrolyte for maintaining an electrostatically charged state of the polishing abrasive grains. Since the electropolishing liquid having a high electric conductivity is used, it is possible to obtain a high electrolyzing current and to enlarge the distance between electrodes. Besides, in the electropolishing method, the electropolishing liquid with a good dispersion state of the polishing abrasive grains is used, so that remaining of the abrasive grains and defects such as scratches are prevented from being generated upon polishing.

The object is to make it possible to pass an electric current to the object of polishing with a stable current density distribution up to the end point of polishing, to use the same plating apparatus, cleaning apparatus and other apparatuses as those conventionally used, and to carry out the conventional manufacturing process flow. A substrate (1) provided with a metallic film (2) and a opposite electrode (3) are disposed oppositely to each other with a predetermined distance therebetween in an electrolytic solution, and an electric current is passed to the metallic film (2) through the electrolytic solution by an anode (4) set out of contact with the metallic film (2), so as to electropolish the metallic film (2). Simultaneously with the electropolishing, wiping is conducted by sliding a pad on the metallic film.

Disclosed is a polishing system used for polishing a surface to be polished of an object to be polished by a polishing pad, which is capable of improving uniformity of the surface to be polished of the object to be polished by positively, accurately adjusting a polishing pressure, and a polishing method using the polishing system. Concretely, the surface to be polished of a wafer as the object to be polished is polished by relatively moving, along a plane, a polishing surface of the rotating polishing pad and the surface to be polished of the wafer in slide-contact with each other, and adjusting a pressing force applied from the polishing pad to the wafer in accordance with a polishing pressure previously set depending on a relative-positional relationship between the polishing surface of the polishing pad and the surface to be polished of the wafer.
