In numerical ranges described in the present specification, the upper limit value or the lower limit value described in one numerical range may be replaced with values described in Examples.In the present specification, the "total solid contents in the polishing liquid" means the total mass of all components included in the polishing liquid excluding water and solvents such as organic solvents, and the "total solid contents in the washing liquid" means the total mass of all components included in the washing liquid excluding water and solvents such as organic solvents.A compound described in the present specification may include a structural isomer, an optical isomer, and an isotope unless otherwise specified.

This also applies to the definition of the number of substituents or the like.The bonding direction of a divalent group given in the present specification is not limited unless otherwise specified. For example, in a compound represented by a formula "X-Y-Z" where Y is -COO-, Y may be -CO-O- or -O-CO-.

When the semiconductor substrate has a metal, the metal may not only be located directly on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, but also be located on the semiconductor substrate with another layer interposed therebetween.The metal is, for example, at least one metal M selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), ruthenium (Ru), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), chromium (Cr), hafnium (Hf), osmium (Os), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), palladium (Pd), lanthanum (La), and iridium (Ir), preferably Cu, Co, or Ru, more preferably Cu.

The polishing pad is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a commonly used nonwoven fabric, polyurethane foam, or a porous fluorocarbon resin.The polishing pressure during the CMP is often selected from the range of 10 to 980 hPa, and is preferably 30 to 250 hPa, more preferably 65 to 160 hPa, where the occurrence of scratch defects and irregularities on the polished surface can be suppressed. The polishing pressure means a pressure generated on the contact surface between the surface to be polished and the polishing pad.The rotation speed of the polishing platen during the CMP is often selected from the range of 10 to 400 rpm, and is preferably 50 to 200 rpm, more preferably 60 to 160 rpm.To move the treatment target and the polishing pad relative to each other, the holder may be rotated and / or oscillated, the polishing platen may be rotated in a planetary manner, or a belt-like polishing pad may be linearly moved in a single longitudinal direction. The holder may be in a fixed state, a rotating state, or an oscillating state. These polishing methods can be appropriately selected according to the surface to be polished and / or the polishing apparatus.In the CMP, while the surface to be polished is polished, the polishing liquid is preferably fed continuously to the polishing pad on the polishing platen with a pump or the like. The feed amount of the polishing liquid is not limited, but the surface of the polishing pad is preferably always covered with the polishing liquid.The feed rate of the polishing liquid is preferably 10 to 1000 mL / min, more preferably 170 to 500 mL / min, where the occurrence of scratch defects and irregularities on the polished surface can be suppressed.The CMP may be performed only once or twice or more. When the CMP is performed twice or more, the polishing conditions, such as the polishing pressure, the polishing rate, and the feed rate of the polishing liquid, and the polishing liquid used may each be the same or varied.<<Step 2>>The step 2 is a step, after the step 1, of washing the treatment target subjected to chemical mechanical polishing using the washing liquid described above.The washing treatment can be performed by a known method, such as bringing the treatment target and the washing liquid into contact with each other.The method of bringing the treatment target and the washing liquid into contact with each other is not particularly limited; examples include immersing the treatment target into the washing liquid placed in a tank, spraying the washing liquid onto the treatment target, pouring the washing liquid over the treatment target, and combinations thereof. These methods may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use.For the above method, a system usually performed in this field may be appropriately employed. For example, scrub washing in which a washing member such as a brush is brought into physical contact with the surface of the treatment target to remove residues and the like while the washing liquid is fed, or the spin (drop) system in which the washing liquid is dropped while the treatment target is rotated may be employed. In the immersion system, the treatment target immersed in the washing liquid is preferably subjected to ultrasonic treatment because impurities remaining on the surface of the treatment target can be further reduced.The treatment target and the washing liquid may be brought into contact with each other only once or twice or more. When they are brought into contact with each other twice or more, the same method may be repeated, or different methods may be used in combination.The method of the washing treatment may be a single-wafer method or a batch method.The single-wafer method is generally a method in which treatment targets are treated one by one, and the batch method is generally a method in which a plurality of treatment targets are simultaneously treated.The temperature of the washing liquid is not particularly limited as long as it is a temperature usually used in this field. The washing is typically performed at room temperature (about 25°C), but the temperature can be freely selected from the viewpoint of improving defect removability and preventing damage to members. For example, the temperature of the washing liquid is preferably 10°C to 60°C, more preferably 15°C to 50°C.The time of contact between the treatment target and the washing liquid can be appropriately varied according to the types and contents of the components included in the washing liquid and the intended target and use of the washing liquid. Practically, the time is preferably 10 to 120 seconds, more preferably 20 to 90 seconds, still more preferably 30 to 60 seconds.The feed amount (feed rate) of the washing liquid is preferably 50 to 5000 mL / min, more preferably 500 to 2000 mL / min.When the treatment target and the washing liquid are brought into contact with each other, a mechanical stirring method may be used in order to enhance the treatment capacity of the washing liquid.Examples of the mechanical stirring method include circulating the washing liquid on the treatment target, flowing or spraying the washing liquid over or onto the treatment target, and stirring the washing liquid with ultrasonic or megasonic waves.<<Other Steps>>The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention may have other steps other than the steps described above. Examples of the other steps include a pad washing step, a rinsing step, and a drying step.<Pad Washing Step>The pad washing step is a step, between the step 1 and the step 2, of reducing residues present on the treatment target surface using a pad. Specifically, the surface of the treatment target subjected to CMP and the pad are brought into contact with each other, and while a composition for pad washing is fed to the part of contact, the treatment target and the pad are slid relative to each other. As a result, the residues on the surface of the treatment target are removed under the frictional force of the pad and the chemical action of the composition for pad washing.The pad is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the type of the treatment target, the type of the residue to be removed, and the apparatus used. The pad may be, for example, a polishing pad used in CMP, or may be a buff pad such as a polyurethane foam buff pad, a nonwoven fabric, a suede buff pad, or a sponge. The pad washing treatment using a pad includes a treatment called buff washing or buff polishing.As the composition for pad washing, a known composition for washing can be used according to the type of the treatment target and the type and amount of the residue to be removed. Examples of components included in the composition for pad washing include water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, dispersion media such as water, and acids such as nitric acid. The washing liquid included in the kit can be used as the composition for pad washing. The composition for pad washing does not include an abrasive grain.The apparatus and conditions used in the pad washing treatment can be appropriately selected from known apparatuses and conditions according to the type of the treatment target and the type and amount of the residue to be removed. For example, a treatment method described in paragraphs
[0085] to
[0088] of WO2017 / 169539A, the contents of which are incorporated herein, can be used.It is also preferable to perform the pad washing treatment using, as the composition for pad washing, a liquid obtained by removing the abrasive grain from the polishing liquid of the kit or the washing liquid of the kit. The washing liquid used in the pad washing treatment may be a diluted washing liquid.<Rinsing Step>The rinsing step is a step of bringing the treatment target and a rinsing liquid into contact with each other. By performing the rinsing step, the treatment target can be washed with the rinsing liquid to efficiently remove defects on the treatment target surface.The rinsing step is preferably performed subsequently to the step 2.The rinsing step is preferably a step of rinsing the treatment target using the rinsing liquid. The rinsing step may be performed using any of the above mechanical stirring methods.Examples of the rinsing liquid include water (preferably DI water), methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), N-methylpyrrolidinone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethylsulfoxide, ethyl lactate, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate. An aqueous rinsing liquid having a pH of more than 8.0 (e.g., diluted aqueous ammonium hydroxide) may also be used.The rinsing liquid can be brought into contact with the treatment target by any of the above-described methods by which the washing liquid is brought into contact with the treatment target.The time of contact between the treatment target and the rinsing liquid can be appropriately varied according to the types and contents of the components included in the washing liquid and the intended target and use of the washing liquid. Practically, the time is preferably 10 to 120 seconds, more preferably 20 to 90 seconds, still more preferably 30 to 60 seconds.<Drying Step>The drying step is a step of drying the treatment target. By performing the drying step, liquid components on the treatment target surface can be removed, and defects in subsequent steps can be reduced.The drying step is preferably performed after the step 2 or the rinsing step, and when the present manufacturing process has the rinsing step, the drying step is more preferably performed after the rinsing step.Examples of the method of drying include spin drying, flowing a dry gas over the treatment target, heating the substrate by heating means such as a hot plate or an infrared lamp, marangoni drying, rotagoni drying, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) drying, and any combination thereof.<Other Manufacturing Steps>The present manufacturing method may be performed in combination before or after other steps performed on the substrate in manufacturing an electronic device.Examples of the other manufacturing steps include steps of forming structures such as a metal wiring line, a gate structure, a source structure, a drain structure, an insulating film, a ferromagnetic layer, and a nonmagnetic layer (e.g., layer formation, etching, chemical mechanical polishing, and modification), steps of forming, exposing, and removing a resist, a heat treatment step, a washing step, and an inspection step.The present manufacturing method may be performed at any stage during the back end of the line (BEOL) process, the middle of the line (MOL) process, and the front end of the line (FEOL) process, and is preferably performed during the front end of the line process or the middle of the line process.The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to Examples.The materials, amounts, proportions, treatments, treatment procedures, etc. given in the following Examples may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
