Abstract

A post-CMP washing liquid composition is provided which includes one type or two or more types of aliphatic polycarboxylic acids and one type or two or more types selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, ascorbic acid, glucose, fructose, lactose, and mannose, and which has a pH of less than 3.0. This washing liquid has excellent performance in removing micro particles and metal impurities adhering to the surface of a semiconductor substrate after CMP and does not corrode a metal wiring material.

Claims (5)

1. A post-OMP washing liquid composition consisting of one type or two or more types of aliphatic polycarboxylic acids and one type or two or more types selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, ascorbic acid, glucose, fructose, lactose, and mannose, the washing liquid composition having a pH of less than 3.0.

2. The post-CMP washing liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic polycarboxylic acid is oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, or citric acid.

3. The post-CMP washing liquid composition according to either claim 1 or 2 , wherein the amount of glyoxylic acid, ascorbic acid, glucose, fructose, lactose, and mannose used is 0.03 to 5.0 wt %.

4. A post-CMP washing liquid composition consisting of one type or two or more types of aliphatic polycarboxylic acids, one type or two or more types selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, ascorbic acid, glucose, fructose, lactose, and mannose and a surfactant, the washing liquid composition having a pH of less than 3.0.

5. The post-CMP washing liquid composition according to either claim 1 or 2 , wherein it is used for a substrate having a structure in which Cu is in contact with a different type of metal, the substrate having Cu wiring after CMP.
