Abstract

The CMP polishing liquid of the present invention contains 1,2,4-triazole, a phosphoric acid, an oxidant, and abrasive particles. The polishing method of the present invention is a substrate polishing method for polishing a substrate with a polishing cloth while supplying a CMP polishing liquid between the substrate and the polishing cloth, in which the substrate is a substrate having a palladium layer, and the CMP polishing liquid is a CMP polishing liquid containing 1,2,4-triazole, a phosphoric acid, an oxidant, and abrasive particles.

Claims (16)

1. A substrate polishing method, comprising:

preparing a substrate comprising a palladium layer; and

removing at least a portion of the palladium layer by polishing the substrate with a polishing cloth while supplying a CMP polishing liquid between the substrate and the polishing cloth, wherein

the CMP polishing liquid comprises 0.05-10 mass % of 1,2,4-triazole, 0.02-20 mass % of phosphoric acids, 0.05-20 mass % of hydrogen peroxide, and abrasive particles, the abrasive particles comprise colloidal silica, and

a pH of the CMP polishing liquid is 1-4.

2. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the abrasive particles is 0.1 to 10% by mass, based on the total mass of the CMP polishing liquid.

3. The substrate polishing method according to claim 1 wherein the phosphoric acids consist of phosphoric acid, and the abrasive particles consist of colloidal silica.

4. The substrate polishing method according to claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises an insulating film and the palladium layer.

5. The substrate polishing method according to claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises an underlying metal layer and the palladium layer; and

the removing at least a portion of the palladium layer removes at least a portion of the underlying metal layer and a portion of the palladium layer.

6. The substrate polishing method according to claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises an insulating film, a primary under barrier metal layer and a secondary under barrier metal layer, wherein either one of the primary under barrier metal layer or the secondary under barrier metal layer consists of the palladium layer; and

the removing at least a portion of the palladium layer removes at least a portion of the primary under barrier metal layer and a portion of the secondary under barrier metal layer.

7. The substrate polishing method according to claim 6 wherein either one of the primary under barrier metal layer or the secondary under barrier metal layer consists of the palladium layer and the other under barrier metal layer consists of a nickel layer.

8. The substrate polishing method according to claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises an insulating film, an underlying metal layer, a primary under barrier metal layer and a secondary under barrier metal layer, wherein either one of the primary under barrier metal layer or the secondary under barrier metal layer consists of the palladium layer; and

the removing at least a portion of the palladium layer removes at least a portion of the underlying metal layer, a portion of the primary under barrier metal layer and a portion of the secondary under barrier metal layer.

9. The polishing method according to claim 8 , wherein either one of the primary under barrier metal layer or the secondary under barrier metal layer consists of the palladium layer and the other under barrier metal layer consists of a nickel layer.
