thermally treating the polishing target film at a temperature equal to or higher than 900 degrees Celsius after the implantation of the ions of C or Si and before a polishing of the polishing target film;
polishing the modified surface of the polishing target film by a CMP method, and
implanting ions of F, B, P, or N serving as impurities into the central portion of the polishing target film to cause an impurity concentration of ions of F, B, P, or N to be larger than an impurity concentration of ions of C or Si in the central portion after the thermally treatment and before the polish.
