Abstract

A polishing liquid for polishing a surface to be polished containing cobalt, the polishing liquid containing abrasive grains, at least one sugar component selected from the group consisting of a sugar alcohol, a sugar alcohol derivative, and a polysaccharide, an acid component, and water, in which a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 8.0.

Claims (39)

1. A polishing method of polishing a surface to be polished containing cobalt by using a polishing liquid, the polishing liquid comprising:

abrasive grains; at least one sugar component selected from the group consisting of a sugar alcohol, an oligosaccharide, and a polysaccharide, the polysaccharide including at least one selected from the group consisting of a cellulose derivative in which at least a part of the hydroxyl groups of cellulose is etherified, dextrin, maltodextrin, cyclodextrin, dextran, amylose, and amylopectin; an acid component; and water, wherein

the polishing liquid does not comprise an oxidant,

the polishing liquid does not comprise pullulan, and

a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 8.0.

2. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive grains contain silica.

3. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sugar component includes the sugar alcohol.

4. The polishing method according to claim 3 , wherein the sugar alcohol includes sorbitol.

5. The polishing method according to claim 3 , wherein a content of the at least one sugar component is 10% by mass or less and a content of the abrasive grains is 20% by mass or less on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid.

6. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sugar component includes the polysaccharide.

7. The polishing method according to claim 6 , wherein the polysaccharide includes at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl cellulose, dextrin, and dextran.

8. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the at least one sugar component is 0.01 to 20% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid.

9. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the acid component includes an organic acid.

10. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the abrasive grains is 0.5% by mass or more on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid, and

a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 9.0.

11. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the abrasive grains is 0.5% by mass or more on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid, and

the at least one sugar component includes the sugar alcohol.

12. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the abrasive grains is 0.5% by mass or more on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid,

the at least one sugar component includes the polysaccharide, and

the polysaccharide includes at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose, dextrin, and dextran.

13. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the acid component is 0.005 to 1.5% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid, and

a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 9.0.

14. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the acid component is 0.005 to 1.5% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid, and

the at least one sugar component includes the sugar alcohol.

15. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the acid component is 0.005 to 1.5% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the polishing liquid,

the at least one sugar component includes the polysaccharide, and

the polysaccharide includes at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose, dextrin, and dextran.

16. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the polishing liquid further comprises a metal corrosion inhibitor, and

a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 9.0.

17. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the polishing liquid further comprises a metal corrosion inhibitor, and

the at least one sugar component includes the sugar alcohol.

18. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the polishing liquid further comprises a metal corrosion inhibitor,

the at least one sugar component includes the polysaccharide, and

the polysaccharide includes at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose, dextrin, and dextran.

19. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one sugar component includes the sugar alcohol, and

a pH of the polishing liquid is more than 9.0.

20. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the acid component includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an organic acid, an organic acid ester, an organic acid salt, an inorganic acid, and an inorganic acid salt.

21. The polishing method according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose derivative includes at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl cellulose, and carboxyalkyl cellulose.
