Abstract

To provide a polyvinyl alcohol composition effectively suppressed in generation of an aggregated product, in a method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor, containing a polyvinyl alcohol composition. A method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor, containing a polyvinyl alcohol composition, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol composition is obtained through an addition-in-liquid step of adding into the inside of any one solution of a first liquid containing polyvinyl alcohol and water and a second liquid other than the first liquid, the other liquid of the first liquid and the second liquid.

Claims (19)

1 . A method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor, containing a polyvinyl alcohol composition, wherein:

the polyvinyl alcohol composition is obtained through an addition-in-liquid step of adding into an inside of a first liquid containing polyvinyl alcohol and water a second liquid other than the first liquid, or adding the first liquid into an inside of the second liquid; and

the addition-in-liquid step is carried out in a stirring vessel having a stirring blade, and a ratio (L/D) of a stirring blade diameter (L) to an inner diameter (D) of the stirring vessel is 0.1 or more and 0.9 or less.

2 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , further comprising a filtration step of filtering the polyvinyl alcohol composition obtained through the addition-in-liquid step.

3 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein the first liquid is obtained by heating a polyvinyl alcohol dispersion liquid in which polyvinyl alcohol is dispersed in water, to 85-98° C. and then cooling the polyvinyl alcohol dispersion liquid to 15-50° C.

4 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein the addition-in-liquid step is a step of adding the first liquid into the second liquid retained in a vessel having a stirring tool.

5 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyvinyl alcohol in the polyvinyl alcohol composition in the addition-in-liquid step is 10% by mass or less based on a total mass of the polyvinyl alcohol composition.

6 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , further comprising an alkali addition step of adding an alkali to the polyvinyl alcohol composition obtained through the addition-in-liquid step.

7 . A polishing composition comprising a wetting agent for a semiconductor, produced by the production method according to claim 1 , and an abrasive.

8 . A method for producing a polishing composition, comprising mixing a wetting agent for a semiconductor, produced by the production method according to claim 1 , and an abrasive.

9 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein the addition-in-liquid step is carried out by using a supply pipe with an inner size of 5 mm or more and 50 cm or less.

10 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein the addition-in-liquid step is carried out by using a supply pipe and the supply pipe is open toward the bottom of the stirring vessel.

11 . The method for producing a wetting agent for a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein a supply speed of adding in the addition-in-liquid step is 50 mL/min or more and 20 L/min or less.

12 . A method for producing a polishing composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol composition, wherein:

the polyvinyl alcohol composition is obtained through an addition-in-liquid step of adding into an inside of a first liquid containing polyvinyl alcohol and water a second liquid other than the first liquid, or adding the first liquid into an inside of the second liquid; and

the addition-in-liquid step is carried out in a stirring vessel having a stirring blade, and a ratio (L/D) of a stirring blade diameter (L) to an inner diameter (D) of the stirring vessel is 0.1 or more and 0.9 or less.

13 . The method for producing a polishing composition according to claim 12 , wherein the addition-in-liquid step is carried out by using a supply pipe with an inner size of 5 mm or more and 50 cm or less.

14 . The method for producing a polishing composition according to claim 12 , wherein the addition-in-liquid step is carried out by using a supply pipe and the supply pipe is open toward the bottom of the stirring vessel.

15 . The method for producing a polishing composition according to claim 12 , wherein a supply speed of adding in the addition-in-liquid step is 50 mL/min or more and 20 L/min or less.
