本実施形態のCMP研磨液は、添加剤を更に含んでいてもよい。ここで、「添加剤」とは、複合粒子の分散性、研磨特性、保存安定性等を調整するために、水や砥粒以外にCMP研磨液に含まれる物質を指す。
本実施形態のCMP研磨液は、水を含有する。水としては、特に制限はないが、脱イオン水、超純水が好ましい。水の含有量は、他の含有成分の含有量を除いたCMP研磨液の残部でよく、特に限定されない。
本実施形態のCMP研磨液のpHは、CMP研磨液の保存安定性や研磨速度に優れる点で、9.5以下である。CMP研磨液のpHが9.5以下であることにより、砥粒の凝集を抑制できる。本実施形態のCMP研磨液のpHは、砥粒の粒径の安定性、及び、絶縁膜に対する効率的な研磨速度が得られる観点で、9.0以下が好ましく、8.5以下がより好ましく、8.0以下が更に好ましく、7.5以下が特に好ましく、7.0以下が極めて好ましい。また、本実施形態のCMP研磨液のpHは、絶縁膜に対する効率的な研磨速度が得られる点で、3.0以上が好ましく、3.5以上がより好ましく、4.0以上が更に好ましく、4.5以上が特に好ましく、5.0以上が極めて好ましい。
本実施形態のCMP研磨液の製造方法は、シリカ及び水酸化セリウムを含有する複合粒子を作製する複合粒子作製工程を備えている。また、本実施形態のCMP研磨液の製造方法は、複合粒子作製工程の後、洗浄工程と分散工程と砥粒含有量調整工程とを任意に備えている。なお、洗浄工程及び分散工程の順序は特に限定されるものではなく、洗浄工程及び分散工程のそれぞれは複数回繰り返されてもよい。
以上説明したCMP研磨液を用いることで、被研磨膜(例えば絶縁膜)を有する基板の該被研磨膜を良好な研磨速度で研磨することが可能となる。
シリカ及び水酸化セリウムを含む複合粒子(以下「シリカ/水酸化セリウム複合粒子」という)を含むCMP研磨液、シリカ粒子及び水酸化セリウム粒子のいずれか一方を単独で含むCMP研磨液、並びに、シリカ粒子及び水酸化セリウム粒子を単に混ぜ合わせたCMP研磨液の、製造方法及び諸特性について実施例1及び比較例1~3に示す。

洗浄:CMP処理後、超音波水による洗浄を行った後、スピンドライヤで乾燥させた。
前記研磨条件で研磨及び洗浄した基板について、酸化珪素層に対する研磨速度(SiO2RR)を求めた。具体的には、研磨前後での前記酸化珪素層の膜厚差を、光干渉式膜厚測定装置を用いて測定し、次式より求めた。
(SiO2RR)=(研磨前後での酸化珪素層の膜厚差(Å))/(研磨時間(min))
