- the polishing liquid according to the present embodiment contains abrasive grains.
- Abrasive grains are also referred to as “abrasive particles”, but are referred to herein as “abrasive grains”.
- Abrasive grains are generally solid particles, and are removed by mechanical action (physical action) of abrasive grains and chemical action of abrasive grains (mainly the surface of the abrasive grains) during polishing. Although it is considered that an object is removed, the present invention is not limited to this.
- the polishing liquid according to this embodiment is, for example, a polishing liquid for CMP.
- the polishing liquid according to this embodiment includes abrasive grains, a hydroxy compound, and a polymer compound (hereinafter referred to as “polymer compound A”) containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group (hydroxyl group) and an amide group.

Examples of the reason why such excellent cleaning properties can be obtained include the following reasons. However, the reason is not limited to the following.
- the value of the zeta potential decreases.
- the weight average molecular weight of the high molecular compound A is 3000 or more, since the high molecular compound A tends to cover an abrasive grain, the value of zeta potential tends to become small. In this case, the adsorptivity (reactivity) of the abrasive grains with respect to the insulating material that tends to have a negative charge tends to be lowered.
- the use of the polymer compound A improves the wettability of the surface to be polished with respect to the cleaning liquid used in the cleaning process. Further, when a hydroxy acid is used, the hydrophilicity is improved by adsorbing the hydroxy acid to the abrasive grains, thereby improving the affinity between the abrasive grains and the cleaning liquid. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is speculated that excellent cleaning properties can be obtained because the abrasive grains are easily removed in the cleaning step after polishing.
- the use of the polymer compound A improves the wettability of the polishing pad and the surface to be polished with respect to the polishing liquid. Thereby, since the polishing liquid does not easily stay between the polishing pad and the surface to be polished, the amount of abrasive grains remaining after the polishing can be reduced as compared with the case where the polymer compound A is not used.
- this embodiment it is possible to obtain excellent cleaning properties while obtaining an excellent polishing rate.

Abstract
Description
本明細書において、「~」を用いて示された数値範囲は、「~」の前後に記載される数値をそれぞれ最小値及び最大値として含む範囲を示す。本明細書に段階的に記載されている数値範囲において、ある段階の数値範囲の上限値又は下限値は、他の段階の数値範囲の上限値又は下限値と任意に組み合わせることができる。本明細書に記載されている数値範囲において、その数値範囲の上限値又は下限値は、実施例に示されている値に置き換えてもよい。「A又はB」とは、A及びBのどちらか一方を含んでいればよく、両方とも含んでいてもよい。本明細書に例示する材料は、特に断らない限り、1種を単独で又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。本明細書において、組成物中の各成分の含有量は、組成物中に各成分に該当する物質が複数存在する場合、特に断らない限り、組成物中に存在する当該複数の物質の合計量を意味する。「工程」との語は、独立した工程だけではなく、他の工程と明確に区別できない場合であってもその工程の所期の作用が達成されれば、本用語に含まれる。
本実施形態に係る研磨液は、例えばCMP用研磨液である。本実施形態に係る研磨液は、砥粒と、ヒドロキシ酸と、水酸基(ヒドロキシル基)及びアミド基からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種を含む高分子化合物(以下、「高分子化合物A」という)と、液状媒体と、を含有し、前記砥粒のゼータ電位が正であり、前記高分子化合物Aの重量平均分子量が3000以上である。
また、高分子化合物Aを用いることによって、洗浄工程で使用される洗浄液に対する被研磨面のぬれ性が向上する。さらに、ヒドロキシ酸を用いると、ヒドロキシ酸が砥粒に吸着することで親水性が向上することによって、砥粒と洗浄液との親和性が向上する。
以上により、本実施形態によれば、研磨後の洗浄工程で砥粒が除去されやすいことから優れた洗浄性が得られると推察される。
本実施形態に係る研磨液は、研磨液中において正のゼータ電位を有する砥粒を含有する。砥粒は、絶縁材料を高い研磨速度で研磨しやすい観点から、セリウム酸化物(例えば、セリア(酸化セリウム(IV)))、シリカ、アルミナ、ジルコニア、イットリア及び4価金属元素の水酸化物からなる群より選択される少なくとも一種を含むことが好ましく、セリウム酸化物を含むことがより好ましい。砥粒は、一種を単独で又は二種以上を組み合わせて使用することができる。
すなわち、水分散液を遠心分離したときに得られる液相における波長380nmの光に対する吸光度が0を超える場合、このような遠心分離では、複合粒子が選択的に除去されやすく、遊離粒子を固形分として含有する液相を得ることが可能であり、吸光度が0を超える場合、砥粒は、複合粒子に加えて遊離粒子を含む。遊離粒子は複合粒子と比較して粒径が小さいため、拡散速度が高く、絶縁材料の表面に優先的に吸着して当該表面を被覆する。この場合、複合粒子は、絶縁材料に直接的に作用するだけでなく、絶縁材料に吸着した遊離粒子にも作用して間接的にも絶縁材料に作用することができる(例えば、絶縁材料に吸着した遊離粒子を介して物理的作用を絶縁材料へ伝達することができる)。これにより、絶縁材料の研磨速度を向上させやすいと推察される。
吸光度 =-LOG10(光透過率[%]/100)
本実施形態に係る研磨液は、添加剤を含有する。ここで、「添加剤」とは、砥粒及び液状媒体以外に研磨液が含有する物質を指す。

本実施形態に係る研磨液のpHの下限は、優れた洗浄性が得られやすい(例えば、砥粒の正のゼータ電位の絶対値が低下することにより砥粒と絶縁材料との静電引力を低減させやすい)観点から、2.0以上が好ましく、2.5以上がより好ましく、3.0以上が更に好ましく、3.2以上が特に好ましく、3.4以上が極めて好ましく、3.5以上が非常に好ましく、4.0以上がより一層好ましい。pHの上限は、優れた洗浄性が得られやすい観点から、8.0以下が好ましく、8.0未満がより好ましく、7.5以下が更に好ましく、7.0以下が特に好ましく、6.5以下が極めて好ましく、6.0以下が非常に好ましく、5.0以下がより一層好ましい。これらの観点から、研磨液のpHは、2.0~8.0がより好ましく、2.0~7.0が更に好ましい。pHは、3.0未満であってよく、2.8以下であってよく、2.5以下であってよい。研磨液のpHは、液温25℃におけるpHと定義する。
