Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a polishing liquid which is used for chemical mechanical polishing of a body to be polished having a layer containing polysilicon or a modified polysilicon, and using which the polishing rate of a layer containing a silicon-based material other than polysilicon is high and polishing of the layer containing polysilicon can be selectively suppressed. The polishing liquid includes components (A), (B), and (C), has a pH of from 1.5 to 7.0, and is capable of selectively polishing a second layer with respect to a first layer: (A) colloidal silica particles having a negative ζ potential; (B) phosphoric acid or an organic phosphonic acid compound represented by the following Formula (1) or (2); and (C) an anionic surfactant having at least one group represented by the following Formulae (I) to (IV): R 2 —C(R 3 ) 3-a —(PO 3 H 2 ) a   Formula (1): R 4 —N(R 5 ) m —(CH 2 —PO 3 H 2 ) n   Formula (2): —PO 3 X 2   Formula (I): —OPO 3 X 2   Formula (II): —COOX  Formula (III): —SO 3 X  Formula (IV).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A polishing liquid which is used for chemical mechanical polishing of a body to be polished in a planarization process for fabrication of a semiconductor integrated circuit, in which the body to be polished comprises at least a first layer comprising polysilicon or a polysilicon doped with an impurity element of P or B, and a second layer comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon car…
