<p>This invention relates to a process for forming a metal interconnect comprising the steps of forming a concave in an insulating film formed on a substrate, forming a copper-containing metal film over the whole surface such that the concave is filled with the metal and then polishing the copper-containing metal film by chemical mechanical polishing, characterized in that the polishing step is conducted using a chemical mechanical polishing slurry comprising a polishing material, an oxidizing agent and an adhesion inhibitor preventing adhesion of a polishing product to a polishing pad, while contacting the polishing pad to a polished surface with a pressure of at least 27 kPa. This invention allows us to prevent adhesion of a polishing product to a polishing pad and to form a uniform interconnect layer with an improved throughput, even when polishing a large amount of copper-containing metal during a polishing step.</p> |
