Semiconductor device and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A method is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a multilayer wiring structure in which at least one insulating film is formed with a set of conducting portions which are electrically connected to each other to have a surface area of no less than 500 mum2 and which include a wiring having a width of no more than l.0 mum. The method includes a polishing step (501) for flattening the conducting portions together with the insulating film by chemical mechanical polishing, a chemical cleaning step (502) for cleaning the flattened surface of the insulating film with a cleaning liquid, and a rising step (503) for removing the cleaning liquid using a rinsing liquid. The rinsing step is performed using water with a dissolved oxygen concentration decreased to no more than 6 ppm by weight as the rinsing liquid.
