ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device manufacturing method wherein a via-hole is formed in an second inter-layer insulating film covering a lower layer wiring, throughout a surface of which are then formed a barrier film made of Ta (tantalum) and a Cu (copper) film sequentially, after which, first an unnecessary part of the Cu film is removed by a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) method using such a polishing liquid to which hydrogen peroxide is added by 1.5 weight-percent or more (first polishing step) and then an unnecessary part of the barrier film is removed by a CMP method for using a polishing liquid to which hydrogen peroxide is added by 0.09-1.5 weight-percent and applying a pressure of 4-10 Psi (pounds per square inch) on the barrier film (second polishing step).
