ABSTRACT:
In order to polish an insulating film, a cerium oxide polishing agent (ceria slurry) is used. The ceria slurry is composed of cerium oxide powder containing Na, Ca, Fe, and Cr concentration of which is less than 10 ppm. Fragile inorganic and organic insulating films formed at relatively low temperatures can be polished without degrading the characteristics of the semiconductor element due to Na diffusion.
