| abstract |
The invention relates to a polishing liquid for metal film comprising 7.0% by weight or more of an oxidizer for metal, a water-soluble polymer, an oxidized metal dissolving agent, a metal anticorrosive agent and water, provided that the total amount of the polishing liquid for metal film is 100% by weight, wherein the water-soluble polymer has a weight average molecular weight of 150,000 or more and is at least one member selected from among a polycarboxylic acid, a salt of a polycarboxylic acid, and a polycarboxylic acid ester. According to the invention, provided is a polishing liquid for metal film, by which polishing can be performed at a high rate even under a polishing pressure as low as 1 psi or lower, and such that a polished film after polishing is excellent in planarity, furthermore, with which a high polishing rate can be obtained even in an initial stage of polishing, and provided is a polishing method using the polishing liquid. |
