Abstract

The present invention provides a unit that can sufficiently remove a residue containing inorganic oxide abrasive grains present on the surface of a polished object to be polished containing silicon oxide. One aspect of the present invention relates to a surface treatment method for reducing a residue containing inorganic oxide abrasive grains on a surface of a polished object to be polished containing silicon oxide using a composition for surface treatment, wherein the composition for surface treatment contains a zeta potential adjusting agent having an sp value of more than 9 and 11 or less and having a negatively charged functional group and a dispersing medium, and the surface treatment method includes negatively controlling a zeta potential of the silicon oxide and controlling a zeta potential of the inorganic oxide abrasive grains to −30 mV or less using the surface treatment composition.
