Abstract

Object: To provide a polishing composition which is capable of polishing a tantalum-containing compound at a high stock removal rate and whereby the copper surface after polishing is scarcely corroded, and to provide a polishing process where dishing can be minimized. Means to accomplish the object: A polishing composition comprising an abrasive, oxalic acid, an ethylenediamine derivative, a benzotriazole derivative and water and not containing an oxidizing agent, and a polishing composition comprising an abrasive, oxalic acid, an ethylenediamine derivative, a benzotriazole derivative, water and hydrogen peroxide. Further, a polishing process for forming a copper printed wiring, which is a polishing process for a semiconductor device and which comprises a first polishing step wherein polishing is completed immediately before reaching a barrier layer while a copper layer still slightly remains, and second and third polishing steps wherein the remaining copper layer and the barrier layer are polished, wherein in the second polishing step, a polishing composition containing hydrogen peroxide is used and all the copper layer to be removed, is removed by polishing, and then, in the thir…
