Abstract

This invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing slurry for polishing a metal film formed on an insulating film with a concave on a substrate wherein the slurry contains a thickener without an ionic group with an opposite sign to a charge on a polishing material surface to 0.001 wt % or more and less than 0.05 wt % to the total amount of the slurry and has a slurry viscosity of 1 mPa·s to 5 mPa·s both inclusive. The polishing slurry may be used in CMP to form a reliable damascene electric connection with excellent electric properties at a higher polishing rate, i.e., a higher throughput while preventing dishing or erosion.
