Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is obtained which is capable of evading generation of a short circuit between wirings in an upper wiring layer even if a part of an upper surface of an FSG film is exposed by variations in a production step. After a USG film (4) is deposited to a thickness of 1 &mgr;m over an entire surface of an FSG film (3), the USG film (4) is polished and removed by a thickness of 900 nm from an upper surface thereof by the CMP method. At this time, a part of an upper surface of the FSG film (3) is exposed by variations in a production step. Next, the surface of the interlayer dielectric film (50) is cleaned with a cleaning liquid whose etching rate to the FSG film (3) and etching rate to the USG film (5) are substantially the same. Such a cleaning liquid may be, for example, an ammonia hydrogen peroxide mixture of NH4OH:H2O2:H2O=1:1:20. The structure shown in FIG. 5 is dipped in the above-mentioned ammonia hydrogen peroxide mixture for 60 seconds to clean the surface of the interlayer dielectric film (50).
