Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device and a processing apparatus for planarization wherein to form copper wiring in multiple layers. The removal of a residue of polishing by local electro polishing, the enhancement of the performance of planarization by using a grindstone and the reduction by small frictional force in electro polishing of damage, are enabled. To achieve the object, the following measures are taken. A residue of polishing of copper is removed by combining the detection of a local area including the residue of polishing of copper and local processing for electro polishing. As small-load processing for planarization is enabled by using electro polishing, multilayer interconnection structure using low-k material as a dielectric interlayer is also enabled. Plural pairs of small unit electrodes in a pair of which minus electrodes surround a plus electrode are provided to a tool for electro polishing, each electrode is connected to a power supply, pulse voltage is applied to each electrode and copper is electrolytically polished.
