- the protective film forming agent is preferably at least one protective film forming agent selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole and derivatives thereof in that the polishing rate can be further improved. Since the abrasive grains are particularly excellent in polishing characteristics, colloidal silica and / or colloidal alumina having an average particle diameter of 100 nm or less is preferable.
- the oxidizing agent is preferably at least one oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, persulfuric acid and persulfate because of its particularly high polishing promoting action.
- the present invention also provides a laminating step of laminating a metal film containing copper on a substrate, and polishing for removing a part of the metal film by polishing the metal film containing copper using the abrasive of the present invention.
- a polishing method comprising: steps. According to this polishing method, since the polishing agent of the present invention is used, both high polishing rate and smooth polishing can be achieved, so that both improvement in productivity and improvement in product yield can be achieved.
- the above polishing method can achieve both high polishing rate and smooth polishing, it can be suitably applied to the metal film having a maximum thickness of 5 ⁇ m or more, particularly 10 ⁇ m or more.
