Method for manufacturing abrasive grains, composition for chemical mechanical polishing, and method for chemical mechanical polishing

Abstract

Provided are abrasive grains and a composition for chemical mechanical polishing which are for selectively polishing a silicon nitride film, and which are applicable not only to silicon oxide films but also to amorphous silicon films and polysilicon films. This method for manufacturing abrasive grains includes: a first step of heating a mixture which contains particles having a sulfanyl group (—SH) fixed to the surface thereof via covalent bonds, and which contains a compound having carbon-carbon unsaturated double bonds; and a second step, which is performed after the first step, of further adding a peroxide and carrying out heating.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
