PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve dispersibility of abrasive particles in abrasive slurry for elimination of occurrence of flaws on a to-be-polished surface and to perfectly remove abrasive particles after polishing by using, as the abrasives for semiconductor manufacture, a water emulsion containing vinyl compound polymer resin particles obtained by emulsion polymerization. SOLUTION: As abrasive for manufacturing a semiconductor, a water emulsion containing vinyl compound polymer resin particles obtained by emulsion polymerization is used. In short, emulsifier, super pure water, and vinyl compound such as styrene and methyl methacrylate are agitated and mixed to prepare monomer emulsion liquid of vinyl compound. Then, the emulsifier and super pure water are put in a reaction vessel comprising temperature adjuster and agitator, and its temperature raised to a specified value, then the inside of reaction vessel is replaced with nitrogen gas. After that, polymerization triggering agent is supplied in the reaction vessel, and such monomer emulsion liquid as prepared before is supplied at a constant speed to obtain a resin emulsion wherein copolymer particles of styrene and methyl methacrylate is diffused.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a surface particle number-controlled semiconductor wafer by taking a specified amt. of particle dispersed liq. and dispensed on the surface of a semiconductor wafer, the wafer is heated to evaporate the solvent in this liq. SOLUTION: Particles of a weight obtained from a previously formed calibration curve are added to a specified vol. of solvent to prepare a particle-dispersed liq. of required particle concn. A specified amount is taken by a pipette 1 and divided and dispensed on the surface of a semiconductor wafer 4 uniformly without deviation over the entire surface, the wafer is heated to remove the solvent from the divided and dispensed particle liq. 3, thereby leaving the particles as residual particles 5 on the wafer 4. Thus it is possible to produce a particle-treated semiconductor wafer with controlled number of surface deposited particles by a convenient method.
