To provide a slurry supply tank for stably supplying slurry onto a substrate during CMP treatment, and the manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using the supply tank, where the slurry supply tank is a slurry tank that is provided directly before being supplied to the substrate and is used relatively immediately, or a tank for storing slurry for a long time.
A cut-off device 101 for cutting off the gas-liquid interface of chemical liquid such as slurry 100 supplied to the substrate during CMP treatment is provided in the supply tank 103. The generation of bubbles by a surface-active agent in slurry that cause a problem when operating a slurry supply device, the diffusion of such effective constituent as ammonium, and the like are decreased, thus achieving a stable process and hence improving the productivity of the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device or the like.
