The invention provides a method of polishing a substrate, which method comprises the steps of (i) providing a polishing composition, (ii) providing a substrate comprising at least one metal layer, and (iii) abrading at least a portion of the metal layer with the polishing composition to polish the substrate. The polishing composition comprises an abrasive and a liquid carrier, wherein the abrasive comprises metal oxide particles having a surface with a silane compound adhered to a portion thereof and a polymer adhered to the silane compound and wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of water-soluble polymers and water-emulsifiable polymers. The invention also provides a polishing composition as described above, wherein the total amount of abrasive particles present in the polishing composition is no greater than about 20% by weight of the polishing composition, and the metal oxide particles do not comprise zirconia.

The invention provides compositions and methods for planarizing or polishing a surface. One composition comprises about 0. 01 wt. % to about 20 wt. % α-alumina particles, wherein the α-alumina particles have an average diameter of 200 nm or less, and 80% of the α-alumina particles have a diameter of about 500 nm or less, an organic acid, a corrosion inhibitor, and water. Another composition comprises α-alumina particles, an organic acid, dual corrosion inhibitors of triazole and benzotriazole, wherein the wt. % ratio of the triazole to benzotriazole is about 0. 1 to about 4. 8, and water.

International Classification:
C09K 3/14
US Classification:
051307000
Abstract:
The invention provides a polishing composition comprising (a) particles of an abrasive comprising a first metal oxide and a second metal oxide adhered to at least a portion of a surface of the first metal oxide, (b) a water-soluble or water-emulsifiable polymer, wherein the water-soluble or water-emulsifiable polymer coats at least a portion of the second metal oxide such that the zeta potential of the abrasive is changed, and (c) water. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate through use of such a polishing composition.

International Classification:
C09K 13/00 C03C 15/00 H01L 21/302
US Classification:
216088000, 252079100, 438692000
Abstract:
A composition suitable for copper chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) comprises an abrasive powder, such as a silica and/or alumina abrasive, in a liquid carrier. The composition has a transition metal content of less than about 5 parts per million (ppm), preferably less than about 2 ppm. Preferably the composition contains less than about 2 ppm of yttrium, zirconium, and/or iron. The CMP compositions, when combined with hydrogen peroxide, provide CMP slurries for copper CMP that have improved pot life by ameliorating hydrogen peroxide degradation in slurries.
