Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition suitable for polishing low-k dielectric materials. The composition comprises a particulate abrasive material, at least one silicone-free nonionic surfactant comprising a hydrophilic portion and a lipophilic portion, at least one silicone-containing nonionic surfactant comprising a hydrophilic portion and a lipophilic portion, and an aqueous carrier therefor. A CMP method for polishing a low-k dielectric surface utilizing the composition is also disclosed.
