Abstract:
A method for polishing computer rigid disks comprising bringing at least one surface of the rigid disk into contact with a polishing pad and applying a composition to the rigid disk comprising at least one hydroxylamine additive and colloidal silica to give a polished rigid disk.
Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing system for a substrate comprising a liquid carrier, a polishing pad and/or an abrasive, a per-type oxidizer, and a phosphono group-containing additive, as well as a method of using the same to polish substrates, particularly nickel-containing substrates.
Abstract:
A composition and a method for planarizing or polishing a surface with the composition are provided. The composition comprises a liquid carrier, a chemical accelerator, and solids comprising about 5-90 wt. % of fumed metal oxide, and about 10-95 wt. % of abrasive particles, wherein about 90% or more of the abrasive particles (by number) have a particle size no greater than 100 nm. The composition of the present invention is useful in planarizing or polishing a surface with high polishing efficiency, uniformity, and removal rate, with minimal defectivity, such as field loss of underlying structures and topography.
