    Abstract: The invention provides compositions useful in the polishing of transition metal-containing surfaces typically found on microelectronic devices. In one aspect, the invention provides a composition comprising: a liquid carrier; titania abrasive particles, wherein the particles are at least partially coated with alumina or amorphous silica to provide coated titania abrasive particles; wherein the coated titania abrasive particles have an average diameter of about 50 nm to about 250 nm; and a corrosion inhibitor. The invention, the compositions are advantageously utilized to polish microelectronic device substrates having transition metal-containing surfaces thereon. In certain embodiments, the surfaces are chosen from molybdenum and ruthenium-containing films and show markedly improved selectivity relative to thermal oxide.
