摘要:
Disclosed is a slurry and method for chemical-mechanical polishing operation. The slurry may contain abrasive particles, an oxidizer, a pH controller, a chelating agent and water. The viscosity of the slurry may be in the range of about 1.0 cP—about 1.05 cP, so that the step difference may be reduced between regions with patterns and without patterns even after completing the chemical-mechanical polishing operation. A permissible rate of depth of focus (DOF) may not need to be controlled in the subsequent photolithography operation, which may enable the subsequent photolithography operation to be conducted by an optical system with relatively low DOF.

Slurry compositions for selectively polishing silicon nitride relative to silicon oxide, methods of polishing a silicon nitride layer and methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the same are provided. The slurry compositions include a first agent for reducing an oxide polishing rate, an abrasive particle and water, and the first agent includes poly(acrylic acid). The slurry composition may have a high polishing selectivity of silicon nitride relative to silicon oxide to be employed in selectively polishing a silicon nitride layer in a semiconductor manufacturing process.

摘要:
In methods of forming a thin ferroelectric layer and methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a preliminary ferroelectric layer is formed on a substrate by depositing a metal oxide including lead, zirconium and titanium. The surface of the preliminary ferroelectric layer is polished using a slurry composition including an acrylic acid polymer, abrasive particles, and water to form a thin ferroelectric layer on the substrate. The slurry composition may reduce a polishing rate of the preliminary ferroelectric layer such that removal of a bulk portion of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be suppressed and the surface roughness of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be improved.

Methods of forming gates of semiconductor devices are provided. The methods may include forming a first recess in a first substrate region having a first conductivity type and forming a second recess in a second substrate region having a second conductivity type. The methods may also include forming a high-k layer in the first and second recesses. The methods may further include providing a first metal on the high-k layer in the first and second substrate regions, the first metal being provided within the second recess. The methods may additionally include removing at least portions of the first metal from the second recess while protecting materials within the first recess from removal. The methods may also include, after removing at least portions of the first metal from the second recess, providing a second metal within the second recess.
