    Abstract: A planarization method including the provision of a wafer having a wafer surface. A pad is positioned for contact with the wafer surface and the wafer surface is planarized using the pad and a fluid composition that includes a chelating agent. The chelating agent is a water soluble multidentate chelating agent, preferably a water soluble bidentate ionic chelating agent, and more preferably 1,2-ethylenediphosphonic acid (EDP). A fluid composition for use in planarization of a surface of a wafer includes a chemically interactive component that interacts with the surface of the wafer and a chelating agent for reducing the metal ion contamination of the wafer during planarization. The chelating agent may be one of a water soluble multidentate chelating agent, preferably a water soluble bidentate ionic chelating agent, and more preferably 1,2-ethylenediphosphonic acid (EDP). Further, the fluid composition may include an abrasive component.
