Abstract:
Provided are slurry compositions for polishing a germanium-containing layer and methods of fabricating a semiconductor device using the same. The slurry composition may include a polishing particle, an oxidizing agent, a polishing accelerator, and a selectivity control agent. The oxidizing agent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of superoxide, dioxygenyl, ozone, ozonide, chlorite, chlorate, perchlorate, halogen compounds, nitric acid, nitrate, hypochlorite, hypohalite, and peroxide.
