Abstract:
The invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising (a) a first abrasive comprising cationically modified colloidal silica particles, (b) a second abrasive having a Mohs hardness of about 5.5 or more, (c) a cationic polymer, (d) an iron containing activator, (e) an oxidizing agent, and (f) water. The invention also relates to a method of chemically mechanically polishing a substrate, especially a substrate comprising tungsten and barrier layers (e.g., nitrides), with the polishing composition.
Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing composition comprising (a) an abrasive selected from the group consisting of alumina, ceria, titania, zirconia, and combinations thereof, wherein the abrasive is surface coated with a copolymer comprising a combination of sulfonic acid monomeric units and carboxylic acid monomeric units a combination of sulfonic acid monomeric units and phosphonic acid monomeric units, (b) an oxidizing agent, and (c) water, wherein the polishing composition has a pH of about 2 to about 5. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate with the inventive chemical mechanical polishing composition. Typically, the substrate comprises tungsten or cobalt and silicon oxide.
