preparation example Construction

[0130] The compositions of the present invention can be prepared without any particularity, but by dissolving or dispersing the abovementioned ingredients (A), (B) and (C) and optionally (D) and / or (E) in an aqueous medium, in particular performed in deionized water. For this purpose, customary and standard mixing methods and mixing equipment can be used, such as stirred tanks, in-line dissolvers, high-shear high-speed mixers, ultrasonic mixers, homogenizer nozzles or convective mixers. The composition of the invention thus obtained is preferably filterable through a filter having suitable mesh openings to remove coarse-grained particles such as agglomerates or aggregates of finely divided solid abrasive particles (A).

[0131] The compositions of the invention are well suited for the methods of the invention.

[0132] In the method of the invention, the substrate material of electronic, mechanical and optical devices, especially electronic devices, most preferably integrated...

Abstract

An aqueous polishing composition has been found, the said aqueous polishing composition comprising (A) at least one type of abrasive particles which are positively charged when dispersed in an aqueous medium free from component (B) and having a pH in the range of from 3 to 9 as evidenced by the electrophoretic mobility; (B) at least one water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of linear and branched alkylene oxide homopolymers and copolymers; and (C) at least one anionic phosphate dispersing agent; and a process for polishing substrate materials for electrical, mechanical and optical devices making use of the aqueous polishing composition.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel aqueous polishing composition particularly suitable for polishing semiconductor substrates comprising silicon oxide dielectrics and polysilicon films, optionally comprising silicon nitride films. [0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a novel method of polishing substrates for the manufacture of electronic, mechanical and optical devices, said substrate materials comprising silicon oxide and polysilicon films, and optionally silicon nitride films. Citation [0003] Documents cited in this application are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background of the invention [0004] Chemical-mechanical planarization or polishing (CMP) is the primary method for achieving local and global flatness of integrated circuit (IC) devices. This technique typically employs a CMP composition or slurry containing abrasives and other additives as the active chemistry between the rotating substrate surface and the polishing ...
