[0087] Test Example

[0088] Polishing process:

[0089] The polishing machine is Kizi KD24QX, equipped with a self-produced NWD-80 polishing pad (purchased from Shanghai Yingzhi Abrasive Materials Co., Ltd., model PU-80). The lithium tantalate is a 4-inch wafer, the polishing pressure is 300 g / cm 2 , the polishing speed is 20 / 35 rpm for the head / platen, the temperature of the polishing platen surface is 25 ± 5 °C, the flow rate is 100 g / min, and the polishing time is 30 min.

[0090] Test method:

[0091] 1. Calculate the removal rate by weight conversion before and after polishing.

[0092] 2. Observe whether there are obvious scratches on the polished surface after ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water under a strong light.

[0093] 3. Atomic force microscope roughness test: The machine model is DIMENSION EDGE System, the test size is 5 um * 5 um at the center point, and whether the surface roughness is < 0.2 nm.

[0094] 4. Observe the residual amount of abrasive particles on the surface of the 4-inch wafer under a microscope.

[0095] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0096] Table 1

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] From the results in Table 1, it can be obtained that: From Comparative Examples 1-3 and Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the addition of the water-soluble polymer in the present invention can, although it causes a decrease in the polishing rate, improve the problem of surface scratches after polishing, making the surface roughness Ra after polishing lower than 0.2 nm; From Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, it can be seen that the addition of the water-soluble polymer in the present invention can, although it causes a decrease in the polishing rate, improve the problem of surface scratches after polishing, making the surface roughness Ra after polishing lower than 0.2 nm; From Examples 1-4, it can be seen that in an acidic system, when organic acids and amino polyols are used simultaneously as complexing agents in the polishing liquid of the present invention, especially when malonic acid is combined with amino-undecaethylene glycol acetic acid, it has a higher removal rate compared with a single organic acid or amino polyol; From Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that silica sol with a particle size of 110 nm and a lower pH can further improve the polishing rate; From Examples 4-6 and Examples 7-10, it can be seen that the silica sol modified by acid can improve the polishing rate on the basis of ordinary silica sol, and still maintain an excellent surface after polishing. Moreover, when the polishing liquid prepared with ordinary silica sol is under acidic conditions, the particle size increases, which will cause the polishing liquid to agglomerate and deteriorate, while the acid-modified polishing liquid can still maintain the original particle size after aging at 50 degrees; From Examples 8, 10, 11-12, it can be seen that adding polyquaternary ammonium salts, such as polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride, in the present invention can further optimize the performance of the polishing liquid.
