CHEMICAL-MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION OF SUBSTRATES CONTAINING COPPER, RUTHENIUM, AND TANTALUM LAYERS

摘要

A chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising: (a) at least one type of abrasive particles; (b) at least two oxidizing agents; (c) at least one pH adjusting agent; and (d) deionized water; (e) optionally comprising at least one antioxidant, and a method for the chemical-mechanical planarization of a substrate containing at least one copper layer, at least one ruthenium layer, and at least one tantalum layer comprising the steps of (1 ) providing the said chemical-mechanical polishing composition; (2) contacting the substrate surface to be polished with the chemical-mechanical polishing composition and a polishing pad; and (3) chemically and mechanically polishing the substrate surface by way of moving the polishing pad relative to the substrate.
