SLURRY COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING OF COPPER INTEGRATED WITH TUNGSTEN BASED BARRIER METALS

摘要

The present invention is related to a slurry composition for polishing copper integrated with tungsten containing barrier layers and its use in a CMP method. The present invention is also related to a method for polishing copper integrated with tungsten containing barrier layers by means of an aqueous solution containing abrasive particles, an inorganic acid such as HNO3 as etchant for copper that prevents galvanic corrosion of the tungsten containing metal barrier and at least one organic compound to provide sufficient copper corrosion inhibition.
