STABILIZED SLURRY COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Provided are slurry compositions suitable for use in a chemical-mechanical planarization process and methods for making same. The compositions include: (a) abrasive particles dispersed in a suspension medium; (b) a peroxygen compound; and (c) a stabilizing agent. The stabilizing agent includes a phosphoric acid, a salt of a phosphoric acid or combinations thereof. The invention has particular applicability to the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
