IMPROVED CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING SLURRIES FOR METAL
摘要
A slurry for use in chemical-mechanical polishing of a metal layer comprising particles dispersed in an aqueous medium. The slurry particles will tend to agglomerate when the slurry is at rest and will de-agglomerate with simple stirring. Such metastable slurry systems have been found to be particularly advantageous for metal polishing, particularly the polishing of metal layers during the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
