<p>A colloidal silica slurry comprising: a low metals ammonium-stabilized silica sol having the following characteristics: SiO2 present in the range between about 15 to about 50 weight percent; a pH in the range between about 8.5 to about 11.3; a particle diameter in the range between about 4.0 to about 130 nm; aluminum, as Al, present in an amount less than about 100 ppm, based on SiO2; iron, as Fe, present in an amount less than about 50 ppm, based on SiO2; potassium, as K, present in an amount less than about 25 ppm, based on SiO2; and sodium, as Na, present in an amount less than about 500 ppm, based on SiO2; and a bactericide, a polishing rate accelerator which differs from the bactericide, and/or a sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite biocide. Optionally, a fungicide may also be added to the colloidal silica slurry to inhibit fungi growth.</p> |
