Latest Patents
Lau's latest patents include innovative CMP compositions and methods for polishing nickel phosphorous surfaces. One patent describes a CMP method that involves abrading a nickel phosphorus (NiP) substrate with a composition containing colloidal silica abrasive suspended in an aqueous carrier with a pH of less than 2. This composition includes hydrogen peroxide as a primary oxidizing agent, along with a secondary oxidizing agent that comprises a metal ion capable of reversible oxidation and reduction in the presence of NiP and hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, a chelating agent with two or three carboxylic acid substituents is included to enhance the effectiveness of the polishing process.
Another notable patent focuses on a composition and method for polishing memory hard disks while reducing edge roll-off. This invention provides a CMP composition that contains various abrasives, an oxidation catalyst, a non-transition metal sulfate salt, a complexing agent, hydrogen peroxide, and surfactants. The polishing composition is designed to operate at a pH of about 1 to about 5 and is substantially free of peroxydisulfate
