A method for chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate comprising a germanium-antimony-tellurium chalcogenide phase change alloy (GST) using a chemical mechanical polishing composition comprising, as initial components: water; an abrasive; at least one of a phthalic acid, a phthalic anhydride, a phthalate compound and a phthalic acid derivative; a chelating agent; a poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid); and an oxidizing agent; wherein the chemical mechanical polishing composition facilitates a high GST removal rate with low defectivity.

Chemical mechanical polishing composition and method for polishing phase change alloys

A method for chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate comprising a germanium-antimony-tellurium chalcogenide phase change alloy (GST) using a chemical mechanical polishing composition consisting essentially of, as initial components: water; an abrasive; a material selected from ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and salts thereof; and an oxidizing agent; wherein the chemical mechanical polishing composition facilitates a high GST removal rate with low defectivity.
