This disclosure features a polishing composition that includes at least one abrasive; at least one first corrosion inhibitor that includes a phosphate or a phosphonate group; at least one complexing agent; at least one second corrosion inhibitor that is at least one azole compound; and optionally a pH adjuster.

Polishing compositions and methods of use thereof

Chemical mechanical polishing compositions include an abrasive, an additive, and water. The polishing compositions have a value of less than 800,000 for the relation: large particle counts/weight percent abrasive, when measured using a 0.2 μm bin size.

Polishing compositions for reduced defectivity and methods of using the same

Chemical mechanical polishing compositions include an abrasive, an additive, and water. The polishing compositions have a value of less than 800,000 for the relation: large particle counts/weight percent abrasive, when measured using a 0.2 &#x3bc;m bin size.

Chemical mechanical polishing compositions include an abrasive, a first removal rate enhancer; and water; wherein the polishing compositions have a value of less than 800,000 for the relation: large particle counts/weight percent abrasive, when measured using a 0.2 &#x3bc;m bin size.

The present disclosure provides chemical mechanical polishing compositions that achieve minimal dishing at reduced dishing reducer (DR) levels when compared to known CMP compositions. The compositions of the disclosure include a dynamic surface tension reducer (DSTR) which allows for lower levels of dishing reducer in the compositions. Indeed, the compositions of the disclosure allow for lower levels of dishing reducer to achieve the same dishing as known compositions having higher levels of dishing reducer. Deleterious effects of high DR levels are thereby avoided or minimized when employing the compositions of the disclosure.

Polishing compositions

The present disclosure provides a method for reducing large particle counts (LPCs) in copper chemical mechanical polishing slurry by way of using high purity removal rate enhancer (RRE) in the slurry. The conductivity of the RRE in deionized water solutions correlates very strongly with the number of LPCs in the RRE, and thus in a slurry using the RRE.
