Abstract
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising (a) silica particles, (b) a polymer comprising sulfonic acid monomeric units, (c) optionally, a buffering agent, and (d) water, wherein the polishing composition has a pH of about 2 to about 5. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate with the inventive chemical-mechanical polishing composition. Typically, the substrate comprises silicon carbide and silicon nitride.
