Abstract
This invention provides metallic thin film chemical mechanical polishing slurry compositions having improved suspension stability. The slurry contains 2.5-10% by weight of alumina powder and 2-20% by volume of phosphoric acid (80% concentration ) solution, and using potassium hydroxide to adjust its pH to 1-6 so as to increase suspension ability of the alumina powder in the aqueous slurry. The polishing slurry compositions can further combine with suitable oxidizers such as hydrogen peroxide, ferric nitrate and so on to be appropriately used for chemical mechanical polishing metallic thin film in the process of manufacturing semiconductor in order to control abrasion rate and unevenness more easily.
