Abstract
Slurries for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) are provided including a high planarity slurry and high selectivity ratio slurry. A high planarity slurry includes at least one kind of metal oxide abrasive particle and an anionic polymer passivation agent having a first concentration. A high selectivity ratio slurry includes at least one kind of the metal oxide abrasive particle, the passivation agent in a second concentration that is less than the first concentration of the passivation agent for the high planarity slurry, one of a quaternary amine and the salt thereof, and a pH control agent. The high selectivity ratio slurry has a pH in a range of about over an isoelectric point of a polishing target layer and less than an isoelectric point of a polishing stopper. In addition, a CMP method using the CMP slurries having high planarity and high selectivity ratio is provided.
