Adjuvant for controlling polishing selectivity and chemical mechanical polishing slurry

Abstract

Disclosed is an adjuvant for controlling polishing selectivity when polishing a cationically charged material simultaneously with an anionically charged material. CMP slurry comprising the adjuvant is also disclosed. The adjuvant comprises: (a) a polyelectrolyte that forms an adsorption layer on the cationically charged material in order to increase the polishing selectivity of the anionically charged material; (b) a basic material; and (c) a fluorine-based compound. when the adjuvant for controlling polishing selectivity of CMP slurry according to the present invention is applied to a CMP process, it is possible to increase the polishing selectivity of a silicon oxide layer, to obtain a uniform particle size of CMP slurry, to stabilize variations in viscosity under an external force and to minimize generation of microscratches during a polishing process. Therefore, the adjuvant for CMP slurry according to the present invention can improve reliability and productivity during the fabrication of very large scale integrated semiconductors.
