  • Patent number: 6786944
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing that is hard to putrefy, scarcely causes scratches, causes only small dishing and is suitable for used in a micro isolating step or a planarizing step of an inter layer dielectric in production of semiconductor devices, which dispersion comprises ceria particles, a preservative composed of a compound having a heterocyclic structure containing a nitrogen atom and a sulfur atom in the ring, such as an isothiazolone compound, and an organic component such as organic abrasive grains composed of resin particles, a dispersing agent composed of a water-soluble polymer having a specific molecular weight or the like, a surfactant and/or an organic acid or a salt thereof contained in an aqueous medium, wherein the ceria particles, preservative and organic component are contained in proportions of 0.1 to 20% by mass, 0.001 to 0.2% by mass and 0.

  • Patent number: 6740629
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for washing a polishing pad which removes a water-insoluble compound which was separated from a surface to be polished during polishing, formed at least on the surface of a polishing pad, and comprised a metal ion ionized, and a method for washing a polishing pad using the same. The composition for washing a polishing pad of the present invention is obtained by, in the case a water-insoluble compound is a copper quinaldinic acid complex, blending ammonia as a component for rendering the water-insoluble compound water-soluble and glycine as a water-soluble complex forming component for forming a water-soluble complex with a copper ion, and stirring them. In addition, in a method for washing a polishing pad using the composition for washing a polishing pad, a polishing pad can be washed effectively, the productivity can be improved and, further, consumption of a polishing pad can be inhibited.

  • Patent number: 6660394
    Abstract: Disclosed are a coating composition comprising a polymer dispersed in an aqueous medium, the polymer containing (a) a hydrolysate of an organosilane and/or a condensation product thereof and (b) a vinyl polymer containing a silyl group having a silicon atom bound to a hydrolytic group and/or a hydroxyl group, and further comprising (c) an oxazoline derivative as a crosslinking agent and a hardened film obtained therefrom. The above coating composition completes the hardening reaction of a coating film at low temperature for a short period of time, high in hardness immediately after hardening, and having water resistance, weather resistance, organic chemical resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, wear resistance and durable adhesion.
