  • Publication number: 20240247168
    Abstract: A system for polishing a hardmask comprises a composition comprising a permanganate ion of a permanganate oxidizer; a substrate comprising a hardmask that comprises at least one of a non-carbon boron component, a boron-carbon component, a non-carbon silicon component, a non-carbon chromium component, a non-carbon zirconium component, or any combination thereof; and a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) apparatus configured to bring the composition and the substrate into contact so as to remove at least a portion of the hardmask of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11840645
    Abstract: A slurry for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) includes an aqueous liquid carrier, an oxygen and anion containing transition metal compound or polyatomic cations including a transition metal and oxygen or hydrogen, and a per-based oxidizer. The anion for the oxygen and anion containing transition metal compound can include oxynitrate, oxychloride, oxyhydroxide, oxyacetate, oxysulfide, or oxysulfate. The per-based oxidizer can be a permanganate compound.
