  • Patent number: 9343326
    Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry composition for polishing an organic layer and a method of forming a semiconductor device using the same are disclosed. The CMP slurry composition may include from 0.001% to 5% by weight of oxide-polishing particles; from 0.1% to 5% by weight of an oxidant; from 0% to 5% by weight of a polishing regulator; from 0% to 3% by weight of a surfactant; from 0% to 3% by weight of a pH regulator; and from 79% to 99.889% by weight of deionized water. The use of the CMP slurry composition makes it possible to allow a silicon-free organic layer to be polished with a selectivity higher than 6:1 with respect to an oxide layer.

  • Publication number: 20130112914
    Abstract: A slurry composition includes an abrasive agent, an oxidizing agent, and a first adsorption inhibitor including a polyethylene oxide copolymer. A method of manufacturing a phase change memory device may include providing a substrate including an interlayer insulating film having a trench and a phase change material layer on the interlayer insulating film filling the trench, and performing chemical mechanical polishing on the phase change material layer using the slurry composition to form a phase change material pattern layer.

  • Publication number: 20100003897
    Abstract: In a slurry composition for chemical mechanical polishing, a method of preparing the slurry composition and a method of polishing an object using the slurry composition, the slurry composition includes a cerium oxide abrasive particle having a rare earth element other than cerium as a dopant, and an aqueous medium for dispersing the cerium oxide abrasive particle. The cerium oxide abrasive particle doped with the rare earth element may have an enhanced fracture strength as being compared with a pure cerium oxide abrasive particle, and also may reduce an amount of large or agglomerated particles and generation of a scratch on a polished surface of an object.
