  • Patent number: 11505718
    Abstract: A slurry for polishing surfaces or substrates that at least partially comprise ruthenium and copper, wherein the slurry includes an alkali hydroxide, oxygenated halogen compound, and a halogen alkyl benzotriazole. The slurry may further include abrasive, acid(s), and, optionally, an alkoxylated alcohol. With these components, the slurry exhibits a high ruthenium to copper removal rate ratio.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2022
    Assignee: FUJIFILM ELECTRONIC MATERIALS U.S.A., INC.
    Inventors: David (Tawei) Lin, Bin Hu, Liqing (Richard) Wen, Yannan Liang, Ting-Kai Huang
  • Publication number: 20220162478
    Abstract: The compositions of the present disclosure polish surfaces or substrates that at least partially include ruthenium. The composition includes a synergistic combination of ammonia and oxygenated halogen compound. The composition may further include abrasive and acid(s). A polishing composition for use on ruthenium materials may include ammonia, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; hydrogen periodate, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; silica, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 12 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; and organic sulfonic add, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the pH of the composition is between 6 and 8.
