  • Publication number: 20230104112
    Abstract: Disclosed is a chemical mechanical polishing solution, which contains water, cerium oxide, polyquatemium, carboxylic acid containing a benzene ring and polyvinylamine. The function of auto stop in its true sense can only be achieved by using polyquatemium, carboxylic acid containing a benzene ring and polyvinylamine together. On the blanks, the polishing rates are low, while at the high step heights of patterned silicon chips, high polishing rates are kept. The lower is the step height, the better is the polishing rate inhibited, and thus the function of auto stop is achieved.
