  • Publication number: 20040240062
    Abstract: Aluminium oxide doped with a divalent metal oxide, produced by flame hydrolysis and which has no spinell structures or alpha-aluminium detectable in an x-ray diffractogram. It is produced by a pyrogenic process in which, during the flame hydrolysis of aluminium halogenides, an aerosol, which contains an aqueous solution of a divalent metal salt is added to the gas mixture. The doped aluminium oxides can be used in aqueous dispersions for chemical-mechanical polishing.

  • Publication number: 20030230652
    Abstract: A finely divided, stable dispersion of a solid is produced by: spraying at least two streams of a preliminary dispersion, each through a separate nozzle by pumps, onto a collision point in a reactor chamber enclosed by a reactor housing; passing water vapor through an opening into the reactor chamber so that a vaporous atmosphere consisting mainly of water vapor prevails in the reactor chamber; and removing the finely divided dispersion and a) vapor, b) partially condensed vapor consisting mainly of water or c) a combination of a) and b) from the reactor chamber by excess pressure of an incoming water vapor on the gas inlet side; wherein the solid has an average particle size of from 10 nm to 10 &mgr;m.

  • Publication number: 20020168312
    Abstract: A method for producing potassium-doped pyrogenic oxides involves mixing a gaseous mixture including a pyrogenic oxide precursor and an aqueous aerosol containing a potassium salt to form an aerosol-gaseous mixture which is then reacted in a flame under conditions suitable for producing pyrogenic oxides by flame oxidation or flame hydrolysis to form the potassium-doped pyrogenic oxides product. The particle product is spherical, has a BET surface between 1 and 1000 m2/g and a narrow distribution of particle size of at least 0.7. The doped oxides can be used as polishing material (CMP application).
