  • Patent number: 9505951
    Abstract: [Problem] Provided is a polishing composition that can sufficiently maintain a high polishing rate for a barrier layer and an insulating film and suppress the occurrence of a surface defect such as erosion or fang. [Solution] Provided is a polishing composition which is used in the application to polish a polishing object having a barrier layer, a metal wiring layer and an insulating film, the polishing composition including abrasive grains, an oxidant, a metal corrosion inhibitor, a pH adjusting agent and water, in which an aspect ratio of abrasive grains is 1.22 or less and a ratio D90/D10 of a diameter D90 of particles when a cumulative particle weight from the fine particle side reaches 90% of the total particle weight to a diameter D10 of particles when the cumulative particle weight from the fine particle side reaches 10% of the total particle weight of the entire particles is 1.5 or more in a particle size distribution of the abrasive grains determined by a laser diffraction scattering method.

  • Publication number: 20150232705
    Abstract: To provide a polishing composition, in which a high polishing rate for a barrier layer and an insulation film can sufficiently be maintained, a polishing rate of a low dielectric material can sufficiently be suppressed, and aggregation of abrasive grains can be prevented. The invention is a polishing composition to be used for an application of polishing a polishing object having a barrier layer, a metal wiring layer, and an insulation film, comprising an oxidizing agent, and a nonionic compound having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 or less.

  • Publication number: 20140263167
    Abstract: Provided is a polishing composition to be used for polishing an object including a conductor layer and an electrically conductive material layer that is in contact with the conductor layer. In a state in which the positive electrode and the negative electrode of an electrometer are connected to the electrically conductive material layer and the conductor layer, respectively, in the polishing composition at ordinary temperature, the current flowing from the positive electrode to the negative electrode has a positive value or is zero when the electrically conductive material layer and the conductor layer are polished. The polishing composition preferably contains a nitrogen atom-containing compound, a sulfur atom-containing compound, or a phosphorus atom-containing compound as an additive to control the value of the current to positive or zero.

  • Patent number: 8703007
    Abstract: A polishing composition of the present invention contains an oxidant, an anticorrosive, and a surfactant comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1: One to three of R1 to R5 in Chemical Formula 1 are alkyl groups, alkynyl groups, alkenyl groups, aryl groups, or arylalkylene groups, one is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, and the remainder are hydrogen atoms. O—R6 is oxyethylene, oxypropylene, or a random or block conjugate of oxyethylene and oxypropylene. n is an integer of 1 or more. X is an OSO3? group, an OPO32? group, or an OH group.
