CHEMICAL-MECHANICAL POLISHING COMPOSITION CONTAINING ZIRCONIA AND METAL OXIDIZER

摘要

The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition and a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate with the chemical-mechanical polishing composition. The polishing composition comprises (a) abrasive particles, wherein the abrasive particles comprise zirconia, (b) at least one metal ion oxidizer, wherein the at least one metal ion oxidizer comprises metal ions of Co3+, Au+, Ag+, Pt2+, Hg2+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ce4+, or Cu2+, and (c) an aqueous carrier, wherein the pH of the chemical-mechanical polishing composition is in the range of about 1 to about 7, and wherein the chemical-mechanical polishing composition does not contain a peroxy-type oxidizer.
