Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process employing chemically active slurry having polarity selected to have an effect on the relative oxidation rate of respective crystal faces of a polished polycrystalline surface. SOLUTION: The polarity of slurry is controlled to keep the equilibrium of a material removing rate from respective crystal faces during a CMP process. A polar solute may be added to a base solvent in order to obtain a desired polarity. The CMP process of a tungsten thin film normally utilizes aqueous slurry containing an abrasive, an oxidizing agent, and a solute having polarity lower than that of water. Colloidal silica, hydrogen peroxide and benzene may be employed, respectively, as the abrasive, oxidizing agent and solute. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
