Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods of polishing a substrate having a metal layer. SOLUTION: The invention provides methods of polishing a substrate including steps of (i) contacting a substrate having at least one metal layer having copper with a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) system and (ii) abrading at least a portion of the metal layer having copper to polish the substrate. The CMP system has (a) an abrasive, (b) an amphiphilic nonionic surfactant, (c) a means for oxidizing the metal layer, (d) an organic acid, (e) a corrosion inhibitor, and (f) a liquid carrier. The invention further provides a two-step method of polishing a substrate having a first metal layer and a second, different metal layer. The first metal layer is polished with a first CMP system having an abrasive and a liquid carrier, and the second metal layer is polished with a second CMP system having (a) an abrasive, (b) an amphiphilic nonionic surfactant, and (c) a liquid carrier.
