COMPOSITION FOR CONDUCTING MATERIAL REMOVAL OPERATIONS AND METHOD FOR FORMING SAME

A composition can comprise a carrier including a liquid and an abrasive particulate contained in the carrier, the abrasive particulate having, on average, at least 10 wt % cerium oxide in the abrasive particulate and a cerium 3+ ratio (Ce 3+/total cerium) of at least 0.1. In another embodiment, a sl...

Zusammenfassung:A composition can comprise a carrier including a liquid and an abrasive particulate contained in the carrier, the abrasive particulate having, on average, at least 10 wt % cerium oxide in the abrasive particulate and a cerium 3+ ratio (Ce 3+/total cerium) of at least 0.1. In another embodiment, a slurry composition can comprise a liquid carrier comprising water, cerium oxide particles, and free silicate ions, wherein a material removal rate when polishing a silicon oxide wafer can be is increased by at least 3% in comparison to a slurry composition not including free silicate ions.
