Abstract

The polishing composition for semiconductor processing includes abrasive particles and a first metal ion, which is an alkali metal ion, wherein the abrasive particles have surface positive charges, and wherein an amount of the first metal ion is 15 ppm (by weight) to 100 ppm (by weight).

Claims (26)

1 . A polishing composition for semiconductor processing comprising abrasive particles and a first metal ion, which is an alkali metal ion,

wherein the abrasive particles have surface positive charges, and

wherein an amount of the first metal ion is 15 ppm (by weight) to 100 ppm (by weight).

2 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal ion is monovalent ion selected from the group consisting of lithium ions, sodium ions, potassium ions, rubidium ions, cesium ions, and francium ions.

3 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , further comprising a second metal ion selected from the group consisting of iron ions, copper ions, nickel ions, aluminum ions, calcium ions, and zinc ions.

4 . The polishing composition of claim 3 , wherein a ratio of an amount (by weight) of the second metal ion to the amount (by weight) of the first metal ion is 15 or more.

5 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles have a zeta potential of +10 mV to +50 mV at a pH of 2 to 5.5.

6 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles are surface-modified with a compound having an amine group.

7 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles are surface-modified with a compound having an amino silane selected from the group consisting of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, bis[(3-triethoxysilyl)propyl]amine, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, bis[(3-trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine, 3-Aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, 3-Aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine, N-bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1,2-ethylenediamine, N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine, diethylenetriaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, diethylenetriaminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, diethylaminomethyltriethoxysilane, diethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and N-[3-diethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane, dimethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, (trimethoxysilyl)propyl]butylamine.

8 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the polishing composition comprises the abrasive particles in an amount of 1 wt % to 10 wt % based on a total weight of the polishing composition.

9 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles have an average particle diameter of 20 nm or more.

10 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , wherein the polishing composition have an electrical conductivity of 10 μS/cm to 300 μS/cm.

11 . The polishing composition of claim 1 , further comprising a fluorinated surfactant.
