Abstract:
1. A chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition suitable for polishing a substrate comprising copper and/or silver, the composition comprising: (a) about 0.01 to about 10 percent by weight of a particulate abrasive; (b) about 0.001 to about 1 percent by weight of a primary film-forming metal-complexing agent that comprises an o-hydroxyaryl hydroxamic acid, a salt thereof, or a partially neutralized form thereof; (c) about 0.005 to about 0.5 percent by weight of a secondary film-forming metal-passivating agent comprising a compound of formula (II): Z—X2(Y2R5)(Y3R6), a salt thereof, or a partially neutralized form thereof; wherein Z is NH2 or OH; X2 is P═O or C; Y2 and Y3 are each independently N, NH, or O; and R5 and R6 can each independently can be R7-(OCH2CH2)n-, or when Y2 and Y3 each independently are N or NH, then R5 and R6 each independently can be N, NH, or CH, and together Y2 and Y3 form a five-membered ring heterocycle with X2, Y2 and Y3; each R7 independently is H, C1-C20-alkyl, phenyl, or C1-C20-alkyl-substituted phenyl; and “n” has an average value in the range of about 2 to about 1000; and (d) an aqueous carrier therefor.
