Abstract

See full text

A method of chemical-mechanical fabrication (CMF) for forming articles having tilted surface features. A substrate is provided having a patterned surface including two different layer compositions or a non-planar surface having at least one protruding or recessed feature, or both. The patterned surface are contacted with a polishing pad having a slurry composition, wherein a portion of surface being polished polishes at a faster polishing rate as compared to another portion to form at least one tilted surface feature. The tilted surface feature has at least one surface portion having a surface tilt angle from 3 to 85 degrees and a surface roughness<3 nm rms. The tilted surface feature includes a post-CMF high elevation portion and a post-CMF low elevation portion that defines a maximum height (h), wherein the tilted surface feature defines a minimum lateral dimension (r), and h/r is ≧0.05.
