Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry composition that provides for a high metal to dielectric material selectivity along with a low rate of metal recess formation. In some embodiments, the disclosed slurry composition has an oxidant and an etching inhibitor. The oxidant has a compound with one or more oxygen molecules. The etching inhibitor has a nitrogen-oxide compound. The etching inhibitor reduces the rate of metal and dielectric material (e.g., oxide) removal, but does so in a manner that reduces the rate of dielectric material removal by a larger amount, so as to provide the slurry composition with a high metal (e.g., germanium) to dielectric material removal selectivity and with a low rate of metal recess formation.
