Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes: forming a dielectric layer over a conductive layer; removing a portion of the dielectric layer to form an opening exposing a portion of the conductive layer; filling a ruthenium-containing material in the opening and in contact with the dielectric layer; and polishing the ruthenium-containing material using a slurry including an abrasive and an oxidizer selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), potassium periodate (KIO4), potassium iodate (KIO3), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), iron(III) nitrate (FeNO3) and a combination thereof.
