Abstract

The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising: (a) a silica abrasive, (b) a surfactant, (c) an iron cation, (d) optionally a ligand, and (e) water, wherein the silica abrasive has a negative zeta potential in the chemical-mechanical polishing composition. The invention also provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate, especially a substrate comprising a carbon-based film, using said composition.
