Abstract
A slurry composition useful for chemical mechanical polishing of the surface of a material layer, e.g., a silicon oxide layer, is disclosed. A first material surface which is exposed to the slurry exhibits hydrophilicity, while a second material layer, e.g., a polysilicon layer, the surface of which is also exposed to the slurry, exhibits hydrophobicity, and accordingly acts as a polishing stopping layer. The slurry composition consists essentially of water, abrasive grains, and a polymer additive having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups.
