Abstract

The use of organic nitro compounds, such as nitrobenzene sulfonic acids, in chemical mechanical polishing compositions is disclosed. Chemical mechanical polishing slurries are widely used in polishing and planarizing silicon wafers and other fine surfaces. Inorganic nitro compounds are widely used in these slurries as oxidant sources. However, organic nitro compounds, particularly aromatic nitro compounds, are here suggested as advantageous substitutes.
