Abstract

Disclosed are a slurry composition for chemical mechanical polishing and a precursor composition thereof. The polishing slurry composition includes deionized water, abrasive particles, a pH-adjusting agent and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant includes two or more ionic moieties and two or more lipophilic groups. The polishing slurry composition can polish convex surfaces of a semiconductor having a step height at a higher rate than the polishing rate for concave surfaces acting as polishing stop layers of the semiconductor so that the polishing can be self-stopped, reduces the occurrence of surface defects after the polishing process, and has a high degree of polishing planarization and good dispersion stability.
