Abstract
The polishing solution is useful for removing barrier materials in the presence of at least one nonferrous interconnect metal with limited erosion of dielectrics. The solution contains 0 to 20 weight percent oxidizer, at least 0.001 weight percent inhibitor for reducing removal rate of the nonferrous interconnect metals, 1 ppm to 4 weight percent organic-containing ammonium cationic salt formed with a quanternary ammonium structure, 1 ppm to 4 weight percent anionic surfactant, the anionic surfactant having 4 to 25 carbon atoms and the total carbon atoms in of the ammonium cationic salt plus the anionic surfactant being 6 to 40 carbon atoms, 0 to 50 weight percent abrasive and balance water; and the solution having a pH of less than 7.
