Abstract
A method for chemical mechanical polishing of a semiconductor wafer containing a nonferrous metal is provided, comprising: providing a chemical mechanical polishing composition comprising 1 to 25 wt % of an oxidizer; 0.01 to 15 wt % of an inhibitor for the nonferrous metal; 0.005 to 5 wt % of a copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether(meth)acrylate and 1-vinylimidazole; and water; wherein the chemical mechanical polishing composition has an acidic pH; providing a chemical mechanical polishing pad; providing a semiconductor wafer containing the nonferrous metal; creating dynamic contact between the chemical mechanical polishing pad and the semiconductor wafer; and, dispensing the polishing solution at or near the interface between the chemical mechanical polishing pad and the semiconductor wafer.
