Abstract

The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising coated α-alumina particles, an organic carboxylic acid, and water. The invention also provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising an abrasive having a negative zeta potential in the polishing composition, an organic carboxylic acid, at least one alkyldiphenyloxide disulfonate surfactant, and water, wherein the polishing composition does not further comprise a heterocyclic compound. The abrasive is colloidally stable in the polishing composition. The invention further provides methods of polishing a substrate with the aforesaid polishing compositions.
