Abstract

The invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising silica, one or more tetraalkylammonium salts, one or more bicarbonate salts, one or more alkali metal hydroxides, one or more aminophosphonic acids, one or more rate accelerator compounds, one or more polysaccharides, and water. The polishing composition reduces surface roughness and PSD of polished substrates. The invention further relates to a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate, especially a silicon substrate, using the polishing composition described herein.
