Engineered silica-based abrasive particles with narrow size distribution for uniform planarization and minimal defect generation.
pH-stabilized formulation (typically 9.5–10.5) ensures consistent oxide removal rate and compatibility with standard pad materials.
Low metallic impurity content (<10 ppb Na, K, Fe, Cu) to prevent device contamination in advanced semiconductor fabrication.
Non-settling colloidal dispersion with long-term shelf stability (>12 months unopened at 25°C).
Optimized rheology for stable delivery via OEM slurry dispensing systems without clogging or pulsation.
Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) polishing for 28 nm to 3 nm logic node IC manufacturing.
Interlayer dielectric (ILD) planarization of SiO₂ films in DRAM and NAND flash memory wafers.
Copper barrier layer (Ta/TaN) and overburden copper removal in dual-damascene interconnect processes.
Polishing of low-k dielectrics (e.g., SiCOH) with minimized erosion and dishing control.
Compound semiconductor substrate finishing (e.g., GaN-on-Si, SiC) for power device fabrication.

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this CMP slurry?
A: This is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual components have CAS numbers (e.g., colloidal silica: 7631-86-9), but the final slurry product is not assigned a single CAS number per IUPAC and EPA guidelines.
Q2: What is the typical consumption rate per 300 mm wafer?
A: Average usage ranges from 180–250 mL/wafer under standard process conditions (300 rpm platen speed, 3 psi downforce, 150 mL/min flow rate); actual volume depends on recipe, pad type, and wafer topology.
Q3: How does this slurry compare to ceria- or alumina-based alternatives?
A: Silica-based slurries offer superior selectivity for SiO₂ over silicon nitride and lower surface roughness (Ra <0.12 nm), whereas ceria excels in high-rate STI polishing but poses higher defect risk, and alumina is rarely used due to aggressive scratching and poor dispersion stability.
Q4: Are extractables or leachables data available for high-sensitivity applications?
A: Yes — certified extractables testing per USP <661.2> and ICH Q5C shows <0.5 µg/cm² total organic extractables and undetectable metal leachables (<0.1 ppb) after 72h immersion in deionized water at 60°C.
