Features Of CMP Polishing Slurry

  1. Engineered silica-based abrasive particles with narrow size distribution for consistent removal rate and low defectivity.

  2. Stable pH-controlled formulation (pH 9.5–10.5) ensuring compatibility with copper, barrier metals, and low-k dielectrics.

  3. Non-ionic surfactant system minimizing surface tension and enhancing particle dispersion stability over shelf life.

  4. Low metallic impurity profile (<1 ppb Na, K, Fe, Ni, Cu) to prevent device contamination and leakage current issues.

  5. Ready-to-use liquid slurry requiring no dilution or pre-conditioning—reduces process variability and operator handling.

Typical Applications Of CMP Polishing Slurry

  1. Copper interconnect planarization in advanced logic and memory IC manufacturing (≤7 nm node).

  2. Tungsten plug polishing for STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) applications in front-end-of-line (FEOL) processing.

  3. Barrier layer (Ta/TaN) removal during dual-damascene integration.

  4. Polishing of cobalt and ruthenium metallization layers in next-generation interconnect schemes.

  5. Planarization of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power device substrates.

CMP Polishing Slurry – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this CMP Polishing Slurry?

A: This is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual ingredients are listed under their respective CAS numbers (e.g., amorphous silica: 7631-86-9). Full ingredient disclosure is provided in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) upon NDA execution.


Q2: What is the typical consumption rate per 300 mm wafer?

A: Average usage ranges from 180–220 mL/wafer at standard process conditions (100–120 mL/min flow rate, 1.5–2.0 psi downforce, 70–90 rpm platen speed), depending on film stack and target removal rate.


Q3: How does this slurry compare to alumina- or ceria-based alternatives?

A: Silica-based slurries offer superior selectivity control, lower surface roughness (Ra < 0.15 nm), and reduced post-CMP cleaning burden versus alumina. Unlike ceria, they exhibit no catalytic oxidation risk toward Cu or low-k materials and require no acidic rinse steps.


Q4: Is the slurry compliant with semiconductor industry migration testing standards (e.g., SEMI F57, JEDEC JESD22-A106)?

A: Yes—validated per SEMI F57 for extractables analysis (ICP-MS) and meets JEDEC JESD22-A106 requirements for ionic contamination limits in final devices after full BEOL integration and packaging.
