Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising alpha alumina, fumed alumina, silica, an oxidizing agent that oxidizes nickel phosphorous, oxalic acid, optionally, tartaric acid, optionally, a nonionic surfactant, optionally, a biocide, and water. The invention also provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate comprising contacting a substrate with a polishing pad and the chemical-mechanical polishing composition, moving the polishing pad and the polishing composition relative to the substrate, and abrading at least a portion of the substrate to polish the substrate.
Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition containing wet-process silica, an oxidizing agent that oxidizes nickel-phosphorous, a chelating agent, polyvinyl alcohol, and water. The invention also provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate, especially a nickel-phosphorous substrate, by contacting a substrate with a polishing pad and the chemical-mechanical polishing composition, moving the polishing pad and the polishing composition relative to the substrate, and abrading at least a portion of the substrate to polish the substrate.
Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition containing (a) abrasive particles, (b) a polymer, and (c) water, wherein (i) the polymer possesses an overall charge, (ii) the abrasive particles have a zeta potential Z a measured in the absence of the polymer and the abrasive particles have a zeta potential Z b measured in the presence of the polymer, wherein the zeta potential Z a is a numerical value that is the same sign as the overall charge of the polymer, and (iii) | zeta potential Z b | > | zeta potential Z a |. The invention also provides a method of polishing a substrate with the polishing composition.
