| 20080311750 | Polishing composition for semiconductor wafer and polishing method - The present invention relates to a polishing composition for a semiconductor wafer which is excellent in polishing property, and a polishing method. The polishing composition for a semiconductor wafer comprises colloidal silica consisting of non-spherical silica particles having a ratio of long axis to short axis of 1.5 to 15. The polishing method for a semiconductor wafer uses the polishing composition. The polishing composition can provide a remarkably high polishing rate compared with a polishing composition using spherical colloidal silica, and can provide good mirror-polishing without causing scratches. In addition, small alkali metal content enables reduction of adverse effects on a semiconductor wafer, such as residual abrasives after polishing. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080287038 | Polishing composition for semiconductor wafer, method for production thereof and polishing method - The present invention relates to a polishing composition for a substrate including a metal such as wiring, etc., formed on a semiconductor wafer, which can provide a high polishing rate without causing scratches on the wiring metal, a method of producing the polishing composition, and a polishing method. The polishing composition for a semiconductor wafer comprises an acid and an aqueous medium dispersion containing positively-charged silica particles having an amino group-containing silane coupling agent bonded on a surface thereof, the polishing composition having a pH of 2 to 6. | 11-20-2008 |
