Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02073681A1] A polishing composition for polishing a semiconductor wafer includes a source of chloride ions in solution, which reduces surface roughness of copper interconnects that are recessed in the wafer. High points on the copper interconnects are polished during a polishing operation, while the chloride ions migrate to electric fields concentrated at the high points. The chloride ions at the high points deter replating of copper ions from solution onto the high points. The copper ions replate evenly over the surface on the interconnects, which reduces the surface roughness of the interconnects.
