The present disclosure is directed to a fluid composition that can be used in chemical-mechanical polishing processes of inorganic material. The fluid composition can include at least one oxidizing agent and a multivalent cation component. Using the fluid composition during a chemical-mechanical polishing process can facilitate a relatively defect free material surface after polishing while achieving a suitable material removal rate.

The present invention provides aqueous CMP polishing compositions comprising a from 0.5 to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition of a dispersion of a plurality of elongated, bent or nodular colloidal silica particles which contain a cationic nitrogen atom, and from 0.001 to 0.5 wt. %, preferably from 10 to 500 ppm, of a cationic copolymer of a diallyldimethylammonium salt, such as a diallyldimethylammonium halide, wherein the compositions have a pH of from 1 to 4.5. Preferably, the cationic copolymer of a diallyldimethylammonium salt comprises a copolymer of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) and sulfur dioxide. The slurry compositions demonstrate good oxide selectivity in the CMP polishing of pattern wafers having nitride and silicon patterns.

The present invention relates to a composition for etching, comprising a first inorganic acid, a first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1, and a solvent. The composition for etching is a high-selectivity composition that can selectively remove a nitride film while minimizing the etch rate of an oxide film, and which does not have problems such as particle generation, which adversely affect the device characteristics.
