  • Abstract
    Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was evaluated as an accelerator of the tantalum nitride chemical-mechanical planarisation (CMP) process as well as a stabiliser of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Also estimated were the dispersion stability and zeta potential of the abrasive with the contents of phosphoric acid. This approach may be useful for the development of the second step copper CMP slurry and hydrogen peroxide stability.
