ABSTRACT:
A first chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry includes a polishing agent, an oxidant, a pH control additive, and an oxide film removal retarder which reduces a removal rate of the silicon oxide film. A second chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry includes a polishing agent, an oxidant, a pH control additive, an oxide film removal retarder which reduces a removal rate of silicon oxide, and a defect prevention agent which inhibits scratch defects and/or corrosion defects at a surface of an aluminum film. In a one-step CMP process, either of the first or second slurry is used throughout CMP of an aluminum layer until an upper surface of an underlying silicon oxide layer is exposed. In a two-step CMP process, the first slurry is used in an initial CMP of the aluminum layer, and then the second slurry is used in a subsequent CMP until the upper surface of the underlying silicon layer is exposed.
