ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a cyanide-free chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition useful for polishing a gold-containing surface of a substrate. The CMP composition comprises an abrasive, a gold-oxidizing agent, a cyanide-free gold-solubilizing agent, and an aqueous carrier therefor. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a gold-containing surface of a substrate with the aforementioned polishing composition.
