ABSTRACT:
A method of CMP of the semiconductor device where the method comprises the sequential steps of providing a semiconductor device, forming a copper layer on the semiconductor device and planarizing the copper layer with a medium. The medium comprises an abrasive component and a chemical solution. The chemical solution comprises water, an oxidizing agent, a first coordinating ligand adapted to form a complex with Cu(I) and a second coordinating ligand adapted to form a complex with Cu(II).
