US Classification:
51309, 51307, 106 3, 423263
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing particles suitable for use as abrasives in chemical-mechanical polishing slurries. The process according to the invention includes adding a crystallization promoter such as Ti[OCH(CH ) )] to an aqueous cerium salt solution, adjusting the pH of the solution to higher than 7. 0 using one or more bases, and subjecting the solution to hydrothermal treatment at a temperature of from about 90Â C. to about 500Â C. to produce the particles.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing particles suitable for use as abrasives in chemical-mechanical polishing slurries. The process according to the invention includes mixing at least one crystallization promoter such as Ti[OCH(CH ) )] with at least one cerium compound and at least one solvent, and subjecting said mixture to hydrothermal treatment at a temperature of from about 60Â C. to about 700Â C. to produce the particles. Particles formed in accordance with the present invention exhibit a large crystallite size, and can be used to polish silicon-containing substrates to a high degree of planarity at a relatively high rate.

US Classification:
210639, 423 70, 423 71, 423598, 423636, 428403
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of removing spectator ions and contaminants from aqueous suspensions of solid particles. In accordance with the method of the invention, the solid particles are transported across a phase boundary into a non-polar organic solvent, leaving the spectator ions and contaminants in the aqueous phase. To facilitate the efficient transportation of the solid particles across the phase boundary, the surface of the solid particles is coated with an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte. If desired, the solid particles can be recovered from the organic phase by evaporating the organic solvent.
