DERIVATIZED POLYAMINO ACIDS

Abstract:

A composition comprises, consists of, or consists essentially of a polymer including a derivatized amino acid monomer unit. A chemical mechanical polishing composition includes a water based liquid carrier, abrasive particles dispersed in the liquid carrier, and a cationic polymer having a derivatized amino acid monomer unit. A method of chemical mechanical polishing includes utilizing the chemical mechanical polishing composition to remove at least a portion of a metal or dielectric layer from a substrate and thereby polish the substrate.
