Disclosed is a polishing slurry, particularly, a slurry for chemical mechanical polishing, which is used in a chemical mechanical polishing process for flattening a semiconductor laminate. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of producing a slurry which has high removal selectivity to a nitride layer used as a barrier film in a shallow trench isolation CMP process needed to fabricate ultra highly integrated semiconductors of 256 mega D-RAM or more (Design rule of 0.13 μm or less) and which decreases the occurrence of scratches on a flattened surface, and a method of polishing a substrate using the same.

A CMP slurry is provided comprising polishing particles, the polishing particle comprising organically modified colloidal silica. Also, a method of preparing a CMP slurry is provided, comprising the steps of: preparing polishing particles comprising organically modified silica; converting the polishing particles into an aqueous state; and adding pure water, a hydrophilic additive and a dispersing agent to the polishing particles. The polishing particles can be synthesized using a sol-gel process. According to the invention, a slurry having excellent polishing properties can be prepared, in which the surface properties of colloidal silica are changed to control the physical properties of the polishing particles and which can ensure a desired CMP removal rate while minimizing the occurrence of scratches.

Disclosed herein are stretchable, foldable and optionally printable, processes for making devices and devices such as semiconductors, electronic circuits and components thereof that are capable of providing good performance when stretched, compressed, flexed or otherwise deformed. Strain isolation layers provide good strain isolation to functional device layers. Multilayer devices are constructed to position a neutral mechanical surface coincident or proximate to a functional layer having a material that is susceptible to strain-induced failure. Neutral mechanical surfaces are positioned by one or more layers having a property that is spatially inhomogeneous, such as by patterning any of the layers of the multilayer device.
