Abstract:
The invention provides a polishing composition comprising (a) silica, (b) one or more compounds that increases the removal rate of silicon, (c) one or more tetraalkylammonium salts, and (d) water, wherein the polishing composition has a pH of about 7 to about 11. The invention further provides a method of polishing a substrate with the polishing composition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising silica, one or more organic carboxylic acids or salts thereof, one or more polysaccharides, one or more bases, optionally one or more surfactants and/or polymers, optionally one or more reducing agents, optionally one or more biocides, and water, wherein the polishing composition has an alkaline pH. The polishing composition exhibits a high removal rate and low particle defects and low haze. The invention further relates to a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate using the polishing composition described herein.

Abstract:
The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition consisting essentially of flumed alumina, alpha alumina, silica, a nonionic surfactant, an additive compound selected from the group consisting of glycine, alanine, iminodiacetic acid, and maleic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water. The invention further provides a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate comprising contacting a substrate with a polishing pad and the chemical-mechanical polishing composition, moving the polishing pad and the polishing composition relative to the substrate, and abrading at least a portion of the substrate to polish the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention includes methods for producing magnetic nanocrystals by using a biological molecule that has been modified to possess an amino acid oligomer that is capable of specific binding to a magnetic material.
Abstract:
A system for controlling bicycle tire air pressure on the go is provided. The system has a wheel mounted portion and a control unit in communication with one another. The wheel mounted portion attached to each wheel has a gas source, manifold, regulator to control air flow into and out of the tire, and a communication device. The control unit monitors air pressure in each tire, and has a user interface allowing input of a higher or lower tire pressure. Based on user input, the control unit instructs operation of the wheel mounted portion, controlling pressure within the tire.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chemical-mechanical polishing composition comprising silica, one or more tetraalkylammonium salts, one or more bicarbonate salts, one or more alkali metal hydroxides, one or more aminophosphonic acids, one or more rate accelerator compounds, one or more polysaccharides, and water. The polishing composition reduces surface roughness and PSD of polished substrates. The invention further relates to a method of chemically-mechanically polishing a substrate, especially a silicon substrate, using the polishing composition described herein.
