The compositions of the present disclosure polish surfaces or substrates that at least partially include ruthenium. The composition includes a synergistic combination of ammonia and oxygenated halogen compound. The composition may further include abrasive and acid(s). A polishing composition for use on ruthenium materials may include ammonia, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; hydrogen periodate, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; silica, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 12 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; and organic sulfonic acid, present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the pH of the composition is between 6 and 8.
A method of removing ruthenium material from a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises the ruthenium material and a second material selected from the group consisting of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), a titanium material, and a combination thereof, and wherein the ruthenium material is applied with a chemical vapor deposition process or a physical vapor deposition process, the method comprising the steps of:
