Abstract
Synthesis of dicationic polymer or copolymer is disclosed. The dicationic polymer or copolymer are formed by at least one dicationic (or dual-cationic) monomer. Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) slurries comprise abrasives; activator, oxidizing agent; additive comprising dicationic polymer or copolymer; and water. The use of the synthesized dicationic polymer or copolymer in the CMP slurries reduces dishing and erosion in highly selective tungsten slurries.
