本発明に係る研磨用組成物は、3個以上のヒドロキシ基を有する有機化合物(以下、単に有機化合物とも称する)を含む。該有機化合物は、相変化化合物の表面に形成されるヒドロキシ基と脱水縮合することにより結合し、相変化化合物の表面の研磨性を向上させる。
本発明の研磨用組成物は、相変化化合物に含まれる少なくとも1つの成分に対してキレート作用を有する剤および脆性膜形成剤の少なくとも一方を含む。これらの剤は、相変化化合物の表面に作用することにより、研磨速度をより高める働きをする。
本発明の研磨用組成物には、相変化化合物に含まれる少なくとも1つの成分に対してキレート作用を有する剤を含有させることができる。当該キレート作用を有する剤は、相変化化合物表面と錯形成して、水溶性錯体を形成することにより、相変化化合物の表面を化学的にエッチングする作用を有し、研磨用組成物による研磨速度を向上させる働きをする。
本発明の研磨用組成物に含まれうる脆性膜形成剤は、相変化化合物表面と化学結合して不溶性の脆性膜を形成する。当該脆性膜とは、相変化化合物と脆性膜形成剤とが化学結合することによって生成する不溶性の膜を指し、相変化化合物自体よりも脆くなった膜のことである。ここでいう化学結合とは、共有結合、イオン結合、水素結合、分子間力による結合等である。その脆性膜を砥粒で機械的に研磨することで、高い研磨速度が得られる。脆性膜形成剤の例としては、飽和モノカルボン酸、リン酸化合物、アミン、アンモニウム化合物等が挙げられる。
