Chemical mechanical polishing of aluminum and photoresist using colloidal silica-based slurry was experimented. The effects of slurry pH, silica concentration, and oxidizer ($H_2O_2$) concentration on surface roughness and removal rate were studied. The optimum slurry conditions for reduction of micro-scratch were investigated. The optimum chemical mechanical polishing with the colloidal silica-based slurry was compared with conventional chemical mechanical polishing with alumina-based slurry. Chemical mechanical polishing of the aluminum with the colloidal silica-based slurry showed improved result but chemical mechanical polishing of the photoresist did not. The improved result was comparative with that of chemical mechanical polishing with filtered alumina-based slurry which one of desirable methods to reduce the micro-scratch.
