Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polishing composition, and more particularly to a polishing composition used for polishing a sapphire substrate having a nonpolar or semipolar surface.
- the processing method of sapphire used as a substrate material when manufacturing LEDs and electronic devices is cut using a plane cutting machine through the crystal surface-making process, peripheral grinding process, orientation flat grinding process, and cutting process of the grown sapphire crystal.
- a polishing process is performed on the sapphire substrate that has been flat cut.
- the sapphire substrate has different properties depending on the plane orientation, and a substrate having a plane orientation suitable for the application can be selected.
- polar surfaces such as the C surface and semipolar surfaces such as the R surface are suitable for use as crystal growth substrate materials such as LEDs and electronic device materials
- nonpolar surfaces such as the A and M surfaces
- sapphire has a chemically very stable property that it is hardly affected by acids and alkalis, and has the second highest hardness after diamond. Therefore, in the polishing process, a high-hardness material such as diamond is used as abrasive grains to finish a sapphire substrate having a desired surface roughness and flatness.
- polishing requires a lot of processing time. For these reasons, in the polishing composition used for the purpose of polishing the sapphire substrate, it is important to reduce the cost of the abrasive grains and to obtain a high polishing rate.
- JP-T-2008-531319 discloses an inorganic abrasive material such as colloidal silica suspended in an aqueous medium containing a sufficient amount of a dissolved salt compound as an additive.
- a method of polishing a surface (for example, C-plane or R-plane) of a sapphire substrate with a polishing slurry having a basic pH and a basic pH is disclosed.

It has been found that the above problem can be solved by a polishing composition containing silica particles. And based on the said knowledge, it came to complete this invention.

As a result, it has been found that the polishing rate can be improved. Although the mechanism is not fully elucidated, it can be estimated as follows. It is known that polishing of a sapphire substrate proceeds by a solid phase reaction between abrasive grains and a sapphire substrate.
- the polishing rate when polishing the non-polar surface A using the same polishing composition is compared with the polishing rate when polishing the polar C surface, the polishing rate of the A surface is Since it is low, it can be said that the A side is harder to polish than the C side. As a reason for this, when the polished surface A is cleaned and observed, it has a characteristic that it is more water repellent than the surface C. From this, it is considered that the A surface becomes hydrophobic during polishing.
- a wetting agent such as a water-soluble polymer to the polishing composition to improve the wettability to the substrate surface may cause the agglomeration of abrasive grains or By causing the sapphire substrate to slip, the polishing efficiency tends to decrease.
- the uneven shape of the surface of the colloidal silica particles used as abrasive grains and the colloidal silica supplied between the polishing pad and the sapphire substrate It is necessary to optimize the particle size distribution of the particles.

- a general polishing apparatus there are a single-side polishing apparatus and a double-side polishing apparatus.
- a substrate is held using a holder called a carrier attached to an attaching plate typified by a ceramic plate. Then, while supplying the polishing composition, one surface of the substrate is polished by rotating a surface plate by pressing a surface plate with a polishing cloth affixed to one surface of the substrate.

Cheap. For this reason, in order to efficiently perform the solid-phase reaction between the substrate and the abrasive grains and to sufficiently exhibit the polishing efficiency, it is preferable that the number average particle diameter is relatively large. On the other hand, in the double-side polishing apparatus, it can be estimated that improvement of the polishing efficiency can be expected by the frictional force due to the unevenness of the abrasive grains. In any case, since polishing is performed by the physical action caused by the friction between the polishing pad and the polishing composition and the substrate, and the chemical action that the polishing composition brings to the substrate, It is important to perform the solid phase reaction efficiently.
