1. A chemical mechanical polishing composition comprising:
a water based liquid carrier;
abrasive particles dispersed in the liquid carrier, wherein the abrasive particles comprise a colloidal silica abrasive, and the colloidal silica abrasive has a permanent positive charge of at least 10 mV, wherein the permanent positive charge is obtained by incorporating an aminosilane compound in the colloidal silica particles;
an iron containing accelerator, wherein the iron containing accelerator is a soluble iron containing catalyst present in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide a range from about 0.5 to about 20 ppm Fe based on the total weight of the composition;
a hydrogen peroxide oxidizer; and
a cationic polymer having an amino acid monomer unit, wherein the cationic polymer comprises at least one of polylysine, polyarginine, and polyhistidine.
