METHODS OF PLANARIZATION

A method of planarization allows for the use of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) in starting structures having films not generally suitable for CMP processes. Two material layers are formed over a starting structure, and the upper layer is planarized in a CMP process. A nonselective etch is then...

Zusammenfassung:A method of planarization allows for the use of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) in starting structures having films not generally suitable for CMP processes. Two material layers are formed over a starting structure, and the upper layer is planarized in a CMP process. A nonselective etch is then used to transfer the planar topography to the lower level.
