Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is an enabling process technology for IC fabrication to maintain global planarity across the wafer to satisfy lithographic depth of focus constraints. It also enables integration of materials that cannot be anisotropically etched, such as Cu. CMP utilizes nanoparticle abrasives in aqueous slurry to aid in planarization.
