在化学机械抛光加工过程中通过原位蚀刻去除缺陷

Removal of defects by in-situ etching during chemical-mechanical polishing processing
Abstract:
Technologies for a process used to reduce the height of a raised profile of a device. One or more raised profiles on one or more layers of a device are removed using a combined chemical-mechanical polishing/etching process. In some implementations, a protective layer is applied to a top layer of a device grown on a substrate. A combined chemical-mechanical polishing/etching process may commence whereby one or more raised profiles of the protective layer are removed through a planarization process, exposing at least a portion of a raised profile of a layer below the protective layer. Material may be removed using an etchant to reduce the height of the raised profile.
