发明名称 Planarization method, method for polishing wafer, and CMP system
摘要 A planarization method is provided. The planarization method includes providing a wafer, in which the wafer includes a work function layer, a surface layer formed on the work function layer and oxidized from the work function layer, and a planarization layer disposed on or above the surface layer, performing a chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) process on the planarization layer, providing an incident light to a surface of the wafer under the CMP process, detecting absorption of the incident light by the surface layer; and stopping the CMP process in response to an increase in the detected absorption of the incident light.
