A structure in a semiconductor device useful in determining an endpoint in a chemical-mechanical polishing process is provided. The structure comprises a dielectric layer, an anti-reflective coating, and a metal layer. The dielectric layer has an opening extending therein. The anti-reflective coating extends over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer. The metal layer extends over at least a portion of the anti-reflective coating and within the opening. Thus, during the CMP process, the metal layer is removed, exposing the anti-reflective coating but leaving the metal layer in the opening to form a metal interconnect.
