In the fabrication of integrated circuits, certain steps of materials processing involve chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) of Al deposited on thin layers of diffusion barrier materials like Ta/TaN, Co, or Ti/TiN. A specific example of this situation is found in the processing of replacement metal gates used for high-k/metal-gate transistors. Since the commonly used barrier materials are nobler...
