Abstract: An apparatus is described for detecting the presence of a gaseous chemical produced during a chemical-mechanical polishing operation. The apparatus includes a catalytic converter, a reaction chamber and a light sensor. The catalytic converter, heated to about 800° C. converts the chemical to a different chemical product. The reaction chamber produces an excited species; the pressure in the reaction chamber is maintained sufficiently low to substantially avoid collisional deactivation of the excited species, so as to permit real-time detection of the chemical. A light signal from the excited species is input to the light sensor. An output from the light sensor corresponds to the real-time detection of the chemical, thereby permitting real-time control of the chemical-mechanical polishing operation.

Abstract: A method is described for fabricating a cloisonné structure, in which a top surface of a metal oxide layer is made coplanar with a top surface of a metallic structure formed on a substrate. A nitride layer is deposited on at least the top surface of the metallic structure, and the metal oxide layer is deposited over the metallic structure and the nitride layer. The metal oxide layer is then polished by a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process using a slurry, to expose the nitride layer on the top surface of the metallic structure. Polishing of the nitride layer causes ammonia to be generated in the slurry. The ammonia is extracted as a gas from the slurry, and a signal is generated in accordance with the ammonia concentration. The CMP process is terminated in accordance with a change in the signal. In a preferred embodiment, the metal oxide is aluminum oxide, the nitride is aluminum nitride, and the nitride layer is deposited as a conformal layer on the substrate and the metallic structure.
