Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming are provided. In some embodiments the method includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate and patterning the dielectric layer to form a first recess. The method may also include depositing a first layer in the first recess and depositing a second layer over the first layer, the second layer being different than the first layer. The method may also include performing a first chemical mechanical polish (CMP) process on the second layer using a first oxidizer and performing a second CMP process on remaining portions of the second layer and the first layer using the first oxidizer. The method may also include forming a first conductive element over the remaining portions of the first layer after the second CMP polish is performed.

Claim (Index 19):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 18 , wherein the first number of material layers comprise a layer of ruthenium.
