Abstract:
A planarization process is performed to a wafer. In various embodiments, the planarization process may include a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. A byproduct generated by the planarization process is collected and analyzed. Based on the analysis, one or more process controls are performed for the planarization process. In some embodiments, the process controls include but are not limited to process endpoint detection or halting the planarization process based on detecting an error associated with the planarization process.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the performing the one or more process controls comprises determining, based on the identifying of the one or more elements included in the byproduct, that the planarization process has an abnormality.
