Abstract

See full text

Embodiments described herein provide a method for polishing a substrate surface. The methods generally include storing processing components in multiple storage units during processing, and combining the processing components to create a slurry while flowing the processing components to a polishing pad. A substrate is polished using the slurry, and the thickness of a material layer disposed on the substrate is determined. The flow rate of one or more processing components is then adjusted to affect the rate of removal of the material layer disposed on the substrate.
