Abstract

See full text

Methods of avoiding chemical mechanical polish (CMP) edge erosion and a related wafer are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a wafer; forming a first material across the wafer; forming a second material at an outer edge region of the wafer, leaving a central region of the wafer devoid of the second material; and performing chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the wafer. The second material diminishes CMP edge erosion.
