Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

CMP tools generally sit after deposition or electroplating steps that create excess film thickness or nonplanar topography. CMP tools generally prepare flatter surfaces for subsequent patterning, dielectric formation, barrier deposition, metallization, and other integration steps.
