Abstract: Methods of semiconductor processing may include contacting a substrate with a first slurry and a first platen. The substrate may include silicon oxide defining one or more features, a liner extending across the silicon oxide and within the one or more features, and a copper-containing layer deposited on the liner and extending within the one or more features. The first slurry and the first platen may remove a first portion of the copper-containing layer. The methods may include contacting the substrate with a second slurry and a second platen, which may remove at least a portion of the liner. The methods may include contacting the substrate with a third slurry and a third platen, which may remove a second portion of the copper-containing layer. The methods may include contacting the substrate with a fourth slurry and a fourth platen, which may remove at least a portion of the silicon oxide.
