A retaining ring for use with electrochemical mechanical processing is described. The retaining ring has a generally annular body formed with a conductive portion and a non-conductive portion. The non-conductive portion contacts the substrate during polishing. The conductive portion is electrically biased during polishing to reduce the edge effect that tends to occur with conventional electrochemical mechanical processing systems.

Methods are provided for removing conductive materials from a substrate surface. In one aspect, a method includes providing a substrate comprising dielectric feature definitions formed between substrate field regions, a barrier material disposed in the feature definitions and on the substrate field regions, and a conductive material disposed on the barrier material, polishing the substrate to substantially remove a bulk portion of the conductive material with a direct current bias, and polishing the substrate to remove a residual portion of the conductive material with a pulse bias.

An apparatus and method for planarizing a surface of a substrate using a chamber separated into two parts by a membrane, and two separate electrolytes is provided. The embodiments of the present invention generally provide an electrochemical mechanical polishing system that reduces the number of defects found on the substrate surface after polishing. An exemplary electrochemical apparatus includes a physical barrier that prevents any trapped gas or gas generated during processing from residing in areas that can cause defects on the substrate. The process can be aided by the addition of various chemical components to the electrolyte that tend to reduce the gas generation at the cathode surface during the ECMP anodic dissolution process.
