Dan,

thanks to Mike Morley on the Intel thread,
did some research on Sematech group.

news.cnet.com.

Discusses the item of polishing problems.

"Under the Applied-Sematech alliance, the two organizations will essentially seek to develop a fungible standard for the polishing process for copper-based chips. While the polishing phase is but one stage in manufacturing, it presents one of the stiffer challenges for copper-based chips. Copper is polished faster than other elements contained in a semiconductor wafer. As a result, normal polishing procedures can erase copper circuitry."
