Applied adds tungsten CMP process

techweb.cmp.com

Any thoughts on how SpeedFam's product compares for this
application. I was particularly interested in this statement:

"The Mirra's design uses Applied's in situ rate monitor technology, called ISRM, to precisely stop the polishing process when it reaches
the thin oxide dielectric layer under the tungsten. The ISRM
technology is intended to minimize overpolishing and control
plug recess within less than 200 angstroms."
