Electro-mechanically polished structure

   
   

A method of patterning a metal surface by electro-mechanical polishing is disclosed. A metal surface is placed in fluid communication with an abrasive surface of a pad. The two surfaces are moved relative to each other, in acidic fluid which contains abrasive particles. An electrical circuit is formed between the metal surface and abrasive pad and a current is supplied to the circuit. The patterned surface then is processed into a useful feature such as a bottom electrode for a DRAM capacitor.
