A spin-on-material is coated over a conductive structure having a narrow and wide gaps formed between thereof. The layer may be used as polishing stop layer that can prevent slurry or polishing pad from reaching the region in the wide gap, thereby eliminating the dishing effect. In a preferred embodiment, the polishing stop layer is composed of thin spin-on-material such as silicate-type spin-on-glass, and the spin-on-material is diluted in commercial chemical called thinner. Then, a thermal treatment is used to convert the spin-on-glass into silicon dioxide at a temperature about 100 to 400 centigrade degrees. Then, a CMP is used to polish the spin-on-material.
A method of forming a dishing free conductive structure, said method comprising:
