The present invention provides a method for improving the planarization of a top layer deposited over a patterned layer on a semiconductor wafer. The patterned layer may include both small and large features. Openings, grooves, or trenches are etched partially or completely through certain larger target features in the patterned layer in an effort to mimic the topography of areas where the patterned layer includes smaller features. Subsequent deposition of the top layer may result in a more consistent or regular topography across the surface of the top layer. Accordingly, high areas on the top layer that contact a polishing pad of a CMP system will tend to be removed at a similar rate since the pressure exerted by each of the high areas will be similar.

The disclosure includes a fence post support system comprising an elongate shell having an open upper end, a closed lower end that is opposite the open upper end, a hollow inner portion, and sidewalls that surround the hollow inner portion. The system can also include a plurality of drain openings extending through the closed lower end. Additionally, the system can include a first sidewall extending from a first portion of the elongate shell.

A device made of metal or strong plastic that fits the portion of a post that is below ground having an open upper end, a closed lower end, and surrounding side walls with portions of the walls that go up the side of post above the ground some distance less than the length of the post above the ground (see the accompanying diagrams in Document EZMZ Drawing of Invention—FIG. -). The device is dimensioned such that the open upper end has dimensions for receiving the lower end of the post therein with some slightly more significant margin of adjustment in one of the X Y axis and some less significant margin in the other X Y axis. The device fits posts of various sizes with rectangular, cylindrical and triangular shapes. The portion of the side wall that extends up the sides of the post above the ground has an array of holes for fastening the post to the device with bolts or screws. The bottom of the device has an array of holes for drainage.
