Embodiments of threshold adjustment circuits are disclosed. The component comprises a core portion formed of a first material and a second portion integral with the core portion and formed of a second material. Such a reduced receive processing state may be co-extensive with a Control Hold state. The flexibility of a manufacturer to use an expanded range of temperature and pressure in CMP processes, combined with a significant reduction in the cost of consumables, provides a significant advantage in the final cost of ownership in the production of multilayer, integrated circuit devices and other products where CMP is utilized in manufacture.
