In case the CMP actually has such a shitty depth control as the folks at HKUST claimed on Thursday we might have to resort to another strategy because a variation of 5 microns makes their CMP machine unusable for the STI.
Maybe etching the STI trenches after building the n-well/p-well and before the gate, and then using another expsosure step in order to open windows in the oxide for the thin-oxide+polysilicon to touch down to the wells?
Danny? Anyone? Thoughts?

Hi What do you think about building the box isolation after constructing the wells? Any apparent downside on this I'm overlooking?
