ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for electroplating a workpiece. The apparatus includes an anode basket containing particles of an electroplating material. A mask is positioned around the anode basket to selectively block current flow from the basket to the workpiece which is mounted to a cathode. The mask includes a frame supporting a number of non-conductive plates adjusted in position to provide a desired electrical field distribution. The resulting electrical field between the anode and the cathode produces uniform plating thickness over the entire surface of the workpiece.
