ABSTRACT:
Multiple-layer thin film devices are deposited by electroplating on an otherwise substantially clean substrate wafer. The composition of the electroplated alloy layers is maintained substantially uniform using a cathode assembly on which the substrate wafer is mounted. The cathode assembly includes an inner cathode ring electrically connected to the wafer, a thief ring external to the cathode ring and an insulating ring connected between and electrically insulating the cathode and thief rings. The cathode ring and the thief ring are powered by separate power sources.
