Zusammenfassung:One illustrative plating apparatus disclosed herein includes a substrate holder that is adapted to receive a substrate, an anode and an adjustable current shield positioned between the substrate holder and the anode. In this illustrative embodiment, the adjustable current shield includes a stationary member, a moveable member that is adapted to be moved relative to the stationary member and a plurality of current shield members that are operatively coupled to either the stationary member or the moveable member, wherein each of the current shield members is rotatably pinned to either the stationary member or the moveable member and wherein each of the current shield members is adapted to rotate when there is relative movement between the moveable member and the stationary member.
