Zusammenfassung: | Metal may be electroplated on a semiconductor substrate in an electroplating chamber with a micro inert anode array positioned proximate to the semiconductor substrate having one or more die. The micro inert anode array includes a plurality of micro inert anode elements that are independently controllable. Current applied to the micro inert anode elements provides a current distribution in the array that may be based at least in part on a die layout in the semiconductor substrate or based at least in part on global within-wafer corrections. The current distribution may achieve uniform plating thickness even with a non-uniform distribution of features in the die of the semiconductor substrate. In some implementations, current distribution may be adjusted in the array during substrate rotation according to a rotational path of the semiconductor substrate. |
