Electroplating system

Abstract

An electroplating system includes an electroplating bath in which a cathode end and at least an anode end are configured. The anode end is provided with plural anode elements which are insulative from one another, as well as plural conductive elements which are connected electrically with each anode element, respectively. The electroplating system enables a variety of distribution of the electric lines of force to be formed in the electroplating bath through energizing one or any number of anode elements. In particular, good benefits can be achieved by a more aggressive and reliable means, without a need for changing the original anode end equipment.
