ELECTRODEPOSlTlON
A method of controlling a plating of an article comprising providing a container that supports a plating fluid bath; immersing the article within the plating fluid bath; providing a cathode in electrical contact with the article; providing an anode comprised of an adjustable section; forming a positive voltage difference from the anode to the cathode; and bending the adjustable section of the anode to change the electrostatic field formed between the anode and article to control the plating of the article.

US. Patent 6,303,014. Oct. 16, 2001 E.J. Taylor et al., assignors to Faraday Technology Marketing Group
A method for depositing a continuous layer of a metal onto a substrate having small recesses in its surface comprising immersing an electrically conductive substrate having a generally smooth surface having at least one small recess therein, wherein at least one transverse dimension of the recess is from 5 to 350 micrometers, in an electroplating bath substantially devoid of at least one member selected from the group consisting of levelers and brighteners; immersing a counter electrode current in the plating bath; and passing current between the substrate and counter electrode, wherein the electric current is modulated reversing electric current, to deposit a film; and contacting the conditioned surface with a carbon dispersion.
