Methods and apparatus are described for electrodeposition of Group IIB- VIA materials out of electrolytes comprising Group IIB and Group VIA species onto surfaces of workpieces. In one embodiment a method of electrodeposition is described wherein the control of the process is achieved by measuring an initial value of the electrodeposition current at the beginning of the process and adding Group VIA species into the electrolyte to keep the electrodeposition current substantially constant, such a within +/- 10% of the initial value throughout the deposition period. In another embodiment an apparatus comprising multiple deposition chambers are described, each deposition chamber containing an anode and a workpiece, and wherein two thirds of the deposition chambers within the apparatus contain anodes comprising a substantially pure Group VIA element in their composition, and the rest of the deposition chambers contain anodes free from any Group VIA element in their composition. |
