A metal layer formed on a wafer, the wafer having a center portion and an edge portion, is electropolished by aligning a nozzle and the wafer to position the nozzle adjacent to the center portion of the wafer. The wafer is rotated. As the wafer is rotated, a stream of electrolyte is applied from the nozzle onto a portion of the metal layer adjacent to the center portion of the wafer to begin to electropolish the portion of the metal layer with a triangular polishing profile to initially expose an underlying layer underneath the metal layer at a point.
