A method and apparatus for electrochemically processing metal and barrier materials is provided. In one embodiment, a method for electrochemically processing a substrate includes the steps of establishing an electrically-conductive path through an electrolyte between an exposed layer of barrier material on the substrate and an electrode, pressing the substrate against a processing pad assembly with a force less than about 2 psi, providing motion between the substrate and pad assembly in contact therewith and electrochemically removing a portion of the exposed layer during a first electrochemical processing step in a barrier processing station.
