PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for electroplating a workpiece, and to provide a method therefor. SOLUTION: The apparatus (10) for electroplating the workpiece (12) includes a primary electroplating anode (14), an auxiliary electroplating anode (16) and a resistor (18). The resistor is electrically connected in series to one of the primary and auxiliary electroplating anodes. The primary and auxiliary electroplating anodes are electrically connectable in parallel to an electrolyte. The method for electroplating the workpiece (12) includes obtaining the electrolyte (20), the primary electroplating anode (14) and the auxiliary electroplating anode (16). The workpiece and the primary and auxiliary electroplating anodes are positioned in contact with the electrolyte. Electric current is applied through the primary electroplating anode at a first amperage and through the auxiliary electroplating anode at a different second amperage. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
