<p>The present invention relates to a method of electrodepositing metal onto a substrate, which comprises applying a pulsed periodic reverse current across the electrodes of a plating cell utilizing a peak reverse current density and peak forward current density; and varying the ratio of peak reverse current density to peak forward current density in periodic cycles to provide metal deposits of uniform thickness and appearance upon the substrate. The invention also relates to a process for improving the properties of an electrodeposit, particularly on substrates having uneven surfaces or apertures, by using programmed pulse periodic reverse current modulation. More particularly, it involves varying the anodic to cathodic current density ratio, in order to improve the surface uniformity appearance, grain structure and levelling of the deposit while maintaining high current density throwing power.</p> |
