Abstract
The invention presents methods and systems for plating conductive patterns which at least result in a high uniformity and avoid parasitical plating effects. A plating system is disclosed for plating conductive patterns formed at a first surface of a substrate. The system is such that exposure surfaces not to be plated is inhibited. A first electrode of the system is immersed in the plating solution while the second electrode is in contact with another than the first surface of the substrate. The conductive patterns to be plated are temporarily electrically connected with the second electrode.
