Abstract
Methods for electroplating metal can include passing an electrical current through a conductive surface and an electroplating solution adjacent the conductive surface. An electroplating voltage for the conductive surface and the electroplating solution can be determined based on the electrical current through the conductive surface and the electroplating solution adjacent the conductive surface. The determined electroplating voltage can then be maintained while electroplating the metal from the electroplating solution on the conductive surface. Related systems are also discussed.
