Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for plating a conductive material on a substrate surface in a highly desirable manner. The invention removes at least one additive adsorbed on the top portion of the workpiece more than at least one additive disposed on a cavity portion, using an indirect external influence, thereby allowing plating of the conductive material take place before the additive fully re-adsorbs onto the top portion, thus causing greater plating of the cavity portion relative to the top portion.
