Claim:
1. An electroplating system, comprising: an electrode assembly comprising electrodes, neighboring electrodes connected to be oppositely polarized when a voltage is applied thereacross, the neighboring electrodes spaced from one another by a dielectric material and each of the neighboring electrodes in direct contact with the dielectric material, each of the electrodes comprising an exposed horizontal surface coplanar with an exposed horizontal surface of the dielectric material; a power supply operably coupled to the electrode assembly; a wafer on which metal features are to be formed; and an electrode support configured to suspend the electrode assembly over the wafer, wherein ends of the electrodes distal to the wafer comprise exposed horizontal surfaces coplanar with an exposed horizontal surface of the dielectric material and ends of the electrodes proximal to the wafer comprise exposed horizontal surfaces coplanar with an exposed horizontal surface of the dielectric material.
