Abstract:
Plating bath and well structures and methods are described to stop the organic compounds present in plating reservoir wells or bath solution from rising, i.e., climbing up the reservoir wall. An electroplating apparatus includes a vessel holding a liquid solution including metal plating material and an organic species, and a method of operating an electroplating apparatus. The apparatus is designed with plating bath and structures and methods to stop the organic compounds present in plating reservoir wells or bath solution from rising, i.e., climbing or wicking up the inner surfaces of reservoir walls, and to wash them back down on a continuous or cyclical basis in order to maintain a concentration of organic compounds in the plating solution within upper and lower specification limits.

Claim (Index 12):
The electroplating apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n a groove formed in each inner wall surface around a perimeter of the vessel in which the barrier material lining is formed, wherein the barrier material lining has a surface contiguous with the inner wall surface.
