Abstract:
Methods of and apparatuses for monitoring electroplating bath quality in electroplating cells using voltage readings are described herein. Methods involve obtaining real-time voltage readings during an electroplating process and determining whether the voltage readings are within a threshold deviation of an expected voltage reading at a given time.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n determining the corresponding expected voltage by adding the initial voltage to a drift parameter that varies during the electroplating, wherein the initial voltage between the substrate and the second electrode is read before repeatedly reading the voltage between the substrate and the second electrode, wherein the drift parameter is independent of the total magnitude of the repeated readings of voltage between the substrate and the second electrode, and wherein the drift parameter corresponds to the drift determined from substrate electroplating operations that produce satisfactory electroplating results.
