Abstract
A plating apparatus and plating methods for plating metal layers on a substrate. In an embodiment, a plating method comprises: step 1: immersing a substrate into plating solution of a plating chamber assembly including at least a first anode and a second anode (3001); step 2: turning on a first plating power supply applied on the first anode, setting the first plating power supply to output a power value P11 and continue with a period T11 (3002); step 3: when the period T11 ends, adjusting the first plating power supply applied on the first anode to output a power value P12 and continue with a period T12, at the same time, turning on a second plating power supply applied on the second anode, and setting the second plating power supply to output a power value P21 and continue with a period T21 (3003); and step 4: when the period T21 ends, adjusting the second plating power supply applied on the second anode to output a power value P22 and continue with a period T22; wherein step 2 to step 4 are performed periodically.
