Abstract
An anode includes an anode cup, a membrane and ion source material, the anode cup and membrane forming an enclosure in which the ion source material is located. The anode cup includes a base section having a central aperture and the membrane also has a central aperture. A jet is passed through the central apertures of the base section of the anode cup and through the membrane allowing plating solution to be directed at the center of a wafer being electroplated.
