摘要:A method for measuring a target constituent of an electroplating solution usingan electroanalytical technique is set forth in which the electroplating solution includesone or more constituents whose by-products skew an initial electrical response to anenergy input of the electroanalytical technique. The method comprises a first step inwhich an electroanalytical measurement cycle of the target constituent is initiated byproviding an energy input to a pair of electrodes disposed in the electroplating solution.The energy input to the pair of electrodes is provided for at least a predetermined timeperiod corresponding to a time period in which the electroanalytical measurement cyclereaches a steady-state condition. In a subsequent step, an electroanalytical measurementof the energy output of the electroanalytical technique is taken after theelectroanalytical measurement cycle has reached the steady-state condition. Theelectroanalytical measurement is then used to determine an amount of the targetconstituent in the electroplating solution. An automatic dosing system that includes theforegoing method and/or one or more known electroanalytical techniques in a close-loop system is also set forth.
