A Method for Analysis of Trasmission Line Neworks Using Frequency Response Approximation

A method and apparatus for electrically biasing a substrate in an electrochemical processing system is generally provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for electrochemical processing includes a polishing pad and a conductive element disposed therein. The polishing pad has an upper surface adapted to support a substrate thereon during processing. The conductive element disposed in the polishing pad is movable between a first position having at least a portion of the conductive element exposed above the upper surface and a second position below the upper surface, wherein the conductive element is magnetically biased towards the first position.
