Hi, dear Nabhiraj, Thank you for the advise. The current density needs to be reduced so that we can have a more uniform layer across the board.

I guess you may have to make the solution acidic where the current flow will be more and make lighter solution of Copper sulphate. But what happens to Si layer with acidic solution we have to think... I guess it is not possible. You reduce the current density ! What is the reason? Why don't you want to reduce the current density? Dilute solution is the best alternative for this. Nabhiraj
