Electroplating apparatus and four mask TFT array process with electroplated metal

A method for fabricating an active array for a liquid crystal display device comprising the steps of:

• forming addressing lines for the active array;
• providing an electroplating apparatus including a plurality of chambers, a first chamber for receiving an electrolytic solution, the first chamber including an anode which is disposed within the first chamber, the first chamber including a first opening for delivering the electrolytic solution containing metal ions onto the addressing lines to be electroplated, the addressing lines being a cathode, and a second chamber formed adjacent to the first chamber and having a second opening in proximity of the first opening for removing electrolytic solution containing metal ions from the addressing lines to be electroplated, wherein the first chamber is surrounded by the second chamber;
• and
• moving the plurality of chambers in a first direction along the addressing lines to be electroplated to electroplate the metal ions onto the addressing lines.
