Abstract

See full text

A substrate support in a semiconductor plasma processing apparatus, comprises multiple independently controllable thermal zones arranged in a scalable multiplexing layout, and electronics to independently control and power the thermal zones. A substrate support in which the substrate support is incorporated includes an electrostatic clamping electrode and a temperature controlled base plate. Methods for manufacturing the substrate support include bonding together ceramic or polymer sheets having thermal zones, power supply lines, power return lines and vias.
