Abstract

See full text

An electrostatic chuck 55 has an electrostatic member 100 including a dielectric 115 having a surface 120 adapted to receive the substrate 30. The dielectric 115 covers an electrode 105 that is chargeable to electrostatically hold the substrate 30. A support 190 below the electrostatic member 100 has a cavity 300 adapted to hold a gas to serve as a thermal insulator to regulate the flow of heat from the electrostatic chuck 55 to a surface 120 of the chamber 25. The cavity 300 has a cross-sectional profile that is shaped to provide a predetermined temperature profile across the substrate 30.
