Abstract

See full text

A method of electrostatically chucking a wafer while removing heat from the wafer in a plasma reactor includes providing a polished generally continuous surface on a puck, placing the wafer on the polished surface of the puck and cooling the puck. A chucking voltage is applied to an electrode within the puck to electrostatically pull the wafer onto the surface of the puck with sufficient force to attain a selected heat transfer coefficient between contacting surfaces of the puck and wafer.
