Abstract

A temperature controller is provided and includes interfaces, a compensation controller, summers, and a second controller. An interface receives a bias power signal and a plasma signal. The bias power signal indicates a bias RF power level of a RF generator. The plasma signal indicates a plasma RF power level of another RF generator. Another interface receives a temperature signal indicating a temperature of a substrate support. The compensation controller generates a compensation value based on a bias feed-forward transfer function and the bias RF power level and another compensation value based on a plasma feed-forward transfer function and the plasma RF power level. A summer generates an error signal based on a set point and the temperature. The second controller generates a control signal based on the error signal. Another summer controls an actuator to adjust the temperature based on the compensation values and the control signal.
