Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to chamber liners with a multi-piece design for use in processing chambers. The multi-piece design can have an inner portion and an outer portion. A portion of the inner surface of the outer portion may be designed to be in contact with the outer surface of the inner portion at a single junction point, creating a thermal barrier between the inner portion and outer portion, thus reducing heat transfer from the inner portion and outer portion. The thermal barrier creates higher temperatures at the chamber liner inner surface and therefore leads to shorter heat up times within the chamber. Additionally, the thermal barrier also creates lower temperatures near the base ring and outer surface of the outer ring, thereby protecting the chamber walls and requiring less thermal regulation/dissipation at the chamber walls.
