Abstract
A substrate processing system includes a substrate support and a power supply circuit. The substrate support is configured to support a substrate, wherein the substrate support comprises one or more heating elements. The power supply circuit includes: a direct current-to-alternating current converter configured to convert a first direct current voltage to a first alternating current voltage, where the direct current-to-alternating current converter comprises at least one switch; and an isolation circuit comprising one of a coupled inductor or a transformer. The one of the coupled inductor or the transformer is configured to convert the first alternating current voltage to and second alternating current voltage and isolate the one or more heating elements from an earth ground. The power supply circuit is configured to provide an output voltage to the one or more heating elements based on the second alternating current voltage.
