Abstract
An electrostatic chuck assembly including a dielectric layer with a top surface to support a workpiece. A cooling channel base disposed below the dielectric layer includes a plurality of fluid conduits disposed beneath the top surface. A chuck assembly further includes a plurality of resistive heater rods spatially distribute across the chuck assembly. In embodiments, 169 heater rods and three heat transfer fluid flow controls are independently controlled during execution of a plasma etch process.
