First Claim
Patent Images
1. A substrate support for a substrate processing chamber, the support comprising:
- (a) an electrostatic chuck comprising;
(i) an electrostatic puck comprising a dielectric covering an electrode capable of being charged to energize a process gas;
(ii) a frontside surface to receive a substrate; and
(iii) a base plate having an annular flange;
(b) a spring loaded heat transfer plate contacting the base plate, the heat transfer plate comprising a fluid channel comprising first and second spiral channels; and
(c) a pedestal below the heat transfer plate.

Abstract
A substrate support has an electrostatic chuck comprising an electrostatic puck with a dielectric covering an electrode capable of being charged to energize a process gas. The chuck has a frontside surface to receive a substrate and a base plate having an annular flange. A spring loaded heat transfer plate contacts the base plate, and has a fluid channel comprising first and second spiral channels. A pedestal is below the heat transfer plate.
