US Patent:
20080197125, Aug 21, 2008
Filed:
Feb 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/675856
Inventors:
ANQING CUI - Sunnyvale CA, US
Sean M. Seutter - San Jose CA, US
Jacob W. Grayson - Santa Clara CA, US
R. Suryanarayanan Iyer - St. Paul MN, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H05B 3/10
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
219548, 702 99
Abstract:
Embodiments of substrate heating methods and apparatus are provided herein. In one embodiment, a substrate heater is provided including a heater plate having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, a recess formed in the top surface, the recess having a feature having an upper surface for supporting a substrate, wherein the depth from a bottom surface of the recess to the upper surface of the feature is at least 5 mils. One or more pads may be disposed in the recess for supporting a substrate. The heater plate may have a thickness of about 19 mm. One or more indentations may be formed in the bottom surface of the recess for altering the rate of heat transfer to a portion of a substrate disposed above the indentation during processing. The heater plate may be utilized in a process chamber for performing heat-assisted processes.
