摘要 |
A chuck includes a number of gas openings positioned to provide a gas flow to a backside of a wafer secured to the chuck. The chuck also includes a number of exhaust openings positioned to exhaust the gas at a distance from a topside edge of the wafer such that adverse thermal effects on the edge are reduced to a predetermined level. |
