An edge ring configured to surround an outer periphery of a substrate support in a plasma processing chamber wherein plasma is generated and used to process a substrate is disclosed, the substrate support comprising a base plate, a top plate, an elastomer seal assembly between the base plate and the top plate, and an elastomer seal configured to surround the elastomer seal assembly. The edge ring includes an upper inner surface having an edge step directed towards an interior portion of the edge ring and arranged to extend from an outer periphery of a top surface of the top plate to an outer periphery of an upper surface of the base plate, a lower inner surface, an outer surface, a lower surface extending from the lower inner surface to the outer surface, and a top surface extending from the outer surface to the upper inner surface. |
