PLATEN TO CONTROL CHARGE ACCUMULATION

摘要

An embossed platen to control charge accumulation includes a dielectric layer, a plurality of embossments on a surface of the dielectric layer to support a workpiece, each of a first plurality of the plurality of embossments having a conductive portion to contact a backside of the workpiece when the workpiece is in a clamped position, and a conductor to electrically couple the conductive portion of the first plurality of embossments to ground. An ion implanter having such an embossed platen is also provided.
