A bipolar electrostatic chuck refurbishing process in accordance with an aspect of the present invention does not require physical separation of the two electrodes of the electrostatic chuck. One aspect of the present invention is drawn to method of treating a bipolar electrostatic chuck having a front surface and a back surface and comprising a first electrode disposed at the front surface, a second electrode at the front surface and an anodized layer disposed on the front surface, the first electrode and the second electrode. The method comprises measuring a first parameter of the electrostatic chuck, discarding the electrostatic chuck if the first measured parameter is not within a first predetermined range, cleaning the electrostatic chuck if the first measured parameter is within the first predetermined range, sealing gaps between the first electrode and the second electrode at the front surface with a sealant, without displacing the first electrode relative to the second electrode, eliminating the anodized layer; and disposing a new anodized layer onto the front surface, the first electrode and the second electrode. |
