METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE PROFILE CONTROL

摘要

A method and system are provided for rapid temperature profile control of the upper surface of a substrate holder providing a specified uniformity or specified non-uniformity of the temperature profile on that surface. The substrate holder includes a first fluid channel positioned in a first thermal zone, utilizing a heat transfer fluid at a specified flow rate and at a specified temperature, to control the temperature profile of the first thermal zone of the surface of the substrate holder. A second fluid channel positioned in a second thermal zone of the substrate holder, utilizing a heat transfer fluid at a specified flow rate and at a specified temperature, is configured to control the temperature profile of the second thermal zone of the surface of the substrate holder.
