    Abstract: Semiconductor processing systems are described, which may include a substrate support assembly having a substrate support surface. Exemplary substrate support assemblies may include a ceramic heater defining the substrate support surface. The assemblies may include a ground plate on which the ceramic heater is seated. The assemblies may include a stem with which the ground plate is coupled. The assemblies may include an electrode embedded within the ceramic heater at a depth from the substrate support surface. The chambers or systems may also include an RF match configured to provide an AC current and an RF power through the stem to the electrode. The RF match may be coupled with the substrate support assembly along the stem. The substrate support assembly and RF match may be vertically translatable within the semiconductor processing system.

    Abstract: A workpiece holder includes a puck, first and second heating devices in thermal communication with respective inner and outer portions of the puck, and a thermal sink in thermal communication with the puck. The first and second heating devices are independently controllable, and the first and second heating devices are in greater thermal communication with the puck, than thermal communication of the thermal sink with the puck. A method of controlling temperature distribution of a workpiece includes flowing a heat exchange fluid through a thermal sink to establish a reference temperature to a puck, raising temperatures of radially inner and outer portions of the puck to first and second temperatures greater than the reference temperature, by activating respective first and second heating devices disposed in thermal communication with the radially inner and outer portions of the puck, and placing the workpiece on the puck.

    Abstract: A workpiece holder includes a puck having a cylindrical axis, a radius about the cylindrical axis, and a thickness. At least a top surface of the puck is substantially planar, and the puck defines one or more thermal breaks. Each thermal break is a radial recess that intersects at least one of the top surface and a bottom surface of the cylindrical puck. The radial recess has a thermal break depth that extends through at least half of the puck thickness, and a thermal break radius that is at least one-half of the puck radius. A method of processing a wafer includes processing the wafer with a first process that provides a first center-to-edge process variation, and subsequently, processing the wafer with a second process that provides a second center-to-edge process variation that substantially compensates for the first center-to-edge process variation.
