Abstract:
Apparatus for processing substrates are provided herein. In some embodiments, plasma processing apparatus may include a process chamber having a dielectric lid and an interior processing volume beneath the dielectric lid, a first RF coil to couple RF energy into the processing volume, and an RF shielded lid heater coupled to a top surface of the dielectric lid. The RF shielded lid heater may include an annular member, and a plurality of spokes, wherein each of the plurality of spokes includes one of (a) a first portion that extends downward from the annular and couples the annular member to a second portion of the spoke that extends radially inward, or (b) a first portion that extends radially outward from the annular member.
