Abstract:
A method of removing an epoxy band from an electrostatic chuck includes securing the electrostatic chuck in a servicing fixture, applying a thermal source to the epoxy band to breakdown a plurality of adhesive bonds securing the epoxy band to the electrostatic chuck, forming a hole in the epoxy band and pulling the epoxy band from the electrostatic chuck. A system for removing an epoxy band from an electrostatic chuck is also described.

Abstract:
A method is provided for treating a bipolar ESC having a front surface and a back surface, the front surface including an anodized layer. The method includes eliminating the anodized layer, disposing a new anodized layer onto the front surface, and treating the new anodized layer with water to seal the new anodized layer.
Abstract:
A method of wet cleaning an aluminum part having bare aluminum surfaces and anodized aluminum surfaces. The method includes CO2 dry ice blasting the surfaces of the aluminum part at approximately 35 to approximately 45 psi, masking the aluminum part to conceal the bare aluminum surfaces, soaking the dry ice blasted and masked aluminum part in deionized water at or above approximately 60° C., scrubbing the aluminum part with an abrasive pad and deionized water after completion of the soaking in deionized water, and repeating the soaking and scrubbing in the recited order at least three additional times.
