    Abstract: A substrate support includes a disc body with upper and lower surfaces spaced apart by a thickness. The upper surface has a circular concavity extending about a rotation axis, an annular ledge portion radially outward of the concavity extending circumferentially about the concavity, and an annular rim portion radially outward of the ledge portion extending circumferentially about the ledge portion. The concavity has a circular perforated portion and an annular unperforated portion. The perforated portion extends about the rotation axis and defines two or more perforations to issue an etchant into a cavity defined between the concavity and a backside of a substrate seated on the substrate support. The unperforated portion is radially outward of the perforated portion and extends circumferentially about the perforated portion to limit etching of the backside of the substrate by the etchant. Semiconductor processing systems and material layer deposition methods are also described.

    Abstract: A substrate support includes a disc body with an upper surface and an opposite lower surface arranged along a rotation axis. The upper surface has a circular concave portion extending about the rotation axis, an annular ledge portion extending circumferentially about the concave portion, and an annular rim portion extending circumferentially about the ledge portion connecting to the concave portion of the disc body by the ledge portion of the disc body. The ledge portion slopes downward radially outward from the rotation axis to seat a substrate on the disc body such that a beveled edge of the substrate is cantilevered above the ledge portion of the upper surface of the disc body. Substrate support assemblies, semiconductor processing systems, and film deposition methods are also described.
