In certain embodiments, methods and systems incorporate modulating a glass carrier substrate temperature during a plasma etch process to chuck and dechuck the carrier at first temperatures elevated relative to second temperatures utilized during plasma etching. In embodiments, one or more of plasma heat, lamp heat, resistive heat, and fluid heat transfer are controlled to modulate the carrier substrate temperature between chucking temperatures and process temperatures with each run of the plasma etch process.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck in a reactor chamber has a cathode electrode insulated from ground, a chucking electrode insulated from the cathode electrode and a dielectric layer overlying the chucking electrode that provides a workpiece support surface. A D.C. chucking voltage supply is coupled to the chucking electrode. An RF power generator is coupled to the cathode electrode. A voltage sensing apparatus is coupled to the chucking electrode and to the cathode electrode to monitor the voltage difference between them during discharge after removal of RF and DC power at the conclusion of processing. The reactor includes a controller programmed to raise the lift pins during electrode discharge as soon as the voltage sensing apparatus detects equal voltages simultaneously on the chucking and cathode electrodes.
