Abstract:
Apparatus for controlling the thermal uniformity of a substrate are provided. The thermal uniformity of the substrate may be controlled to be more uniform or the thermal uniformity of the substrate may be controlled to be non-uniform in a desired pattern. In some embodiments, an apparatus for controlling the thermal uniformity of a substrate includes: a substrate support having a support surface to support a substrate thereon; and a flow path disposed within the substrate support to flow a heat transfer fluid beneath the support surface, wherein the flow path comprises a first portion and a second portion, each portion having a substantially equivalent axial length, wherein the first portion is spaced about 2 mm to about 10 mm from the second portion, and wherein the first portion provides a flow of heat transfer fluid in a direction opposite a flow of heat transfer fluid of the second portion.
