Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate carrier adapted to use in a processing system includes an electrode assembly and a support base. The electrode assembly is configured to generate an electrostatic chucking force for securing a substrate to the substrate carrier. The support base has a heating/cooling reservoir formed therein. The electrode assembly and the support base form an unitary body configured for transport within a processing system. A quick disconnect is coupled to the body and configured to trap a heat regulating medium in the reservoir heating/cooling reservoir when the body is decoupled from a source of heat regulating medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A substrate carrier adapted to use in a processing system, the substrate carrier comprising: a support base; an electrode assembly having interleaved electrode fingers formed therein disposed on the support base; and a connector coupled to the support base configured to electrically disconnect a power source to the electrode assembly, the support base and the electrode assembly comprising a unitary body adapted to be transported within a processing sy…
