Connections between laminated heater and heater voltage inputs

Abstract:

A substrate support for a substrate processing system includes a plurality of heating zones, a baseplate, a heating layer arranged on the baseplate, a ceramic layer arranged on the heating layer, and wiring provided through the baseplate, the heating layer, and into the ceramic layer in a first zone of the plurality of heating zones. An electrical connection is routed from the wiring in the first zone, across the ceramic layer to a second zone of the plurality of heating zones, and to a heating element in the heating layer in the second zone.
