ABSTRACT:
An erosion resistant electrostatic chuck 20 for holding a substrate 45 having a peripheral edge 50, in an erosive environment, comprises an electrostatic member 25 including (i) an electrode 30, and (ii) an insulator 35 covering the electrode. A barrier 55 is circumferentially disposed about the electrostatic member 25. The barrier 55 comprises a first contact surface 60 capable of being pressed against the peripheral edge 50 of the substrate 45 to form a seal around the substrate 45 to reduce exposure of the electrostatic member 25 of the chuck 20 to the erosive environment.
