ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic chuck is provided with an electrode split into two sections. The separate sections are joined through a tapered joint and bonded using epoxy. An insulator electrically separates the two sections and covers the top of the joined sections to form a clamping surface. The geometry of the electrode forms three annular regions, dividing the clamping surface into two equal areas distributed symmetrically. Moreover, the split-ring electrostatic chuck just described is fabricated by forming the two, separate electrodes; coating the separate electrodes with an insulator; joining the electrodes; machining the joint, top surface of the electrodes to form a single, co-planar, flat, smooth surface; and applying an insulator to that top surface.
