ABSTRACT:
A system and method for conductively and/or convectively transferring heat away from a workpiece that has been processed by a processing system, such as an ion implantation system. The conductive transfer of heat from the workpiece is effectuated by disposing the workpiece in relatively close proximity with a floor of a loadlock, which is maintained at a relatively cool temperature. The chamber pressure is disposed at a selected pressure by a pressure regulator and a vacuum pressure is applied to the backside of the workpiece closest to draw the workpiece into contact with the chamber floor, thereby effecting heat transfer from the workpiece to the cooling surface.
