ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic chuck 20 for holding a substrate 12 comprises a dielectric 70 having a receiving surface 75 for receiving the substrate thereon. The dielectric 70 comprises a charging electrode 80 for generating electrostatic charge for electrostatically holding the substrate 12 to the receiving surface 75, and a discharge electrode 85 electrically isolated from the charging electrode for removing electrostatic charge accumulated in the chuck 20.
