Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and computer programs are presented for controlling the temperature of a window in a semiconductor manufacturing chamber. One apparatus includes an air amplifier, a plenum, a heater, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The air amplifier is coupled to pressurized gas and generates, when activated, a flow of air. The air amplifier is also coupled to the plenum and the heater. The plenum receives the flow of air and distributes the flow of air over a window of the plasma chamber. When the heater is activated, the flow of air is heated during processing, and when the heater is not activated, the flow of air cools the window. The temperature sensor is situated about the window of the plasma chamber, and the controller is defined to activate both the air amplifier and the heater based on a temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
