See full text

An apparatus for supporting a substrate during semiconductor processing includes a substrate support structure having a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, and a groove recessed into the first surface and defining a peripheral portion of the substrate support structure. The substrate support structure is substantially free of guide pins. The apparatus also includes an annular sealing member coupled to the groove and a plurality of proximity pins projecting to a first height above the first surface. The apparatus further includes a plurality of purge ports passing from the second surface to the first surface, a plurality of vacuum ports passing from the second surface to the first surface, and a heating mechanism coupled to the substrate support structure.
