Abstract

See full text

The present invention discloses a system and method for relieving stresses from a layer deposited on the surface of a functional element used inside a reaction chamber. The system includes a heater which is integrated with the functional element. The heater heats the functional element to a temperature above the wafer processing temperature and independent of the wafer processing temperature in the reaction chamber. The independent heating of the reaction chamber causes cracking of the deposited layer. This relieves the stresses that are developed in the deposited layer and consequently, the functional element is safeguarded from failure.
