SCOPE

HOT CHUCK HEATER 300mm needed to satisfy the following criteria:

  • Temperature uniformity +/- 1%
  • 50°C - 450°C Temperature range
  • Surface finish of 2-3 Ra μin
  • Hard coat Anodize
  • 6061 T6 Aluminum
  • Be able to heat ceramic top plate
  • 20 Meg-ohm isolation at 1000 VDC
  • Hi-pot 2E + 1K at 3 mA

OUTCOME

BCE designed a unit using proprietary internal element patterns, notches, and thermocouple holes, as well as adding additional manufacturing steps to provide the 2-3 Ra μin finish. Vacuum integrity for the customer has been greatly increased as well as contact with the ceramic workpiece and temperature uniformity.
