Abstract

A semiconductor processing system may include a substrate pedestal. The system may also include at least one fluid channel having a delivery portion configured to deliver a temperature controlled fluid to the substrate pedestal, and having a return portion configured to return the temperature controlled fluid from the substrate pedestal. The system may also include a heater coupled with the delivery portion of the at least one fluid channel. The system may also include a temperature measurement device coupled with the return portion of the at least one fluid channel, and the temperature measurement device may be communicatively coupled with the heater.
