Abstract

A wafer processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes: a heating plate through which vacuum ports are formed; a plurality of temperature sensors; a heating device configured to heat the heating plate; first and second power supplies; temperature controllers to generate first and second feedback temperature control signals for controlling power output power supplies based on measurement values generated by the temperature sensors; an electronic pressure regulator configured to provide vacuum pressure for fixing a wafer to the plurality of vacuum ports; and a wafer chucking controller configured to control the electronic pressure regulator, and generate a feedback pressure control signal for controlling the electronic pressure regulator based on the first and second feedback temperature control signals.
