Abstract

Apparatus adapted for use in high vacuum, thin-film deposition system for controlling the temperature of moving substrate holder. Preferably, such temperature control apparatus comprises a fixed, temperature-controlled, thermally conductive member, and liquid heat transfer medium (preferably liquid gallium) for thermally coupling such member to the substrate holder as it moves through a vacuum chamber.
