Abstract

The invention includes an electrostatic chuck having surface topography and a method of making the same including the steps of providing a first insulative layer and a conductive layer laminated thereto. The first insulative layer is secured to a pedestal. A second insulative layer is deposited over the conductive layer and the first and second insulative layer and the copper layer are laminated together by a mandrel. The mandrel has recesses formed therein to produce an electrostatic chuck having a surface topography including raised features. The mandrel may have an annular groove defined therein for producing a raised gasket defined in the second insulative layer.
