Abstract

A process for improving uniformity across the surface of a substrate during a plasma process such as plasma etching. A conductive plane is formed at the back surface of the substrate. A plasma process is then performed to the front surface of the substrate. The conductive plane may then be removed upon completion of the plasma process and before final processing steps.
