Abstract

An arrangement for improved thermal and/or electrical coupling between parts disposed in electronic device processing equipment is provided. In an illustrated embodiment, an improved coupling between a chamber liner and a chamber wall is provided which can be utilized in semiconductor processing equipment. The arrangement includes a compressible coupling or gasket which is compressed between a wedge ring and the chamber wall. The chamber liner is coupled to the wedge ring, so that the chamber liner is coupled to the chamber wall by way of the wedge ring and compressible coupling.
