Abstract

A heater assembly configured to elevate a temperature of a processing element in a chemical treatment system is described. The heater assembly may be configured to uniformly heat a large area processing element, such as a processing element that spans a plurality of substrates. Additionally, for example, the heater assembly may be configured to elevate a temperature of an upper assembly, a gas injection assembly, a substrate holder, a chamber wall, or any combination of two or more thereof.
