More Information
Summary:An apparatus for removing particles from a substrate contact surface includes parallel electrodes disposed beneath the substrate contact surface; and an alternating current (AC) power supply having a first AC terminal connected to a first parallel electrode and a second AC terminal connected to a second parallel electrode adjacent to the first parallel electrode, wherein an AC output of the first AC terminal has a different phase than an AC output of the second AC terminal. A method of removing particles from a substrate contact surface includes supplying a first alternating current (AC) to a first one of parallel electrodes disposed beneath the substrate contact surface; and supplying a second alternating current to a second one of the parallel electrodes disposed adjacent to the first parallel electrode; wherein the first alternating current has a different phase than the second alternating current.
