  • Publication number: 20120118541
    Abstract: A device for controlling the temperature of substrates in a substrate-treatment system, in which a substrate can be guided in the longitudinal extension of the substrate-treatment system in a substrate transport plane within a vacuum chamber past a treatment device, solves the problem of dynamically shaping a dynamic change of the thermal insulation to control the heat transfer in the substrate and thereby, reduce, in particular, thermal inertias by providing a heat-absorbing cooler side of the substrate transport plane. The heat-absorbing cooler can be shielded, at least partially from the substrate transport plane, using an insulation member.
