  • Publication number: 20250319563
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to fluid circuit for the use in a pre-cleaning chamber. In one embodiment, a fluid circuit for a substrate support assembly includes a substrate support. The substrate support includes an inner zone and an outer zone. The inner zone includes one or more inner channels and the outer zone includes one or more outer channels. The fluid circuit further includes, a first cooling channel fluidly coupled to the inner zone and a second cooling channel fluidly coupled to the outer zone. The fluid circuit further includes, a heater and one or more valves operable to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the one or more valves fluidly couple the first cooling channel to the heater. In the second state, the one or more valves fluidly couple the second cooling channel to the heater.
