An electrostatic chuck comprises a main body with a mounting surface and
an opposed surface facing away from the mounting surface. At least one
chucking electrode extends along the mounting surface of the main body
and a first heater layer extends along the opposed surface of the main
body. The electrostatic chuck can be used to heat and electrostatic ally
attract a work piece, such as a wafer, to a work piece support surface
during various processing techniques.
