Abstract:
A temperature controlling apparatus includes a platen, a fluid source, a chiller, a first conduit and a second conduit. The fluid source supplies a fluid. The chiller is coupled to the fluid source to cool the fluid in the fluid source to a cooling temperature. The first conduit includes a first inlet in communication with the fluid source, a first outlet and a first heater that heats the fluid from the cooling temperature to a first heating temperature. The fluid heated by the first heater is dispensed on the platen through the first outlet. The second conduit includes a second inlet in communication with the fluid source, a second outlet and a second heater that heats the fluid from the cooling temperature to a second heating temperature different from the first heating temperature. The fluid heated by the second heater is dispensed on the platen through the second outlet.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for forming a photoresist layer, comprising:\n forming a first photoresist layer on a first wafer provided on a platen, wherein the platen comprises a plurality of temperature zones being at a first set of process temperatures; performing a first etching process on the first wafer to form a first patterned metal layer; determining a profile variation of the first patterned metal layer with respect to a reference profile; adjusting the first set of process temperatures to a second set of process temperatures according to the profile variation; forming a second photoresist layer on a second wafer provided on the platen with the temperature zones being at the second set of process temperatures respectively.
