Abstract:
Techniques herein include systems and methods for fine control of temperature distribution across a substrate. Such techniques can be used to provide uniform spatial temperature distribution, or a biased spatial temperature distribution to improve plasma processing of substrates and/or correct characteristics of a given substrate. Embodiments include a plasma processing system with temperature control. Temperature control systems herein include a primary heating mechanism to heat a substrate, and a secondary heating mechanism that precisely modifies spatial temperature distribution across a substrate being processed. At least one heating mechanism includes a digital projection system configured to project a pattern of electromagnetic radiation onto or into a substrate, or through the substrate and onto a substrate support assembly. The digital projection system is configured to spatially and dynamically adjust the pattern of electromagnetic radiation and selectively augment heating of the substrate by each projected point location.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the modified critical dimension signature has less differences in critical dimension values as compared to the critical dimension signature of the substrate prior to the plasma etching or deposition process.
