Abstract
Heater plates (HPs) are main modules in the wafer thermal processing. The robustness of the HPs is critical to improve the reliability of the wafer thermal processing. However, failures of the packaged power terminals (PPTs) and the HPs frequently occur due to harsh thermal processing conditions. Therefore, thermal performances of the PPTs and the HPs should be carefully explored.

The finite element analysis (FEA) electrical-thermal model and the FEA thermal model were developed for the PPTs and the HPs, respectively, and verified by measurements. Various parametric influences on the thermal performance of the PPT were investigated by the FEA electrical-thermal models. In addition, the FEA thermal models explored influences of the heating element width, the gap between adjacent heating elements, and the heating zone gap on the thermal performances of the HPs including their effects on the axial temperature profiles of the upper surfaces of the HPs.

The study for PPTs has found a 10K higher temperature of the heating element compared with the substrate for the reference conditions of the PPTs. The parametric studies of the PPT show that the substrate thickness is a dominant parameter affecting the thermal performance of the PPT. It is seen that the axial temperature difference of the heating element decreases by 61% with the increase of the substrate thickness from 0.5mm to 5mm. The results show that associated with the increase of the heating element area, the solder contact area, and the solder thickness, the value of the maximum temperature of the heating element is slightly reduced by nearly 1%. However, it is seen that the value of the axial temperature difference of heating element is substantially reduced by about 10%. The parametric study for the HPs has found that the effect of the heating element width on the heater performance is negligible. The optimum design of the heating zone and the heating element gap could considerably alleviate the axial temperature difference of the upper surface of the HP by 56% compared with the baseline condition.
