Abstract

Disclosed herein are approaches for controlling temperature uniformity of a wafer using a wafer pedestal shielding element. In one approach, a wafer support assembly may include a pedestal comprising a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein the first main side is operable to receive a wafer. The wafer support assembly may further include a shielding element adjacent the second main side of the pedestal, the shielding element extending around an outer edge of the pedestal.
