Abstract: A polishing pad includes a polishing layer stack that has a polishing surface, a bottom surface, and an aperture from the polishing surface to the bottom surface. The polishing layer stack includes a polishing layer that has the polishing surface. A fluid-impermeable layer spans the aperture and the polishing pad. A first adhesive layer of a first adhesive material is in contact with and secures the bottom surface of the polishing layer to the fluid-impermeable layer. The first adhesive layer spans the aperture and the polishing pad. The light-transmitting body is positioned in the aperture and has a lower surface in contact with, is secured to the first adhesive layer, and is spaced apart from a side-wall of the aperture by a gap. An adhesive sealant of a different second material is disposed in and laterally fills the gap.

Abstract: Methods for fabricating and refurbishing an assembly are disclosed herein. The method begins by applying an adhesive layer onto a first substrate. A second substrate is placed onto the adhesive layer, thereby securing the two substrates together, the adhesive layer bounding at least one side of a channel that extends laterally between the substrates to an exterior of the assembly. And, the substrates and the adhesive layer are subjected to a bonding procedure and allowing outgassing of volatiles from the adhesive layer to escape from between the substrates through the channel, wherein the substrates bonded by the adhesive layer form a component for a semiconductor vacuum processing chamber.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrostatic chuck includes bonding an electrostatic puck to a metal base plate, wherein the electrostatic puck has an electrode embedded in the electrostatic puck. The method further includes subsequently polishing a surface of the electrostatic puck to a flatness of below 10 microns and an average surface roughness of approximately 2-6 micro-inches. The method further includes subsequently forming surface features on a surface of the electrostatic puck, the surface features comprising mesas and a sealing band around a perimeter of the electrostatic puck.

Abstract: An indication that an electrostatic chuck has a gas leakage rate that exceeds a leakage threshold is received. A determination is made as to whether a first polishing procedure that polishes surface features on a surface of the electrostatic chuck without removing the surface features would reduce a thickness of the surface features to below a thickness threshold. The electrostatic chuck is polished using the first polishing procedure responsive to determining that the first polishing procedure would not reduce the thickness of the surface features to below the thickness threshold. Responsive to determining that the first polishing procedure would reduce the thickness of the surface features to below the thickness threshold, a second polishing procedure that removes the surface features from the surface of the electrostatic chuck is performed. After the second polishing procedure, new surface features are formed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck.
