Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention generally provides an apparatus that reduces backside sputtering of the substrate in a pre-clean chamber and other etch chambers. The invention also provides an apparatus that reduces flaking of material from the film formed on the surfaces of the process kit and extends the specified lifetime of a process kit. One aspect of the invention provides an apparatus for supporting a substrate, comprising a support pedestal contacting a central portion of the substrate and an insulator surrounding the support pedestal, the insulator having a beveled portion extending from a circumferential edge of the substrate.
