Zusammenfassung:A temperature control system, a wafer chuck, a thermal module for use with the chuck, and an apparatus for use in semiconductor manufacture are disclosed herein. The temperature control system includes: a target having a temperature, a fluid circulation loop coupled to the target for controlling the temperature of the target, a heating heat exchanger coupled to the fluid circulation loop for selectively providing heat to the fluid circulation loop, a cooling heat exchanger coupled to the fluid circulation loop for selectively providing cooling to the fluid circulation loop and a plurality of thermal electric elements carried by the target for selectively providing heating or cooling to the target. The heating heat exchanger and cooling heat exchanger provide gross control of the temperature of the target, and the plurality of thermal electric elements provide fine control of the temperature of the target.
