Background This section provides merely background information related to the present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art. Heaters are commonly used in wafer processing to regulate the wall temperature of the process chamber, but their primary purpose is to heat. If a plasma is generated within the process chamber, additional heat will be generated within the process chamber. At this time, the wall temperature is higher than the preset temperature due to the heat conducted by the plasma. To control the rising wall temperature, the heater power is turned off or the power level of the heater is lowered to control the wall temperature. However, if the speed of controlling the heater is too slow at this time, various problems may occur, such as poor thickness uniformity of the wafer or excessive thickness, due to the rise of the chamber wall temperature.
