A chamber door, such as an etch chamber door may be heated during etch processing to, e.g., prevent etching by-products from adhering to the etch chamber door. Such heating of the etch chamber door, however, can impact the processing parameters and result in non-uniform processing, such as non-uniform etching characteristics across a semiconductor wafer, for instance. An insulator, such as an insulating film covering surfaces of the heated door, can reduce or eliminate transmission of heat from the door to a work piece such as a semiconductor wafer and this reduce or eliminate the non-uniformity of the process results.
