A method is provided and includes: determining a temperature distribution pattern across a substrate or a support plate of a substrate support; determining, based on the temperature distribution pattern, a number of masks to apply to a top surface of the support plate, where the number of masks is greater than or equal to two; and determining patterns of the masks based on the temperature distribution pattern; and applying the masks over the top surface. The method further includes: performing a first machining process to remove a portion of the support plate unprotected by the masks to form first mesas and first recessed areas between the first mesas; removing a first mask from the support plate; performing a second machining process to form second recessed areas and at least one of second mesas or a first seal band area; and removing a second mask from the support plate.
