AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing electrostatic chucks, the adhesion between the dielectric substrate and the conductive layer is insufficient, especially when the thickness of the conductive layer is different, which can easily lead to problems such as decreased adhesion and narrowing of the conductive path.

Method used

Two conductive layers are set inside the dielectric substrate. One conductive layer (heater) is thicker and the other conductive layer (adsorption electrode) is thinner. Small ceramic particles are used inside the thicker conductive layer to ensure a match between 50% and 150% of the particle size of the ceramic particles inside the thinner conductive layer, thereby enhancing adhesion.

Benefits of technology

By adjusting the particle size of the ceramic particles and the thickness difference of the conductive layer, the adhesion between the dielectric substrate and the conductive layer is significantly improved, avoiding the problems of narrowing of the conductive path and resistance deviation from the design value, thus ensuring the effective operation of the electrostatic chuck.

Abstract

An electrostatic chuck is provided that ensures adhesion between a dielectric substrate and a conductive layer. The electrostatic chuck (10) comprises: a dielectric substrate (100) having a placement surface (110); a heater (140) disposed inside the dielectric substrate (100); and an adsorption electrode (130) disposed inside the dielectric substrate (100) at a position closer to the surface (110) than the heater (140). Both the heater (140) and the adsorption electrode (130) are components in which a plurality of ceramic particles CP are disposed inside the conductor. The heater (140) is thicker than the adsorption electrode (130). In this electrostatic chuck (10), the average particle size of the ceramic particles CP disposed inside the heater (140) is 50% or more and 150% or less of the average particle size of the ceramic particles CP disposed inside the adsorption electrode (130).
