Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a holding device for holding an object. [Background technology]

[0002] Electrostatic chucks, for example, are used as holding devices for holding objects such as wafers during semiconductor manufacturing. The electrostatic chuck includes a plate-shaped member on which the object is placed, a base member supporting the plate-shaped member, and a joint that joins the plate-shaped member to the base member. When an electrostatic chuck is used in a high-temperature process, for example, at 250°C or higher, the joint formed with a silicone adhesive or the like can be easily degraded by heat. To address this issue, a technology has been proposed in which the joint is made into two layers, with the joint layer (first joint layer) placed on the plate-shaped member side having higher thermal insulation properties than the other joint layer (second joint layer), thereby suppressing heat dissipation from the plate-shaped member to the second joint layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-068219 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Document 1, the first bonding layer contains fibers made of at least one of metal and inorganic material. In the technology described in Patent Document 1, the first bonding layer is a fiber sheet formed into a sheet shape by laminating and pressing fibers, so the bonding between the first bonding layer and the plate-like member is insufficient, and there is a possibility that the first bonding layer may break.

[0005] Such a problem is not limited to electrostatic chucks, but is a common problem among holding devices such as heater devices, susceptors, and mounting tables for vacuum devices such as CVD (chemical vapor deposition), PVD (physical vapor deposition), and PLD (pulsed laser deposition).

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a technology for suppressing breakage of a fiber-containing layer in a holding device having a fiber-containing layer formed from at least one of metal and inorganic materials. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can be realized in the following forms.

[0008] (1) According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a holding device for holding an object, the holding device including: a plate-shaped plate-like portion made primarily of ceramic; a plate-shaped inorganic substrate bonded to the plate-like portion; a plate-shaped base portion disposed on the opposite side of the inorganic substrate from the plate-like portion; and a joining portion disposed between the inorganic substrate and the base portion and joining the inorganic substrate to the base portion, the inorganic substrate including a fiber portion formed into a cloth-like shape from a plurality of fibers made of at least one of metal and inorganic material, and an inorganic binder portion that is a cured product of an inorganic binder having an inorganic resin as a main component that is bonded to the plate-like portion and inorganic particles having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the inorganic resin.

[0009] According to this configuration, since the holding device has an inorganic substrate, the inorganic substrate functions as a heat insulating plate, suppressing heat dissipation from the plate-shaped portion to the joint, thereby suppressing thermal deterioration of the joint. Since the inorganic substrate has an inorganic binder portion, peeling between the plate-shaped portion and the inorganic substrate can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the inorganic binder portion contains inorganic particles with a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the inorganic resin, thermal expansion of the inorganic binder portion can be suppressed compared to when the inorganic particles are not present, and the difference in thermal expansion between the fiber portion and the inorganic binder portion can be reduced, thereby suppressing internal cracking of the inorganic substrate. As a result, breakage of the inorganic substrate can be suppressed.

[0010] (2) In the holding device of the above embodiment, the inorganic material contained in the inorganic resin may be a silicon-based compound. In this case, the plate-like portion and the inorganic substrate are bonded together by dehydration condensation between hydroxyl groups (OH groups) on the surface of the plate-like portion and residual silanol groups of the silicon-based compound constituting the inorganic substrate, or by intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding, thereby further strengthening the bond between the plate-like portion and the inorganic substrate.

[0011] (3) In the holding device of the above embodiment, the inorganic particles may also be present between the fibers of the fiber portion. In this case, since the inorganic fine particles are present between the fibers, the thermal expansion of the binder portion between the fibers can be suppressed, thereby reducing the difference in thermal expansion between the fiber portion and the inorganic binder portion in that portion and suppressing cracks in the binder portion between the fibers.

[0012] (4) In the holding device of the above embodiment, the plate-like portion and the inorganic substrate may have different thermal expansion coefficients. If the plate-like portion and the inorganic substrate have different thermal expansion coefficients, stress is likely to occur in the inorganic substrate as the temperature of the holding device changes, but as described above, breakage of the inorganic substrate can be suppressed.

[0013] The present invention can be realized in various forms, for example, in the form of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus including a holding device, a manufacturing method for a holding device, a method for forming an inorganic substrate, and the like. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically illustrating the external configuration of an electrostatic chuck 10 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating the XZ cross-sectional configuration of the electrostatic chuck 10. In FIGS. 1 and 2, mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes are shown to identify directions. In FIG. 2, the positive Y-axis direction is the direction toward the back of the page. For convenience, in this specification, the positive Z-axis direction is referred to as the upward direction and the negative Z-axis direction is referred to as the downward direction, but the electrostatic chuck 10 may actually be installed in an orientation different from these orientations. The electrostatic chuck 10 according to this embodiment is also referred to as a "holding device."

[0016] The electrostatic chuck 10 is a device that attracts and holds an object (e.g., a wafer W) by electrostatic attraction, and is used, for example, to fix the wafer W in a vacuum chamber of a semiconductor manufacturing device. The electrostatic chuck 10 includes a plate-shaped portion 100 and a base portion 200 that are arranged in a vertical direction (Z-axis direction), an inorganic substrate 300 that is arranged between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the base portion 200 and functions as a heat insulating material, and a joining portion 400 that joins the inorganic substrate 300 and the base portion 200.

[0017] The plate-shaped portion 100 is a plate-shaped member having a first surface S1 having a substantially circular, flat shape (FIG. 1). In this embodiment, the first surface S1 of the plate-shaped portion 100 functions as a mounting surface on which a wafer W is placed. The plate-shaped portion 100 is a dense body whose main component is ceramics known as fine ceramics or new ceramics (e.g., aluminum nitride, alumina, yttria, silicon carbide, etc.). In this specification, when a specific component is "the main component" or "the main material that forms" it means that the content of the specific component is 50% by volume or more.

[0018] The diameter of the first surface S1 of the plate-shaped portion 100 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, approximately 50 mm to 500 mm (usually approximately 200 mm to 350 mm). The thickness of the plate-shaped portion 100 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less. This is because it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks, internal gaps, voids, etc. in the plate-shaped portion 100. In this specification, when a numerical range is indicated using "to" it is assumed that the range includes both the lower limit and the upper limit unless otherwise specified. For example, the expression "10 to 20" includes both the lower limit of "10" and the upper limit of "20". In other words, "10 to 20" has the same meaning as "10 or more and 20 or less".

[0019] An attraction electrode 130 (FIG. 2) made of a conductive material (e.g., tungsten, molybdenum, etc.) is disposed inside the plate-shaped portion 100. The shape of the attraction electrode 130 as viewed in the Z-axis direction is, for example, substantially circular. When a voltage is applied to the attraction electrode 130 from a power source (not shown), an electrostatic attraction force is generated, and the wafer W is attracted and fixed to the first surface S1 of the plate-shaped portion 100 by this electrostatic attraction force.

[0020] A heater may be disposed inside the plate-shaped portion 100 below the chucking electrode 130 (on the negative Z-axis side). The heater may be configured as a metallized layer made of tungsten, molybdenum, or the like. The heater may have a spiral or disk shape when viewed in the Z-axis direction, for example.

[0021] The base portion 200 is a plate-like member having a substantially circular, flat shape and a larger diameter than the plate-like portion 100. The base portion 200 may contain at least one metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, magnesium, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, and nickel. Among the above-mentioned metals, molybdenum, titanium, and tungsten have relatively small thermal expansion coefficients. Therefore, using at least one of these metals to form the base portion 200 is desirable because it minimizes the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the base portion 200 and the plate-like portion 100. Note that, in this specification, the term "thermal expansion coefficient" refers to the "linear expansion coefficient." Furthermore, magnesium has a relatively small Young's modulus. Therefore, using magnesium to form the base portion 200 is desirable because it reduces thermal stress generated in the base portion 200. Furthermore, aluminum has a relatively high thermal conductivity, is easy to process, and is inexpensive. Therefore, using aluminum to form the base portion 200 is desirable because it enhances the cooling efficiency of the base portion 200 for the plate-like portion 100 and the wafer W and reduces the manufacturing cost of the electrostatic chuck 10. From the viewpoint of suppressing manufacturing costs while increasing the cooling efficiency of the base portion 200, it is desirable that the base portion 200 contain a high metal content, and it is desirable that the base portion 200 be mainly composed of metal. For example, it is desirable that the base portion 200 contain 90 mass % or more of aluminum, which is highly versatile (for example, be made of an aluminum alloy such as A6061 or A5052). However, the base portion 200 may also contain components other than metal, such as ceramic. The diameter of the base portion 200 is, for example, approximately 220 mm to 550 mm (usually 220 mm to 350 mm), and the thickness of the base portion 200 is, for example, approximately 20 mm to 40 mm.

[0022] A coolant flow path 210 ( FIG. 2 ) is formed inside the base portion 200. When a wafer W held on the plate-shaped portion 100 of the electrostatic chuck 10 is processed using plasma, heat is input from the plasma to the wafer W, causing the temperature of the wafer W to rise. When a coolant (e.g., a fluorine-based inert liquid or water) flows through the coolant flow path 210 formed in the base portion 200, the base portion 200 is cooled. The plate-shaped portion 100 is cooled by heat transfer between the base portion 200 and the plate-shaped portion 100 via the bonding portion 400 and the inorganic substrate 300, and the wafer W held on the first surface S1 of the plate-shaped portion 100 is cooled. This allows temperature control of the wafer W. In other embodiments, the base portion may not have a coolant flow path formed therein, and may be cooled from the outside.

[0023] The inorganic substrate 300 is a substantially circular, flat plate-like member having the same diameter as the first surface S1 of the plate-like portion 100, and functions as a heat insulating material. The thickness of the inorganic substrate 300 is not particularly limited, but is preferably, for example, 0.15 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. The thermal expansion coefficient of the inorganic substrate 300 is not particularly limited, but may be different from that of the plate-like portion 100.

[0024] The thermal expansion coefficient can be measured by the following method. A known thermal expansion coefficient measurement device (e.g., Rigaku Corporation TMA8311) can be used. A sample is cut to a size of 18 mm long, 3 mm wide, and 4 mm thick. A compressive load of 100 mN is applied in the longitudinal direction, and the sample is heated to 400°C at a rate of 10°C / min in a nitrogen atmosphere with a nitrogen flow rate of 100 ml / min, while the change in length in the longitudinal direction is measured. The thermal expansion coefficient between 30°C and 300°C can be measured by subtracting the length at 30°C from the length at 300°C and dividing the result by the temperature difference of 270°C.

[0025] The thermal conductivity of the inorganic material constituting the inorganic substrate 300 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.8 W / mK or less, and more preferably 0.9 W / mK or less. Here, the thermal conductivity is the thermal conductivity at room temperature (20°C). The thermal conductivity can be calculated from the thermal diffusivity using the laser flash method. The density used in the calculation is measured using the Archimedes method. The sample may be molded independently or cut from a holding device, and the results will be the same. The inorganic substrate 300 will be described in detail later.

[0026] The bonding portion 400 is a substantially circular, flat, plate-like member having the same diameter as the inorganic substrate 300, and bonds the inorganic substrate 300 to the base portion 200. The bonding portion 400 is formed from an adhesive, and for example, an adhesive containing an organic substance such as acrylic or polyimide, or silicone as a main component can be used.

[0027] Silicone adhesives can be prepared, for example, by mixing polydimethylsiloxane with a crosslinking agent, a silane coupling agent, a curing catalyst, and a filler. The filler can be at least one of alumina, silica, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, carbon black, graphite, carbon nanotubes, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, iron oxide, and magnesium oxide. Sheet- or varnish-type silicone adhesives can be used to bond the inorganic substrate 300 and the base portion 200. When used in sheet form, the sheet-type silicone adhesive is cut to a predetermined shape and then attached to the inorganic substrate 300 integrated with the plate-like portion 100 and the base portion 200 in a vacuum. Furthermore, the inorganic substrate 300 integrated with the plate-like portion 100 and the base portion 200 can be bonded to each other by bonding them together in a vacuum via the sheet-type silicone adhesive and curing at a temperature of 100°C or higher. When a varnish-like silicone adhesive is used, it can be applied to the base portion 200 by screen printing, bonded to the inorganic substrate 300 integrated with the plate-like portion 100 in a vacuum, and cured at a temperature of 100° C. or higher, thereby bonding the inorganic substrate 300 to the base portion 200. Here, a resin wall may be formed on the base portion 200 to prevent the adhesive from flowing out.

[0028] The thickness of the joint 400 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 200 μm to 800 μm. A thinner joint 400 is better in terms of heat dissipation, but if it is too thin, it will not be possible to alleviate the difference in thermal expansion between the plate-like portion 100 and the base portion 200. If the thickness of the joint 400 is within the above range, it will be possible to properly dissipate heat and also to alleviate the difference in thermal expansion between the plate-like portion 100 and the base portion 200.

[0029] The thermal conductivity of the joint 400 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.2 to 1.5 W / (m·K). While a high thermal conductivity of the joint 400 is preferable, adding a large amount of thermally conductive filler (e.g., alumina, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, etc.) to increase the thermal conductivity makes the joint hard and difficult to stretch, which may cause breakage due to temperature changes or reduce the ability to relax stress caused by the temperature difference between the plate-like portion 100 and the base portion 200. Setting the thermal conductivity of the joint 400 within the above range ensures stress relaxation ability and allows efficient heat conduction.

[0030] 3 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing an enlarged cross-sectional configuration of an inorganic substrate 300. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional diagram conceptually showing an enlarged E1 portion in FIG.

[0031] 3, the inorganic substrate 300 has a fiber portion 330 and an inorganic binder portion 340. Specifically, the fiber portion 330 is made of a plurality of fibers 311, 321, and has a first fiber portion 310 having one or more fibers 311 extending in a first direction (the X-axis direction in this embodiment) along the bonding surface S2, and a second fiber portion 320 having one or more fibers 321 extending in a second direction (the Y-axis direction in this embodiment) along the bonding surface S2, which is different from the first direction. As shown in the figure, the fiber portion 330 is a so-called "plain weave" woven fabric in which the first fiber portions 310 and the second fiber portions 320 alternately cross each other.

[0032] The fibers 311, 321 are formed from at least one of metal and inorganic materials, and examples of the fiber material include inorganic fibers, metallic fibers, and carbon fibers. Examples of inorganic fibers include calcium carbonate, alumina, soda glass, and quartz glass, as well as rock wool (an artificial mineral fiber composed of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide). Examples of metallic fibers include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium fibers. Examples of carbon fibers include carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, and other carbon fibers. Examples of glass fibers include E-glass, C-glass, D-glass, S-glass, T-glass, ECR-glass, AR-glass, and VMP-glass. E-glass, which has a thermal expansion coefficient relatively close to that of alumina, is preferred.

[0033] Inorganic substrate 300 has fiber portion 330, and fibers 311 and 321 have a tensile strength greater than that of inorganic binder portion 340, thereby improving the tensile strength of inorganic substrate 300. The diameter of the fibers is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 10 μm. This allows the material strength of inorganic substrate 300 to be within an appropriate range.

[0034] The inorganic binder portion 340 is made of an inorganic binder containing an inorganic resin 342 that is mainly composed of an inorganic material and that bonds to the plate-shaped portion 100. In other words, the inorganic binder portion 340 is a hardened product of the inorganic binder. The inorganic resin 342 forms a continuous layer as shown in the figure. The inorganic resin 342 also functions as an adhesive and is bonded to the plate-shaped portion 100. In other words, the inorganic binder functions as both a filler and an adhesive. The inorganic resin is an inorganic polymer or the like with a small amount of organic components. Examples of inorganic materials contained in the inorganic resin 342 include inorganic polymer silicone resins such as polyalkylsiloxane, polymethylsiloxane, polyalkylphenylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane; dialkyldialkoxysilanes such as dimethyldialkoxysilane, phenylmethyldialkoxysilane, methyl-n-propyldialkoxysilane, ethylmethyldialkoxysilane, and ethylphenyldialkoxysilane; alkyltrialkoxysilanes such as phenyltrimethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, and methyltriethoxysilane; alkoxytrialkylsilanes such as methoxytrimethylsilane, ethoxytrimethylsilane, methoxytriethylsilane, ethoxytriethylsilane, and methoxytriphenylsilane; and tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetramethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, and condensates thereof. Other examples that may be used include inorganic cements such as Portland cement, sodium silicate (water glass), hydrous magnesium silicate (talc), colloidal silica, silica sol (for example, Snowtex (registered trademark) from Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), alumina sol, etc. The inorganic resin preferably has high heat resistance (for example, a heat-resistant limit temperature of 250°C or higher).

[0035] Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram of bonding between a plate-shaped portion 100 and an inorganic substrate 300. Fig. 4 shows an example in which the plate-shaped portion 100 is alumina, the main component (inorganic material) of the inorganic resin is a silicon-based compound, and the inorganic binder before hardening has a condensation catalyst. The condensation catalyst preferably contains a metal atom, and examples that can be used include organic acid tin salts, organic acid lead salts, organic acid cobalt salts, organic acid zinc salts, organic acid manganese salts, organic acid iron salts, organic titanium compounds, and organic zirconium compounds.

[0036] When the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 are bonded together, they are bonded together by intermolecular forces such as dehydration condensation between silanol groups of the inorganic resin contained in the inorganic binder before hardening and hydroxyl groups (OH groups) on the surface of the plate-shaped portion 100, or by hydrogen bonding. The bond between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 can be confirmed by, for example, confirming that there are no gaps at the interface between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 at a magnification level of 1000 times with an SEM (scanning electron microscope).

[0037] As described above, when the inorganic resin is mainly composed of a silicon-based compound and there are hydroxyl groups on the surface of the plate-shaped portion 100, it is possible to increase the bonding strength between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300. The bonding strength can be measured, for example, by the following method.

[0038] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a shear adhesive strength test. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a sample for the shear adhesive strength test. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the results of the shear adhesive strength test. As shown in FIG. 5, sample SM, fixed to fixture 810 with jig 820, is compressed with pressing jig 830, and the load [N] at break is measured. The maximum shear strength [MPa] is calculated by dividing the load by the bonded area (area of middle portion SM31). For example, an autograph AGS-5kNX manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation can be used as a measuring device. Sample SM is formed by bonding two ceramic plates SM1 and SM2 with an inorganic plate SM3. The ceramic plates SM1 and SM2 are primarily composed of alumina, and the inorganic plate SM3 is primarily composed of a silicon-based compound (polyalkylsiloxane). Sample SM has a groove G1 formed on the ceramic plate SM1 side and a groove G2 formed on the ceramic plate SM2 side (FIG. 6). By forming the grooves in this way, when a compressive force is applied to the sample SM by the pressing jig 830, a stress load can be applied in the shear direction to the middle portion SM31 of the inorganic plate SM3 (FIG. 5(B)).

[0039] As an example, the sample shown in Figure 6 was prepared and the maximum shear strength was measured. The dimensions shown in Figure 6 are as follows: t1=3.5mm t2=3.5mm t3=0.3mm h1=27mm h2=12.5mm h3=27mm h4=1mm h5=1mm w=12.5mm

[0040] The compositions of the ceramic plates SM1 and SM2 and the inorganic plate SM3 are as follows: Ceramic plates SM1 and SM2: Alumina Inorganic board SM3: Made from a silicon-based compound (polyalkylsiloxane) created by blending E-glass fiber and silica into a silane mixture consisting of dimethyldimethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, and a condensation catalyst, then hydrolyzing the silane mixture to generate silanol groups (Si-OH), which are then condensed and hardened.

[0041] When the maximum shear strength [MPa] at break was measured using samples 1 to 3 of the above sizes, the average was 13.7 MPa (FIG. 7). The stroke speed was 2 mm / min. In this test, as shown in the figure, breakage occurred within inorganic plate SM3, so it can be said that the shear strength between ceramic plate SM1 and inorganic plate SM3, and the shear strength between ceramic plate SM2 and inorganic plate SM3 are greater than 13.7 MPa on average. In other words, when the main component of the inorganic resin is a silicon-based compound and there are hydroxyl groups on the surface of the plate-shaped portion 100, it can be said that the bonding strength between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 can be increased.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fiber portion 330 is disposed within the inorganic binder portion 340. As will be described later, the inorganic substrate 300 is formed by impregnating the fiber portion 330 with the inorganic binder that forms the inorganic binder portion 340. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the inorganic binder portion 340 is present between the plurality of fibers 311 that form the first fiber portion 310, between the plurality of fibers 321 that form the second fiber portion 320, and between the first fiber portion 310 and the second fiber portion 320. Therefore, the inorganic binder filled between the fibers fixes the fibers together, and separation (falling apart) of the fiber bundle can be prevented.

[0043] Furthermore, the inorganic binder portion 340 is located between the plate-like portion 100 and the fiber portion 330 and forms the entire bonding surface S2 of the inorganic substrate 300. As described above, the inorganic resin 342 contained in the inorganic binder portion 340 functions as an adhesive, thereby suppressing peeling at the bonding interface between the plate-like portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300. In other embodiments, the inorganic binder portion 340 may be configured to be located at least partially between the plate-like portion 100 and the fiber portion 330. For example, by finely and partially bonding the plate-like portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 with the inorganic binder portion 340, stress generated in the inorganic substrate 300 due to temperature changes can be alleviated. However, a configuration in which the inorganic binder portion 340 is located entirely between the plate-like portion 100 and the fiber portion 330, as in this embodiment, is preferable because it improves the bonding strength between the plate-like portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300.

[0044] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram conceptually illustrating a cross section near the bonded portion between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300. FIG. 8(B) is an enlarged view of portion G1 in FIG. 8(A), and FIG. 8(C) is an enlarged view of portion G2 in FIG. 8(A). In this embodiment, the inorganic binder portion 340 includes inorganic particles 350 as shown. The inorganic particles 350 are generally also referred to as fillers. The inorganic particles 350 are made of an inorganic material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the inorganic resin 342. Examples of inorganic particles 350 that can be used include carbon, alumina, silica, boron nitride, silicon nitride, calcium carbonate, and barium sulfate. Because the inorganic particles 350 have a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the inorganic resin 342, the thermal expansion of the inorganic binder portion 340 can be reduced. The particle diameter of the inorganic particles 350 is larger than that of the inorganic resin 342 and smaller than the diameter of the fibers, preferably 10 μm or less, for example. Furthermore, it is preferable that the shape of the inorganic particles 350 is irregular rather than spherical, cubic, etc. Note that in Fig. 8, only some of the plurality of inorganic particles 350 and fibers 311 are labeled with reference numerals.

[0045] The particle size of the inorganic particles 350 can be determined as follows. Randomly, 100 particles were selected from the cross-sectional observation image by SEM, and the maximum and minimum diameters of each particle were measured. The average of all the diameters was calculated and used as the particle size. The sample for cross-sectional observation was prepared by polishing the cross section using a cross-section sample preparation device called a cross-section polisher. TM After processing using a CP (manufactured by JEOL Ltd.), the specimen was observed.

[0046] The ratio between the inorganic resin 342 and the inorganic particles 350 in the inorganic binder portion 340 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 30% inorganic resin 342 and 70% inorganic particles 350.

[0047] As shown in Figures 8(B) and 8(C), in the inorganic binder portion 340, the portion impregnated with the fiber portion 330 (between the multiple fibers 321 in Figure 8(C)) has a portion with fewer inorganic particles 350 than the portion between the plate-like portion 100 and the fiber portion 330 (Figure 8(B)).

[0048] In the electrostatic chuck 10, stress is generated in the inorganic substrate 300 in the shear direction as described below. Here, the thermal expansion coefficient is as follows: plate-shaped portion 100<inorganic substrate 300<base portion 200. As described above, the bonding portion 400 is formed using an adhesive whose main component is an organic substance such as acrylic or polyimide, or silicone, and is made of a material with a low elastic modulus, so it can easily expand and contract, and the stress generated in the inorganic substrate 300 by the bonding portion 400 is small.

[0049] (1) Room temperature (e.g., 20°C), when not in operation: As described below, in the manufacture of the electrostatic chuck 10, the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 are bonded by thermocompression bonding. Thereafter, when the inorganic substrate 300 and the base portion 200 are bonded by the bonding portion 400, the bonding portion 400 may be heated and cured at a temperature of 100°C or higher. At this time, the plate-shaped portion 100, the inorganic substrate 300, and the bonding portion 400 are each in a flat state during curing. When the electrostatic chuck 10 is at room temperature (e.g., 20°C) and in an unoperated state, the temperature is lower than during curing, and therefore each portion tends to shrink. At this time, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the plate-shaped portion 100 is lower than that of the inorganic substrate 300 as described above, the inorganic substrate 300 shrinks more, and tensile stress is generated at the bonding interface with the plate-shaped portion 100. (2) During operation (e.g., 250°C): During operation, the plate-shaped portion 100 receives heat from the plasma and reaches a high temperature (e.g., 250°C). Meanwhile, a coolant (e.g., 60°C) is supplied to the base portion 200, so a temperature gradient occurs in the electrostatic chuck 10 in the stacking direction (Z-axis direction), where the temperature decreases from the plate-shaped portion 100 toward the base portion 200. As a result, shear stress occurs due to a difference in thermal expansion caused by a temperature difference within the inorganic substrate 300. The above has been described for the case where the thermal expansion coefficient of the plate-shaped portion 100 is smaller than that of the inorganic substrate 300. However, even when the thermal expansion coefficient of the plate-shaped portion 100 is larger than that of the inorganic substrate 300, shear stress occurs due to a difference in thermal expansion, and cracks C may occur if a temperature change or a temperature difference occurs within the inorganic substrate 300.

[0050] In this way, shear stress occurs in the inorganic substrate 300 both when not in operation (at room temperature) and when in operation, which makes it prone to cracks C. As described above, in the inorganic binder portion 340, the portion impregnated with the fiber portion 330 (between the plurality of fibers 321 in FIG. 8(C)) has fewer inorganic particles 350 than the portion between the plate-like portion 100 and the fiber portion 330 (FIG. 8(B)), and cracks C are more likely to occur in the portion with fewer inorganic particles 350 (FIG. 8(C)).

[0051] 9A and 9B are diagrams illustrating the effect of including inorganic particles 350 in the inorganic binder portion 340. FIG. 9A shows an example of an inorganic binder portion 340C that does not include inorganic particles 350, and FIG. 9B shows an example of an inorganic binder portion 340 that includes inorganic particles 350. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, the thermal expansion of the inorganic resin 342 is larger than that of the fibers 321. Therefore, as the temperature of the electrostatic chuck 10 changes, gaps form between the fibers 321 and the inorganic resin 342, and cracks are likely to form between the fibers 321 and the inorganic resin 342. Here, when glass fibers are used as the fibers 321, for example, the thermal expansion of the fibers 321 is 5.6 ppm, and the thermal expansion of the inorganic resin 342 is greater than 10 ppm.

[0052] 9(B), the inorganic binder portion 340 contains inorganic particles 350, which can suppress the thermal expansion of the inorganic binder portion 340. This reduces the difference in thermal expansion between the fibers 321 and the inorganic binder portion 340, thereby suppressing the occurrence of cracks inside the inorganic substrate 300. When the thermal expansion coefficient follows the rule of mixtures, for example, if the thermal expansion coefficient of the cured inorganic resin is 20 ppm / °C and the thermal expansion coefficient of the inorganic particles is 6 ppm / °C, then when the composition contains 30% by volume of inorganic resin and 70% by volume of inorganic particles (filler), the thermal expansion coefficient of the inorganic binder portion is 20 ppm / °C × 0.3 + 6 ppm / °C × 0.7 = 10.2 ppm / °C.

[0053] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of the effect of reducing the size of inorganic particles 350. FIG. 10(A) shows an example in which the particle diameter of inorganic particles 350A is larger than the gaps between multiple fibers 321, and FIG. 10(B) shows an example in which the particle diameter of inorganic particles 350B is smaller than the gaps between multiple fibers 321. FIG. 10(C) shows an enlarged portion of FIG. 10(B). As shown in FIG. 10(A), the particle diameter of inorganic particles 350A is larger than the gaps between multiple fibers 321, so they do not penetrate into the gaps between multiple fibers 321. Therefore, the thermal expansion of the inorganic binder portion in the gaps between multiple fibers 321 is larger than that of fibers 321, which creates gaps between fibers 321 and the inorganic binder portion, making cracks more likely to occur.

[0054] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 10(B), the particle diameter of inorganic particles 350B is smaller than the gaps between the multiple fibers 321, and therefore they can enter the gaps between the multiple fibers 321 as shown in Figure 10(C). Therefore, the thermal expansion of the inorganic binder portion in the gaps between the multiple fibers 321 is smaller than that of the inorganic binder portion in Figure 10(A), and the difference in thermal expansion between the fibers 321 and the inorganic binder portion can be reduced. As a result, the generation of gaps between the fibers 321 and the inorganic binder portion can be suppressed, and the generation of cracks inside the inorganic substrate 300 can be suppressed.

[0055] As described above, according to the electrostatic chuck 10 of this embodiment, since it has the inorganic substrate 300, the inorganic substrate 300 functions as a heat insulating plate, which can suppress heat dissipation from the plate-shaped portion 100 to the bonding portion 400, and can suppress deterioration of the bonding portion 400 due to heat.

[0056] Furthermore, since inorganic substrate 300 includes fiber portion 330, fibers 311 and 321 expand and contract as the temperature of inorganic substrate 300 changes, and can share the stress generated in inorganic substrate 300, thereby reducing the stress generated in inorganic binder portion 340.

[0057] Furthermore, since the inorganic binder part 340 contains inorganic particles 350 whose thermal expansion coefficient is smaller than that of the inorganic resin 342, the thermal expansion of the inorganic binder part 340 can be suppressed compared to when the inorganic particles 350 are not contained, and the difference in thermal expansion between the fiber part 330 and the inorganic binder part 340 can be reduced, thereby suppressing internal cracks in the inorganic substrate 300. As a result, breakage of the inorganic substrate 300 can be suppressed.

[0058] Furthermore, since the inorganic substrate 300 has the inorganic binder portion 340, it is possible to suppress peeling between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300. Furthermore, when the inorganic resin 342 is a silicon-based compound or a cured product thereof, the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic resin 342 are bonded together by intermolecular forces such as dehydration condensation of hydroxyl groups (OH groups) on the surface of the plate-shaped portion 100 and residual silanol groups of the silicon-based compound that constitutes the inorganic substrate 300, or hydrogen bonding, so that the bond between the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 can be further strengthened.

[0059] In the electrostatic chuck 10 of this embodiment, the inorganic particles 350 penetrate between the multiple fibers 311 in the inorganic substrate 300, thereby reducing the thermal expansion difference between the inorganic binder portion between the multiple fibers 311 and the fibers 311, and further suppressing internal cracks in the inorganic substrate 300.

[0060] 11 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing a part of a method for manufacturing the electrostatic chuck 10. The method for manufacturing the electrostatic chuck 10 is not particularly limited, but the electrostatic chuck 10 can be manufactured by, for example, the following method.

[0061] First, a ceramic substrate (plate-shaped portion 100), an inorganic substrate prepreg 301, and a base portion 200 are prepared. The prepreg is an intermediate material in which fibers are pre-impregnated with resin, and is obtained, for example, by impregnating a plain-woven fabric (fiber portion 330) of glass fiber with an inorganic binder solution, drying, and curing the material. The inorganic binder solution is prepared by mixing, for example, a solution of various silanes such as silicone resin, alkoxysilane, and silane coupling agent, silica (inorganic particles 350), an organic solvent, polysiloxane, water glass, etc. The plate-shaped portion 100 and the base portion 200 can be manufactured by known manufacturing methods, and therefore, a description of the manufacturing methods will be omitted here.

[0062] A plurality of prepregs 301 are laminated on the plate-shaped portion 100 and bonded by thermocompression to form a bonded body 103 in which the plate-shaped portion 100 and the inorganic substrate 300 are bonded together (FIG. 11(A)). The prepregs 301 have predetermined through-holes formed therein.

[0063] Before bonding, the surface of the plate-shaped part 100 may be subjected to plasma treatment. By modifying the surface of the plate-shaped part 100, the bonding strength of the inorganic binder can be improved.

[0064] Furthermore, an uneven shape may be provided on the surface of the plate-like portion 100 before bonding. By matching the uneven shape of the surface of the plate-like portion 100 with the uneven shape of the surface of the prepreg 301 of the inorganic substrate, the anchor effect can be enhanced, thereby improving the bonding strength of the bonded body 103.

[0065] Furthermore, before bonding, the surface of the plate-shaped member 100 may be subjected to blasting. Roughening the surface of the plate-shaped member 100 enhances the anchor effect, and the bonding strength of the bonded body 103 can be improved.

[0066] Furthermore, the plate-like portion 100 before bonding may be molded into a concave warp. When bonding to the smooth plate-like portion 100, the bonded body 103 may warp into a convex shape due to cure shrinkage of the inorganic substrate prepreg 301 and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the inorganic substrate prepreg 301 and the plate-like portion 100. By molding the plate-like portion 100 into a concave shape before bonding and then bonding the inorganic substrate prepreg 301, the bonded body 103 can be prevented from warping into a convex shape.

[0067] Furthermore, the plate-like portion 100 before bonding may be molded into a convex warp. When bonding to the smooth plate-like portion 100, the bonded body 103 may warp into a concave shape due to cure shrinkage of the inorganic substrate prepreg 301 and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the inorganic substrate prepreg 301 and the plate-like portion 100. By molding the plate-like portion 100 into a convex shape before bonding and then bonding the inorganic substrate prepreg 301, it is possible to prevent the bonded body 103 from warping into a concave shape.

[0068] Pores may also be present in the inorganic substrate 300. The pores have low thermal conductivity, which improves the heat insulating performance of the inorganic substrate 300 and can suppress a temperature rise in the bonding portion 400.

[0069] Next, the plate-like portion 100, the bonded body 103, and the base portion 200 are bonded together with a silicone adhesive to obtain the electrostatic chuck 10. Specifically, a first sheet-like adhesive 401 is attached to the surface of the bonded body 103 facing the inorganic substrate 300, and a second sheet-like adhesive 402 is attached to the base portion 200. The first sheet-like adhesive 401 and the second sheet-like adhesive 402 are then bonded together (FIG. 11(B)). The adhesive is then heated (100°C or higher) in this state to harden the adhesive, thereby forming the bonded portion 400 and obtaining the electrostatic chuck 10 (FIG. 11(C)). Note that the adhesive may be cured by any suitable method, such as adding moisture, regardless of whether it is heat curing or not, depending on the type of adhesive.

[0070] The surface of the inorganic substrate 300 on the bonding portion 400 side may have irregularities that follow the undulations of the fiber portion 330. Compared to a smooth surface, an irregular surface can increase the bonding area of the bonding portion 400, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the bonding portion 400 and the inorganic substrate 300. As a result, peeling between the bonding portion 400 and the inorganic substrate 300 can be prevented.

[0071] Second Embodiment 12 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating an XZ cross-sectional configuration of an electrostatic chuck 10A according to the second embodiment. The electrostatic chuck 10A according to the second embodiment differs from the electrostatic chuck 10 according to the first embodiment in that the diameters of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A are smaller than those of the first embodiment, and that the electrostatic chuck 10A further includes an outer peripheral protection member 900A. In the embodiments described below, the same components as those of the electrostatic chuck 10 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the preceding description will be referred to.

[0072] The outer peripheral protection member 900A is a member that protects the outer periphery of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A, and in this embodiment, an O-ring made of a highly plasma-resistant material is used, such as a fluorine-based rubber material.

[0073] According to the electrostatic chuck 10A of this embodiment, since it is equipped with an outer peripheral protection member 900A, it is possible to suppress the diffusion of particles from the ends of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A due to plasma processing of the wafer W (target object) held by the electrostatic chuck 10A.

[0074] <Third embodiment> 13 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating an XZ cross-sectional configuration of an electrostatic chuck 10B according to the third embodiment. The electrostatic chuck 10B according to the third embodiment includes an outer periphery protection member 900B instead of the outer periphery protection member 900A in the electrostatic chuck 10A according to the second embodiment.

[0075] The peripheral protective member 900B of this embodiment is formed in a substantially annular planar shape and has a thickness equal to the combined thickness of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A. The peripheral protective member 900B may be formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A, and a gap may be formed between the outer peripheral surfaces of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A and the peripheral protective member 900B. In other embodiments, the peripheral protective member 900B may be formed on a portion of the outer peripheral surfaces of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A. In this embodiment, the peripheral protective member 900B is primarily composed of alumina, which is a material with high plasma resistance. Alternatively, the peripheral protective member 900B may be formed using the same material as the plate-like portion 100. The peripheral protective member 900B can be formed by thermal spraying, cold spraying, aerosol deposition, or the like. It can also be formed by fitting a C-ring.

[0076] Even with this configuration, like the second embodiment, it is possible to suppress the diffusion of particles from the ends of the inorganic substrate 300A and the bonding portion 400A.

[0077] <Modification of this embodiment> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the following modifications are also possible.

[0078] In the above embodiment, the inorganic particles are present between the fibers of the fiber portion, but the inorganic particles do not have to be present between the fibers. Even in this case, the presence of inorganic particles in the inorganic substrate reduces the difference in thermal expansion between the fiber portion and the inorganic binder portion, thereby preventing cracks from occurring inside the inorganic substrate.

[0079] In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the fibers contained in the inorganic substrate extended from end to end, but the fibers do not have to extend from end to end. For example, the fibers may be longer than the radius of the inorganic substrate. They may also be longer than one-third the length of the inorganic substrate. However, longer fibers are preferable because they can share stress by expanding and contracting the fibers themselves.

[0080] In the first embodiment, the first fiber portion 310 and the second fiber portion 320 are fiber bundles each made up of a plurality of fibers, but the first fiber portion and the second fiber portion may each contain at least one fiber. The fiber bundles may also be twisted.

[0081] In the first embodiment, a plain woven cloth-like fiber portion 330 is exemplified, but cloth-like fiber portions of other weaves such as twill and satin may also be used. Furthermore, cloth-like fiber portions knitted by plain knitting (jersey knitting), rib knitting (rib knitting), purl knitting, or the like may also be used. Furthermore, a portion of the fiber portion may be cloth-like. That is, the fiber portion may include a cloth-like portion in which fibers are woven or knitted. Furthermore, in addition to the first fiber portion 310 and the second fiber portion 320, fibers extending in other directions may also be woven or knitted.

[0082] Although a plain woven cloth-like fiber portion 330 is exemplified as the fiber portion 330, a nonwoven fabric may also be used. Furthermore, the fiber portion 330 does not have to be in the form of a cloth. For example, the fiber portion 330 may have a configuration in which a plurality of fibers are dispersed in the inorganic binder portion 340.

[0083] The thermal expansion coefficients of the plate-like portion and the inorganic substrate may be the same, or the thermal expansion coefficient of the inorganic substrate may be smaller than that of the plate-like portion. Even in such cases, by employing the inorganic substrate of the above-described form, it is possible to prevent the inorganic substrate from breaking due to stress caused by a temperature gradient inside the inorganic substrate.

[0084] In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which an object is held on the first surface S1 of the plate-shaped portion 100, but it is also possible to bond another ceramic substrate onto the plate-shaped portion 100 and hold the object on top of that.

[0085] In the above embodiment, an electrostatic chuck is used as an example of the holding device, but the holding device is not limited to an electrostatic chuck. For example, the holding device may be configured as a heater device, susceptor, or mounting table for a vacuum device such as CVD, PVD, or PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition).

[0086] In the above embodiment, the holding device is provided with a stack of plate-like members having a substantially circular planar shape, but the planar shape is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the holding device may have a rectangular or polygonal planar shape.

[0087] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, the technical features in the embodiments corresponding to the technical features in each aspect described in the Summary of the Invention section can be appropriately replaced or combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, if a technical feature is not described as essential in this specification, it can be appropriately deleted.

[0088] The present disclosure can also be realized as the following application examples. [Application example 1] A holding device for holding an object, a plate-shaped portion mainly composed of ceramic; a plate-shaped inorganic substrate bonded to the plate-shaped portion; a plate-shaped base portion disposed on the opposite side of the inorganic substrate from the plate-shaped portion; a bonding portion disposed between the inorganic substrate and the base portion and bonding the inorganic substrate and the base portion; Equipped with The inorganic substrate is a fiber portion formed in a cloth shape from a plurality of fibers made of at least one of metal and inorganic material; an inorganic binder portion that is a cured product of an inorganic binder having an inorganic resin that is mainly composed of an inorganic material and that is bonded to the plate-like portion, and inorganic particles that have a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the inorganic resin, holding device.
