Fig. 2 is the cutaway view of diagram electrostatic chuck of the example embodiment of design according to the present invention.
With reference to figure 2, the electrostatic chuck (ESC) 200 of example embodiment of design comprises main body 201, is installed on the main body 201 and the inner substrate 202 that comprises electrode 203, the resilient coating 206 that has the terminal unit of the insulating component 205 that the high pressure from the external power source (not shown) is applied to the terminal 204 of electrode 203 and surrounds terminal 204 and be used to absorb the thermal stress of main body 201 according to the present invention.Substrate (not shown) pending in process chamber is fixedly positioned on the substrate 202, and resilient coating 206 is located at least a portion of borderline region of main body 201 and substrate 202.
In example embodiment, main body 201 can comprise the conductive of material such as aluminium, and as the base support of electrostatic chuck 200.Middle body in main body 201 prepares through hole 207, comprises that the terminal unit of terminal 204 and insulating component 205 inserts described through hole 207, thereby penetrates described main body 201.
In example embodiment, substrate 202 can comprise that dielectric substance also can be sprayed (APS) skill by atmospheric plasma and be coated on the main body 201.Substrate 202 can comprise the ceramic material with dielectric substance.The example of ceramic material can comprise aluminium oxide (Al 2O 3), yittrium oxide (Y 2O 3), aluminium oxide (Al 2O 3) and yittrium oxide (Y 2O 3) mixture, zirconia (ZrO 2), aluminium carbide (AlC), titanium nitride (TiN), aluminium nitride (AlN), titanium carbide (TiC), magnesium oxide (MgO), calcium oxide (CaO), cerium oxide (CeO 2), titanium oxide (TiO 2), boron carbide (BxCy), boron nitride (BN), silicon dioxide (SiO 2), carborundum (SiC), yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y 3Al 5O 12), mullite (aluminosilicate, 3Al 2O 32SiO 3), aluminum fluoride (AlF 3) or the like.These materials may be used singly or in combin.
Described substrate is fastened on the substrate 202, and locatees regularly by electrostatic force, and described electrostatic force can produce by the electric energy that is applied on the electrode 203 that is installed in substrate 202 inside.The top surface of substrate 202 is flat, thereby described substrate flatly can be positioned on the substrate 202.In the embodiment of this example, electrode 203 is arranged essentially parallel to the top surface of substrate 202 and installs.
Middle body at substrate 202 provides insertion portion 208, and terminal 204 is inserted in the insertion portion 208.Terminal 204 can form with electrode 203 via the insertion portion 208 of substrate 202 and contact.Therefore, terminal 204 can pass through hole 207 and insert in the main bodys 201, and the insertion portion 208 that passes substrate 202 extends to electrode 203.That is to say that terminal 204 can pass the through hole 207 of main body 201 and the insertion portion 208 of substrate 202 is couple on the electrode 203.
As mentioned above, electrode 203 can be installed in the substrate 202, via terminal 204 high pressure is applied on the electrode 203.Therefore, electrostatic force can be applied to the substrate on the substrate 202, this substrate is secured on the substrate 202.That is to say that described substrate is fixedly positioned on the substrate 202 by described electrostatic force.
For example, electrode 203 can comprise the conductive of material such as nickel (Ni).
In illustrated embodiments of the invention, can electrode 203 be formed in the substrate 202 by continuous atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technology.At first, can on main body 201, form infrabasal plate 202a, can on infrabasal plate 202a, form the electrode layer (not shown) via APS coating processes or silk-screen printing technique via an APS coating processes.Can described electrode layer be formed electrode 203 on infrabasal plate 202a by Patternized technique.Then, can on infrabasal plate 202a, be formed with the upper substrate 202b of abundant thickness, with coated electrode 203 by the 2nd APS coating processes.
For example, infrabasal plate layer 202a can be formed the thickness of about 400 μ m to 600 μ m, electrode 203 can have the thickness of about 5 μ m to about 65 μ m.In addition, upper substrate 202b can be formed the thickness of about 400 μ m to about 750 μ m.
Terminal 204 passes through hole 207 and insertion portion 208 is connected to electrode 203, and high pressure is applied on the electrode 203 from the external power source (not shown) by terminal 204.Terminal 204 can comprise the conductive metal material such as tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo) and titanium (Ti).
In an example embodiment, insulating component 205 is got involved between main body 201 and terminal 204, thereby makes main body 201 and terminal 204 electric insulation mutually.For example, insulating component 205 can comprise sintered ceramic material, because the hole much less in the sintered ceramic material, thereby the electric insulation between main body 201 and the terminal 204 is maximized.
For example, insulating component 205 can have the thickness of about 2000 μ m, and has about 0.1 μ m to the surface roughness of about 2 μ m, so that skin resistance minimizes, and prevents electric arc.In this example, insulating component 205 can have about 1 μ m or littler surface roughness.
In an example embodiment, resilient coating 206 is positioned on the part of first borderline region of main body 201 and insulating component 205, on the 3rd borderline region of second borderline region of substrate 202 and insulating component 205 and substrate 202 and terminal 204.For example, resilient coating 206 can comprise ceramic material.The example of ceramic material comprises aluminium oxide (Al 2O 3), yittrium oxide (Y 2O 3), aluminium oxide (Al 2O 3) and yittrium oxide (Y 2O 3) mixture, zirconia (ZrO 2), aluminium carbide (AlC), titanium nitride (TiN), aluminium nitride (AlN), titanium carbide (TiC), magnesium oxide (MgO), calcium oxide (CaO), cerium oxide (CeO 2), titanium oxide (TiO 2), boron carbide (BxCy), boron nitride (BN), silicon dioxide (SiO 2), carborundum (SiC), yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y 3Al 5O 12), mullite (aluminosilicate, 3Al 2O 32SiO 3), aluminum fluoride (AlF 3) or the like.These ceramic materials may be used singly or in combin.Can form resilient coating 206 at described first, second by the APS coating processes with the 3rd borderline region.
For example, resilient coating 206 can have the thickness of about 100 μ m to about 250 μ m, more preferably, has the thickness of about 150 μ m to about 200 μ m.When resilient coating 206 has thickness greater than about 250 μ m, can in resilient coating 206, be easy to produce pore, can cause in the resilient coating 206 like this and crackle occur, when less than the thickness of about 100 μ m, make resilient coating 206 be difficult to absorb the thermal stress of main body 201 to such an extent as to resilient coating 206 is often too thin.
In addition, the same with insulating component 205, resilient coating 206 can have about 0.1 μ m to the surface roughness of about 2 μ m, so that skin resistance minimizes, and prevents electric arc.In this example, resilient coating 206 can have about 1 μ m or littler surface roughness.Resilient coating 206 can absorb the thermal stress of electrostatic chuck 200, and the increase of this thermal stress Yin Wendu in plasma deposition technology or plasma etching process process causes.The aluminium main body of existing ESC can be owing to the high temperature of existing ESC in plasma process causes thermal expansion, various thermal stress can impose on existing ESC, in same plasma process, the thermal expansion of the main body of ESC of the present invention can be absorbed in the resilient coating 206.Therefore, the thermal stress of the main body of described ESC can not be applied on the described insulating component.Especially, resilient coating 206 can prevent fully that stress from concentrating on the edge point (corresponding to the part A among Fig. 1) of described ESC, therefore prevented at the main body 201 of described ESC and the crackle of the borderline region between the insulating component 205, thereby increased the viability of described ESC.
In this example embodiment, the porosity of resilient coating 206 (porosity) is identical or bigger than the porosity of substrate 202 with the porosity of substrate 202, thereby makes the absorbability maximization of thermal stress and the crackle of described ESC is minimized.That is to say that the porosity of resilient coating 206 is identical with the porosity of infrabasal plate 202a or upper substrate 202b, perhaps big than them.For example, resilient coating 206 can have about 2% to about 10% porosity, more preferably, and about 2% to about 7%.When the porosity of resilient coating 206 surpasses 10%, described hole in the described resilient coating is often too much, can reduce the intensity of resilient coating 206 like this, resilient coating 206 is separated from insulating component 205 and substrate 202, and be lower than about 2% porosity, often crack easily and promptly, make resilient coating 206 be difficult to absorb thermal stress.
Further, the edge part of resilient coating 206 can form circle or chamfering, thereby can remove sharp-pointed part from resilient coating 206.When described resilient coating comprised sharp-pointed edge part, described thermal stress was concentrated in described sharp-pointed part, and crackle can be rapidly grows out along part from the sharp edge of resilient coating 206.
Refer again to Fig. 2,, cause the center thickness A of infrabasal plate 202a bigger than the peripheral thickness B of infrabasal plate 202a because main body 201 has inclined-plane S at the middle body of ESC200.Therefore, infrabasal plate 202a is littler than the density of locating at the ESC200 periphery in the density of ESC200 central portion office.But,, can fully reduce by the electric current that pore leaked, thereby prevent between main body 201 and electrode 203, to produce electric arc at the infrabasal plate 202a of the central portion office of ESC200 because the thickness of infrabasal plate 202a is bigger.
In addition, because infrabasal plate 202a has bigger thickness in the central portion office of ESC200, can fully prevent to crack, thereby prevent between main body 201 and electrode 203, to produce electric arc at described first borderline region of main body 201 and insulating component 205.
Between main body 201 and infrabasal plate 202a, can add the adhesive layer (not shown), thereby firmly main body 201 and infrabasal plate 202a be tightened together.The hot coefficient of described adhesive layer can change between the hot coefficient of the hot coefficient of described main body and infrabasal plate 202a, thereby can make the thermal stress of main body 201 be absorbed into described adhesive layer, and can not be applied to fully on the infrabasal plate 202a.Described adhesive layer can comprise the metal alloy such as nickel-aluminium alloy.
Refer again to Fig. 2, on main body 201, terminal 204 and insulating component 205, can form infrabasal plate 202a, promptly make infrabasal plate 202a at the top surface of the peripheral part of ESC200 top surface height than terminal 204 with this structure.Therefore, upper substrate 202b at the center thickness C of ESC central portion office greater than peripheral thickness D in the periphery office of ESC200.Therefore, when high pressure is applied on the electrode 203 by terminal 204, can fully prevent from electrode 203 and be positioned between the substrate on the upper substrate 202b to produce electric arc.
Afterwards, describe the method for making ESC200 shown in Figure 2 in detail.
At first, described terminal unit is installed on the main body 201.Described terminal unit comprises terminal 204, insulating component 205 and resilient coating 206.Terminal 204 can be electrically connected to external power source, with operation ESC200.Insulating component 205 surrounds terminal 204, thereby main body 201 and terminal 204 can be electrically insulated from each other.Resilient coating 206 is formed on the part of insulating component 205, can absorb the thermal stress among the ESC200, thereby reduces among the ESC200 because the crackle that thermal stress causes.
Can individual processing have the insulator (not shown) of preliminary dimension and shape and prepare terminal 204.Then, terminal 204 is inserted through in the insulator of handling, thereby the combination of terminal 204 and described insulator can be provided with such structure, promptly make described terminal to be lived by described insulator local envelopment.The insulator that surrounds terminal 204 is as insulating component 205.Then, on the part of terminal 204, form resilient coating 206.For example, can remove described insulator, thereby form the buffer area at terminal 204 places from the end of terminal 204.On the described buffer area of the end of terminal 204, form resilient coating 206.
In addition, the edge part of terminal 204 and insulating component 205 can form circle, or chamfering.Afterwards, can be by planarization process with resilient coating 206 levelings, thus reduce its surface roughness.The through hole 207 that comprises the terminal unit through-body 201 of terminal 204, insulating component 205 and resilient coating 206, thus described terminal unit and main body 201 are combined.
