Described substrate is fastened on substrate 202, and locates regularly by electrostatic force, and described electrostatic force can produce by the electric energy being applied on the electrode 203 that is arranged on substrate 202 inside.The top surface of substrate 202 is flat, thereby described substrate flatly can be positioned on substrate 202.In the embodiment of this example, electrode 203 is arranged essentially parallel to the top surface of substrate 202 and installs.
Provide insertion portion 208 at the middle body of substrate 202, terminal 204 is inserted in insertion portion 208.Terminal 204 can form and contact with electrode 203 via the insertion portion of substrate 202 208.Therefore, terminal 204 can insert in main body 201 through through hole 207, and extends to electrode 203 through the insertion portion 208 of substrate 202.That is to say, terminal 204 can be couple on electrode 203 through the through hole 207 of main body 201 and the insertion portion 208 of substrate 202.
As mentioned above, electrode 203 can be arranged in substrate 202, via terminal 204, high pressure is applied on electrode 203.Therefore, electrostatic force can be applied to the substrate on substrate 202, this substrate is secured on substrate 202.That is to say, described substrate is fixedly positioned on 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 substrate 202 by continuous atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technique.First, can in main body 201, form infrabasal plate 202a via an APS coating processes, can on infrabasal plate 202a, form electrode layer (not shown) via APS coating processes or silk-screen printing technique.Can described electrode layer be formed as on infrabasal plate 202a by Patternized technique to electrode 203.Then, can on infrabasal plate 202a, be formed with the upper substrate 202b of abundant thickness by the 2nd APS coating processes, with coated electrode 203.
For example, infrabasal plate layer 202a can be formed as to 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 as to the thickness of about 400 μ m to about 750 μ m.
Terminal 204 is connected to electrode 203 through through hole 207 and insertion portion 208, and high pressure is applied to electrode 203 from 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 sintered ceramic material, thereby the electric insulation between main body 201 and 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 less surface roughness.
In an example embodiment, resilient coating 206 is positioned in the part of first side boundary region of main body 201 and insulating component 205, on substrate 202 and the second boundary region of insulating component 205 and the 3rd borderline region of substrate 202 and terminal 204.For example, resilient coating 206 can comprise ceramic material.The example of ceramic material comprises aluminium oxide (Al

2o
32SiO
3), aluminum fluoride (AlF
3) etc.These ceramic materials may be used singly or in combin.Can form resilient coating 206 by APS coating processes at described first, second, and third 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.In the time that resilient coating 206 has the thickness that is greater than about 250 μ m, can in resilient coating 206, be easy to produce pore, can cause in resilient coating 206 and occur crackle like this, in the time being less than the thickness of about 100 μ m, resilient coating 206 is often too thin to such an extent as to make resilient coating 206 be difficult to absorb the thermal stress of main body 201.
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 less 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 technique or plasma etching process process causes.The aluminium main body of existing ESC can cause thermal expansion due to the high temperature of existing ESC in plasma process, 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 resilient coating 206.Therefore, the thermal stress of the main body of described ESC can not be applied on described insulating component.Especially, resilient coating 206 can fully prevent that stress from concentrating on the edge point (corresponding to the part A in Fig. 1) of described ESC, therefore prevent the crackle of the borderline region between main body 201 and the insulating component 205 of described ESC, thereby increased the viability of described ESC.
In this example embodiment, the porosity of resilient coating 206 (porosity) is identical or larger than the porosity of substrate 202 with the porosity of substrate 202, thereby makes the absorbability of thermal stress maximize and make the crackle of described ESC to minimize.That is to say, the porosity of resilient coating 206 is identical with the porosity of infrabasal plate 202a or upper substrate 202b, or large than them.For example, resilient coating 206 can have about 2% to about 10% porosity, more preferably, and about 2% to about 7%.In the time that the porosity of resilient coating 206 exceedes 10%, described hole in described resilient coating is often too much, can reduce like this intensity of resilient coating 206, finally make resilient coating 206 separate from insulating component 205 and substrate 202, and lower than about 2% porosity, often easily and promptly crack, make resilient coating 206 be difficult to absorb thermal stress.
Further, the edge part of resilient coating 206 can be formed as circle or chamfering, thereby can remove sharp-pointed part from resilient coating 206.In the time that described resilient coating comprises sharp-pointed edge part, described thermal stress is concentrated in described sharp parts, crackle can be rapidly from the sharp edge of resilient coating 206 along some growth out.
Refer again to Fig. 2, because main body 201 has inclined-plane S at the middle body of ESC200, cause the center thickness A of infrabasal plate 202a larger than the peripheral thickness B of infrabasal plate 202a.Therefore, infrabasal plate 202a is little in the density at ESC200 periphery place at the density ratio of ESC200 central portion office.But, because the thickness of infrabasal plate 202a is larger, the electric current that fully minimizing is leaked by the pore of the infrabasal plate 202a of the central portion office at ESC200, thus prevent from producing electric arc between main body 201 and electrode 203.
In addition, because infrabasal plate 202a has larger thickness in the central portion office of ESC200, can fully prevent from cracking in the described first side boundary region of main body 201 and insulating component 205, thereby prevent from producing electric arc between main body 201 and electrode 203.
Between main body 201 and infrabasal plate 202a, can add 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 described main body and the hot coefficient of 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 completely on 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, with this formation of structure infrabasal plate 202a, make infrabasal plate 202a higher than the top surface of terminal 204 at the top surface of the peripheral part of ESC200.Therefore, upper substrate 202b is greater than the peripheral thickness D in the periphery office of ESC200 at the center thickness C of ESC central portion office.Therefore,, in the time that high pressure is applied on electrode 203 by terminal 204, can fully prevent from electrode 203 and be positioned between the substrate on upper substrate 202b producing electric arc.
Afterwards, describe the method for the ESC200 shown in shop drawings 2 in detail.
First, described terminal unit is arranged in 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, to operate 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 in a part for insulating component 205, can absorb the thermal stress in ESC200, thereby reduces the crackle causing due to thermal stress in ESC200.
Can process separately and there is the insulator (not shown) of preliminary dimension and shape and prepare terminal 204.Then, terminal 204 is inserted through in the insulator of processing, thereby the combination of terminal 204 and described insulator can be provided with such structure, make described terminal to be lived by described insulator local envelopment.Surround the insulator of terminal 204 as insulating component 205.Then, in a part for terminal 204, form resilient coating 206.For example, can remove described insulator from the end of terminal 204, thereby in terminal 204 formation buffer areas, place.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 be formed as circle, or chamfering.Afterwards, can be by planarization process by resilient coating 206 levelings, thus reduce its surface roughness.Comprise the through hole 207 of the terminal unit through-body 201 of terminal 204, insulating component 205 and resilient coating 206, thereby described terminal unit and main body 201 are combined.
Then, in main body 201, with this formation of structure substrate 202, make electrode 203 can be arranged on the inside of substrate 202.That is to say, first infrabasal plate 202a is formed in main body 201, then on infrabasal plate 202a, forms described electrode layer (not shown).Described electrode layer can be patterned as electrode 203 on infrabasal plate 202a.Then the upper substrate 202b that, forms adequate thickness on infrabasal plate 202a is with coated electrode 203.
Particularly, can carry out planarizing process on surface, the surface of electrode layer and the surface of upper substrate 202b of infrabasal plate 202a respectively, thereby reduce fully the roughness on described surface, increase surface flatness.
In this example embodiment, can be with this formation of structure infrabasal plate 202a in main body 201, make the top surface of the terminal 204 of through-body 201 can not covered by infrabasal plate 202a.For example, before forming substrate layer 202a, can first form mask layer (not shown) at the top surface of terminal 204, after forming substrate 202a, this mask layer be removed from terminal 204.In addition, can in main body 201, form the infrabasal plate (not shown) of preparation, can remove from main body 201 parts the middle body of the infrabasal plate of this preparation, thereby form an opening (not shown), the top surface of terminal 204 can be come out by this opening.
According to some example embodiment, the thermal stress of described ESC can be absorbed by the resilient coating in described ESC, thereby can fully reduce the crackle being caused by thermal stress, thereby has increased the viability of described ESC.
