Background
In plasma etching or chemical vapor deposition processes, an electrostatic Chuck (ESC) is often used to fix, support and transport a substrate (Wafer) to be processed. The electrostatic chuck is arranged in the reaction chamber, and adopts an electrostatic attraction mode rather than a mechanical mode to fix the substrate, so that the possible mechanical loss to the substrate can be reduced, and the electrostatic chuck is completely contacted with the substrate, thereby being beneficial to heat conduction.
The conventional electrostatic chuck is mostly applied to clamping a semiconductor/liquid crystal panel. The electrostatic chuck structure is mostly formed by spraying a ceramic coating on a metal substrate to prevent the metal from being corroded by plasma. Although the ceramic coating is corrosion-resistant, the ceramic coating is inevitably corroded with the progress of one time of etching, pollutants in the ceramic overflow, and generated particles pollute the surface of the wafer, thereby influencing the yield of wafer products. In practice, the electrostatic chuck is often repaired and reused to save cost by purchasing a new chuck. Because the electrostatic chuck has a complex structure, the electrostatic chuck comprises a water path and a gas path, and the difficulty of the processing and re-spraying process in the repairing process is higher.

Furthermore, the circular truncated cones are uniformly distributed on the surface of the ceramic layer.
Further, the upper substrate has a dimension larger than a dimension of the lower substrate in a plane parallel to the surface of the electrostatic chuck.
The invention divides the traditional electrostatic chuck into two parts, namely an upper part and a lower part, and the two parts are assembled and fixed into a whole, thereby not only realizing the normal function of the electrostatic chuck, but also reducing the maintenance difficulty in the maintenance process.
Another object of the present invention is to disclose a plasma processing apparatus. The plasma processing device comprises a chamber, wherein the electrostatic chuck in each technical scheme is arranged in the chamber.
It is a further object of the present invention to disclose a method of manufacturing an electrostatic chuck.
The method comprises the following steps:

The significant difference of the present invention over prior art electrostatic chucks is that the electrostatic chuck is divided into upper and lower portions. Because the upper surface of the upper substrate is directly contacted with the semiconductor wafer, the upper substrate has more pollution opportunities in the wafer processing process and short service life, and therefore, when the upper substrate reaches the service life, the invention can only replace the upper substrate without integrally replacing a new electrostatic chuck, thereby saving the cost. When the surface of the upper substrate is damaged but has a maintenance value, a maintenance worker may only maintain the upper substrate. The upper substrate of the electrostatic chuck only has the air passage without a condensing agent passage, so that the number of the pore passages to be blocked in the maintenance process is reduced, the maintenance difficulty and the workload are reduced, and the adverse effects on the lower substrate in the working procedures of polishing, plasma spraying again and the like are avoided.

The beneficial effects of the invention also include:
1. the ceramic layer on the surface of the electrostatic chuck has better compactness and corrosion resistance.
2. The upper base body and the lower base body are fixedly connected in a detachable mode, and the two parts can be separated without damage when maintenance work is facilitated.
3.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, is provided to enable the invention and its various aspects and advantages to be better understood. However, the specific embodiments and examples described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting of the invention.
The term "connected", as used herein, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, is to be construed broadly, as meaning either directly or through an intermediate connection. In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", and the like are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, but do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
The invention provides an electrostatic chuck. The invention divides the traditional electrostatic chuck into an upper part and a lower part, combines the two parts into one through assembly, and works normally.
Fig. 1 to 3 are views illustrating an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the drawings, the electrostatic chuck in the embodiment is divided into an upper substrate 10 and a lower substrate 20. Wherein the upper substrate 10 includes an aluminum substrate 12 and a ceramic layer 11 attached to the surface thereof. The surface of the ceramic layer 11 is distributed with a plurality of truncated cones 111 protruding the surface of the ceramic layer. The plurality of round tables 111 may be randomly distributed on the surface of the ceramic layer. In a preferred embodiment, the truncated cones are uniformly distributed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck. When the wafer/liquid crystal panel is placed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck, the circular table 111 contacts with the wafer/liquid crystal panel, and the ceramic layer accumulates electrostatic charges after being electrified to generate coulomb force to firmly adsorb (also called clamping) the wafer/liquid crystal panel for process treatment.
In a preferred embodiment, gas channels 30 are distributed in the aluminum substrate 12 of fig. 1 to 3, and the upper surface of the aluminum substrate is provided with gas holes 31, wherein the gas holes 31 are communicated with the gas channels 30 inside. As shown in fig. 2, the gas passage 30 is a groove body that linearly diverges from the center to the periphery. In the center of the aluminum substrate 12, a center gas inlet hole 33 is formed to communicate the gas passage 30 with the lower surface, and is communicated with a center gas source 35 through a hole in the center of the lower substrate 20. The ceramic layer 11 has a plurality of air holes 32 distributed on the surface thereof, and the air holes 32 on the ceramic layer 11 correspond to the air holes 31 on the upper surface of the aluminum substrate 12 in position, are vertically through, and communicate with the gas passages 30. The pores 31, 32 have a smaller diameter, also called micropores. At the edge of the surface of the ceramic layer 11, an annular ridge 112 is provided which is higher than the surface of the ceramic layer. The air hole 31, the air hole 32, the air channel 30 and the central air inlet hole 33 form a first air passage and are communicated with a central air source 35. When the electrostatic chuck adsorbs the wafer/liquid crystal panel, inert gas, such as argon, nitrogen, etc., is introduced into the gas channel 30 from the central gas source 35 through the central gas inlet hole 33, and the gas enters the space formed by the surface of the ceramic layer 11 except the circular truncated cone, the lower surface of the wafer and the annular rib 112 from the gas holes 31, 32, and fills the space with the gas to form a gas layer. During heating, the gas layer transfers heat to the wafer/liquid crystal panel, and compared with heat transfer between solids, the gas layer enables the wafer/liquid crystal panel to be heated more uniformly.
The annular ridge 112 seals the gas between the surface of the ceramic layer 11 and the lower surface of the wafer/lcd panel to prevent the gas from overflowing into the plasma processing chamber and adversely affecting the process.
In order to better prevent the gas from overflowing into the chamber, another embodiment of the present invention may arrange the annular ribs 112 in two rows, and a circle of air holes, called edge air holes 41, is arranged on the surface of the ceramic layer located between the two rows of annular ribs 112. An annular gas groove 40 is arranged at the position of the gas hole at the corresponding edge in the aluminum matrix 12, and the surface of the aluminum matrix 12 is provided with the gas hole to communicate the edge gas hole 41 with the annular gas groove 40. The annular air groove 40 is communicated with the edge air holes 41 to form a second air channel. The secondary air channels are supplied separately by an edge air supply 45. The gas pressure of the second gas passage is less than the gas pressure of the first gas passage. When the gas in the first air passage overflows from the inner ring annular rib 112 due to over-pressure or other reasons, the gas enters the second air passage and can be blocked by the outer ring annular rib 112, so that the gas is prevented from entering the chamber. The outer ring annular convex edge plays a role in preventing gas from overflowing to the second layer of protection in the cavity. The diameter of the edge pores 41 is also small and may be referred to as micropores. The plurality of edge air holes 41 can be uniformly distributed in the middle of the two circles of annular ribs.
As shown in fig. 3, the lower substrate 20 includes an aluminum substrate 22. A coolant channel 21 is provided in the aluminum matrix 22. The inlet 23 and the outlet 24 of the coolant channel 21 are provided on the bottom surface of the aluminum substrate 22.
The condensing agent in the condensing agent channel can be water or other liquid which can be used as a cooling agent.
The lower surface of the upper substrate 10 and the upper surface of the lower substrate 20 are subjected to surface polishing, and then the upper substrate and the lower substrate are laminated and fixedly connected into a whole.
It should be noted that the closer the contact surfaces of the upper substrate and the lower substrate of the present invention are bonded, the closer the performance of the electrostatic chuck formed by the two parts fixed together with a complete whole body becomes. In this embodiment, the flatness of the lower surface of the upper substrate 10 and the upper surface of the lower substrate 20 reaches 0.002mm, and the surface roughness is ra0.01, and after the two parts are connected, the conductivity and the heat conductivity of the two parts are basically not different from those of an electrostatic chuck with an integral aluminum base. Practice proves that when the flatness of the lower surface of the upper substrate 10 and the upper surface of the lower substrate 20 is 0.002-0.1mm and the surface roughness is Ra0.01-Ra0.2, the electrostatic chuck fixedly connected into a whole can meet the actual use requirement.
In order to conveniently separate the upper base body and the lower base body without damage during maintenance, the upper base body and the lower base body are fixedly connected in a detachable mode, such as screw connection or clamping connection through other parts.
In order to avoid the damage of the ceramic layer caused by the plasma jet to the substrate accidentally during the use process, in the plane parallel to the surface of the electrostatic chuck, the size of the upper substrate is larger than that of the lower substrate, as shown in fig. 3, D > D, so that the plasma beam can not be jetted to the substrate due to the obstruction of the upper substrate when the plasma beam is used for operating the wafer/liquid crystal panel along the direction F. Namely, the aluminum-based part of the lower part has smaller size than that of the aluminum-based part of the upper part, so that the corrosion of the aluminum-based part caused by the plasma beam splashing on the lower substrate can be effectively prevented.
As a further protection of the susceptor, the present invention applies and covers a ceramic layer on the side surfaces of the susceptor, that is, the side surfaces of the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 20. The ceramic layer can well protect the metal material covered by the ceramic layer.
The thickness of the ceramic layer after spraying is kept in the range of 10-900 μm, the surface roughness is in the range of Ra3-Ra9, and the ceramic layer is finally processed into surface roughness of Ra0.1-3 due to the requirement of an adsorption surface.
In the present invention, the aluminum substrate of the upper substrate and the lower substrate are integrally connected to each other, and then function as an electrode. The aluminum substrate is connected with an external circuit through an electrode joint to form a loop, and high voltage is applied to the electrostatic chuck.
The invention also discloses a plasma processing device. The electrostatic chuck is arranged in a chamber of the plasma processing device.

S11: and welding an aluminum plate on the aluminum block to block the air passage to form an aluminum matrix internally distributed with gas passages.

Pores communicating with gas passages in the aluminum substrate are formed on the upper surface of the ceramic layer and the aluminum substrate, as in S14.
When the circular truncated cone and the annular rib are machined by using a spraying process, the step S13 is firstly carried out, and then the step S14 is carried out, so that adverse effects on the inner wall of the machined hole are avoided in the spraying process; when the circular truncated cone and the annular rib are machined by the machining method, the sequence of step S13 and step S14 may be interchanged.
Because the diameters of the air holes which are processed on the upper surface of the ceramic layer and the aluminum matrix and communicated with the air channel in the aluminum matrix are smaller, the laser drilling mode is easier to realize.
S15: and polishing the lower surface of the upper substrate to finish the manufacturing of the upper substrate.
Forming the lower substrate includes:
s20: and arranging a condensing agent channel communicated with the outside on the surface of one aluminum block, and welding the surface provided with the condensing agent channel with the other aluminum block.
S21: and polishing the upper surface of the lower substrate.
The manufactured upper and lower substrates are stacked and fixedly connected together by a fastening member such as a screw, as by step S30, thereby completing the manufacture of the final electrostatic chuck.
The invention relates to some machining processes, such as drilling a threaded hole in a lower substrate, a hole communicated with a central gas source, a hole for an electrode joint to pass through, drilling a central gas inlet hole in the lower surface of an upper substrate, a screw hole at the edge and the like, belonging to the field of realization of the machining process according to actual needs, and further description is omitted.
When the electrostatic chuck with two annular convex edges is manufactured, the following steps are added in the manufacturing process:
in step S10, a step of forming an annular groove in the edge of the aluminum block is further included;
in step S14, air holes that can communicate with the annular grooves are formed in the surface portion of the ceramic layer between the two annular ridges.
Specifically, in steps S15 and S21, the flatness of the lower surface of the upper substrate and the upper surface of the lower substrate is 0.002 to 0.1mm, and the roughness is Ra0.01 to Ra0.2.
The electrostatic chuck of the invention has the use principle that high voltage is applied to the electrostatic chuck through the electrode joint, a loop is formed through plasma in the cavity, coulomb electrostatic charge is generated on the upper surface of the high-resistance ceramic layer, and the wafer is adsorbed through the electrostatic charge, so that the action of clamping the wafer/liquid crystal panel (namely chuck) is completed.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments described with reference to the drawings are only intended to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
