- the first high-frequency power supply 31 applies, to the stage 12 , high-frequency power with a frequency of, for example, MHz, which is suitable to generate plasma in the chamber 10 .
- the second high-frequency power supply 32 applies, to the stage 12 , high-frequency power with a frequency of, for example, 0.8 MHz, which is lower than the frequency of the high-frequency power output by the first high-frequency power supply 31 and is suitable to attract ions in the plasma to the wafer W on the stage 12 .
- the stage 12 functions as a table on which the wafer W is placed as well as a lower electrode.
- a shower head 38 is provided on the ceiling of the chamber 10 .
- the shower head 38 functions as an upper electrode that is at a ground potential. With this configuration, the high-frequency power from the first high-frequency power supply 31 is applied to a “capacitor” formed between the stage 12 and the shower head 38 .
- the shower head 38 includes an electrode plate having multiple gas holes 56 a, and an electrode support 58 that detachably supports the electrode plate 56 .
- a gas supply source 62 supplies a gas via a gas supply pipe 64 and a gas inlet 60 a into the shower head 38 .
- the gas is introduced via the gas holes 56 a into the chamber 10 .
- Ring-shaped or concentric magnets 66 are disposed around the chamber 10 to control plasma generated in a plasma generation space between the upper electrode and the lower electrode with a magnetic force.
- a controller 48 includes a CPU, a read-only memory (ROM), and a random access memory (RAM), and controls, for example, an etching process and the temperature of the electrostatic chuck 40 according to procedures defined by recipes stored in, for example, the RAM. Functions of the controller 48 may be implemented either by software or hardware.
- the wafer W held on a conveying arm is carried via an opened gate valve 30 into the chamber 10 .
- the wafer W is held above the electrostatic chuck 40 by pusher pins and is placed on the electrostatic chuck 40 by lowering the pusher pins.
- the gate valve 30 is closed.
- the pressure in the chamber 10 is reduced to a preset value by the evacuation device 28 .
- An electric current is supplied from the direct-current voltage source 42 to the electrode 40 a of the electrostatic chuck 40 to electrostatically attract the wafer W on the electrostatic chuck 40 .
- a gas is introduced in the form of a shower via the shower head 38 into the chamber 10 .
- the introduced gas is ionized and dissociated by high-frequency power, and plasma is generated.
- plasma processing such as plasma etching is performed on the wafer W.
- the wafer W is held on the conveying arm and carried out of the chamber 10 . The above process is repeated to consecutively process multiple wafers W.
- the overall configuration of the semiconductor production apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is described above.
- four heaters 75 are embedded in the electrostatic chuck 40 .
- the heaters 75 may also be disposed in any other part of the stage 12 .
- the number of the heaters 75 may be any value greater than or equal to two.
- the heater power feeding mechanism 100 is provided to prevent the heater wires 72 from interfering with other components of the semiconductor production apparatus 1 , to prevent a problem in assembling or maintaining the semiconductor production apparatus 1 , and to improve work efficiency even when the number of the heaters 75 is large.
- the heater power feeding mechanism 100 of the present embodiment is described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the heater power feeding mechanism 100 of the present embodiment.
- “a” indicates an upper surface of the holding plate 13 and “b” indicates a lower surface of the holding plate 13 according to the present embodiment.
- “c” indicates a feeder assembly As 1 and “d” indicates a feeder assembly As 2 of the heater power feeding mechanism 100 of the present embodiment.
- the heater power feeding mechanism 100 includes multiple assemblies each of which includes multiple heater terminals 71 , multiple heater wires 72 connected to the heater terminals 71 , and an offset structure 73 for offsetting the heater wires 72 from each other.
- “a” indicates an upper surface of the holding plate 13 that corresponds to the A-A section of FIG. 2 .
- Groups of terminals including a number of heater terminals 71 necessary for temperature control and an electrode terminal 76 are arranged on the periphery of the holding plate 13 .
- the periphery of the holding plate 13 on which the groups of terminals are arranged corresponds to an area of the stage 12 where the wafer W is not placed.
- the feeding points of the heaters 75 and the feeding point of the terminal of the electrostatic chuck 40 are located at positions that are closer to the outer edge of the electrostatic chuck 40 than the positions of the heater wires 72 .
- feeder lines such as the heater wires 72 are located at positions offset from the positions of feeder terminals rather than at positions immediately below the feeder terminals.
- the heater terminals 71 and the electrode terminal 76 are disposed at positions that are closer to the outer edge of the electrostatic chuck 40 than an area of the electrostatic chuck 40 on which the wafer W is placed.
- This configuration makes it possible to prevent the Joule heat of the heater terminals 71 from influencing the wafer W, and to improve the in-plane uniformity of the temperature of the wafer W. That is, even when the number of the heater terminals 71 is increased for multi-zone temperature control of the electrostatic chuck 40 , the above configuration makes it possible to maintain the in-plane uniformity of the temperature of the wafer W.
- the offset structure 73 places the heater wires 72 in desired positions by shifting (or offsetting) the heater wires 72 from each other.
- the heater wires 72 are connected to a group of heater terminals 71 .
- the offset heater wires 72 are bundled by a bundling part 80 (see FIG. 2 and “b” of FIG. 3 ) disposed below the holding plate 13 .
- the bundling part is a resin case for bundling the heater wires 72 extending from the offset structure 73 and to be connected to a connector 74 .
- the heater wires 72 bundled by the bundling part 80 are connected to the connector 74 .
- the connector 74 is connected to the feeder line 47 .
- An upper part 74 a of the connector 74 is connected to the bundled heater wires 72 .
- the upper part 74 a and a lower part 74 b of the connector 74 are joined together so that terminals 74 b 1 provided in the lower part 74 b of the connector 74 are inserted into the upper part 74 a of the connector 74 .
- This configuration makes it possible to perform wire connection at the same time as the electrostatic chuck 40 is attached.
- One or more connectors 74 may be provided.
- the positions of the connectors 74 are not limited to those illustrated in FIG. 3 “b”.
- the connectors 74 may be disposed at any positions near the bundling part 80 .
- the heater power feeding mechanism 100 includes two types of feeder assemblies, i.e., the feeder assembly As 1 of FIG. 3 “c” and the feeder assembly As 2 of FIG. 3 “d” (which may be collectively referred to as “feeder assemblies As”).
- the feeder assembly As 1 includes multiple heater terminals 71 , multiple heater wires 72 , and an offset structure 73 .
- the heater terminals 71 are connected to the heater wires 72 .
- the heater wires 72 are offset from each other in a case 73 a.
- the case 73 a may be made of, for example, a resin.
- the heater terminals 71 protrude from the upper surface of the case 73 a.
- the heater wires 72 are shifted (or offset) from each other in the case 73 a, and exit from desired positions in the bottom of the case 73 a.
- the heater wires 72 are connected via the bundling part 80 and the connector 74 to the feeder line 47 . With this configuration, an electric current from the alternating-current power supply 44 is supplied to the heaters 75 via the feeder line 47 , the connector 74 , the heater wires 72 , and the heater terminals 71 .
- the feeder assembly As 2 includes one electrode terminal 76 , multiple heater terminals 71 other than the electrode terminal 76 , one direct current wire 77 , multiple heater wires 72 connected to the heater terminals 71 , and an offset structure 73 .
- the electrode terminal 76 is connected to the direct current wire 77 .
- the wires 72 and 77 are offset from each other in a case 73 b.
- the case 73 b may be made of, for example, a resin.
- the electrode terminal 76 and the heater terminals 71 other than the electrode terminal 76 protrude from the upper surface of the case 73 b.
- the direct current wire 77 and the heater wires 72 are shifted (or offset) from each other in the case 73 b, and exit from desired positions in the bottom of the case 73 b.
- the direct current wire 77 is connected via the bundling part 80 to the feeder line 49 .
- an electric current from the direct-current voltage source 42 is supplied to the electrode terminal 76 via the feeder line 49 and the direct current wire 77 .
- the heater wires 72 are connected via the bundling part 80 and the connector 74 to the feeder line 47 .
- “b” indicates a lower surface of the holding plate 13 that corresponds to the B-B section of FIG. 2 .
- eleven feeder assemblies As 1 and one feeder assembly As 2 which are preassembled, are fixed in the holding plate 13 by, for example, welding. Thus, the feeder assemblies As 1 and As 2 are placed at predetermined positions in the holding plate 13 .
- the heater wires 72 connected to a number of heater terminals 71 necessary for temperature control and the direct current wire 77 connected to the electrode terminal 76 exit from the cases of eleven feeder assemblies As 1 and one feeder assembly As 2 , and are bundled by the bundling part 80 below the holding plate 13 .
- the bundling part 80 has a substantially-annular shape, bundles the wires in a resin case, and guides the wires to the connectors 74 to which the wires are connected.
- a space is formed between the holding plate 13 and the base plate 15 .
- This space houses components (indicated by “Pt” in FIG. 4 ) such as a thermometer and pusher pins for raising and lowering the wafer W when the wafer W is carried into and out of the chamber 10 .
- the electrostatic chuck 40 When the electrostatic chuck 40 is divided into many zones whose temperatures are independently controlled, heaters need to be provided for the respective zones and hence the number of heater wires 72 greatly increases. When the number of heater wires 72 becomes large, the heater wires 72 interfere with other components Pt in the semiconductor production apparatus 1 . This in turn causes a problem in assembling or maintaining the semiconductor production apparatus 1 , and increases the workload of installing the semiconductor production apparatus 1 .
- the heater wires 72 and the direct current wire 77 in each of the feeder assemblies As 1 and As 2 are offset from each other. Also, the offset heater wires 72 and direct current wire 77 are bundled by the bundling part 80 and connected to the connector 74 .
- This configuration reduces the interference of the heater wires 72 and the direct current wire 77 with other components Pt, and makes it possible to prevent a problem in assembling or maintaining the semiconductor production apparatus 1 .
- preassembled feeder assemblies As 1 and As 2 can be attached to predetermined positions in the holding plate 13 from underneath the holding plate 13 . This makes it possible to reduce the time necessary to assemble the heater power feeding mechanism 100 and to easily and quickly connect the heater wires 72 and the direct current wire 77 to the feeder lines. This also makes it possible to improve the efficiency of assembling and maintaining the heater power feeding mechanism 100 .
- the heater terminals 71 and the electrode terminal 76 are disposed at positions that are closer to the outer edge of the electrostatic chuck 40 than an area of the electrostatic chuck 40 on which the wafer W is placed.
- This configuration makes it possible to prevent the Joule heat of the heater terminals 71 from influencing the wafer W, and to improve the in-plane uniformity of the temperature of the wafer W. That is, even when the number of the heater terminals 71 is increased for multi-zone temperature control of the electrostatic chuck 40 , the above configuration makes it possible to maintain the in-plane uniformity of the temperature of the wafer W.
- a heater power feeding mechanism according to the embodiment is described above.
- the present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiment, and variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Also, embodiments may be combined in any appropriate manner.
- the heater feeding mechanism 100 of the above embodiment is configured to control the temperatures of respective zones of the electrostatic chuck 40 each of which includes a heater.
- the heater power feeding mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
- multiple heaters may be embedded in a component (e.g., the holding plate 13 ) other than the electrostatic chuck 40 to divide the holding plate 13 into multiple zones corresponding to the heaters, and the heater power feeding mechanism may be configured to enable multi-zone control of the temperature of the holding plate 13 .
- each of the feeder assemblies As 1 and As 2 of the heater power feeding mechanism 100 includes multiple heater terminals 71 , multiple heater wires 72 , and an offset structure 73 for offsetting the heater wires 72 from each other.
- the number of two types of feeder assemblies and the number of components constituting each feeder assembly are not limited to those described in the above embodiment.
- the heater power feeding mechanism of the present invention may be applied not only to a capacitively-coupled plasma (CCP) apparatus but also to other types of semiconductor production apparatuses.
- CCP capacitively-coupled plasma
- other types of semiconductor production apparatuses may include an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) apparatus, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus using a radial line slot antenna, a helicon wave plasma (HWP) apparatus, and an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma apparatus.
- ICP inductively-coupled plasma
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- HWP helicon wave plasma
- ECR electron cyclotron resonance
- the heater power feeding mechanism of the present invention may be applied not only to a semiconductor production apparatus for processing a wafer, but also to a semiconductor production apparatus for processing a large-size substrate for a flat panel display, an EL element, or a substrate for a solar battery.
