It is located between the resistance heating elements 5 shown in FIG. 5 and is in a position where the cooling gas can be directly applied to the insulating layer 14 formed on the surface of the plate-like body 2.
- the heat transfer from the surface close to the surface of the plate-like body 2 having a large thermal conductivity to the plate-like body 2 is larger than that of the surface of the resistance heating element 5. Therefore, the cooling gas sprayed from the nozzle 24 can directly cool the insulating layer 14 on the surface of the plate-like body 2, so that the plate-like body 2 can be efficiently cooled.

Even if the resistance heating element 5 is heated and Z-cooling is repeated, there is no possibility of damaging or contaminating the surface of the resistance heating element 5 even if it flows over the surface, the change with time can be reduced and the durability can be improved.
- the resistance heating element 5 is formed by dispersing conductive particles having noble metal power in a glassy insulating composition, and the resistance heating element 5 is exposed. If the resistance heating element 5 changes over time or the cooling gas directly hits the resistance heating element 5, the resistance heating element 5 may fall off due to thermal strain, but the insulating layer 12 has an action to prevent them. That is, by covering the surface of the resistance heating element 5 with the insulating layer 12, it is possible to alleviate the occurrence of thermal distortion of the resistance heating element 5, and resistance heating occurs even when the wafer heating apparatus 1 is repeatedly heated and forcedly cooled. It is possible to make the surface of the wafer W uniformly heated and to have excellent durability without fear of the resistance value of each part of the body 5 changing.

- a cooling gas such as air is located between the insulating layer 12cd and the insulating layer 12eh) and is injected between the insulating film 12 covering the resistance heating element 5 from the nozzle 24.
- the heat of the plate-like body 2 can be efficiently transferred through the insulating layer 14. Therefore, since the cooling gas injected from the nozzle 24 directly cools the insulating layer 14 on the surface of the plate-like body 2, it becomes possible to cool the plate-like body 2 efficiently, and in a short time the heater section 7 heat can be taken away, and the cooling time of the heater section 7 can be shortened.

- the surface of the disk-shaped wafer W is heated, it is affected by the atmosphere around the wafer W, the wall surface facing the wafer W, and the gas flow. Therefore, in order not to vary the surface temperature of the disc-shaped wafer W, it is preferable to design the periphery of the wafer W, the opposed surface of the upper surface, and the flow of the atmospheric gas to be symmetric with respect to the wafer W. Good.
- the wafer heating device 1 that matches the above-mentioned environment that is symmetric about the center of the wafer W is required, and the mounting surface 3 is divided so as to be centrally symmetric and the resistance heating element is divided. It is preferable to form zone 4.
- the wafer heating apparatus 1 provided with a plurality of resistance heating elements 5 corresponding to a plurality of concentric annular resistance heating element zones, respectively, Since the thickness variation of the symmetric heating element can be corrected by controlling each resistance heating element, the in-plane temperature difference between Ueno and W can be made smaller.
- FIG. 7B is a plan view showing another example of resistance heating element zone 4 in wafer heating apparatus 1 of the second embodiment.
- the resistance heating element zone 4eh is divided into four fan-shaped regions that are divided into four equal parts. More preferable example in which the zones 4e, 4f, 4g, and 4h are used, and the resistance heating element zone 4cd inside is made into the resistance heating element zones 4c and 4d, which are two fan-shaped regions obtained by dividing the ring into two equal parts in the circumferential direction. It is.
- the innermost annular resistance heating element zone 4b is a resistance heating element zone 4b formed of an annular shape, and the resistance heating heat generation outside thereof.
- the body zone 4cd is composed of two fan-like resistance heating element zones 4c and 4d obtained by dividing the ring into two equal parts in the circumferential direction.
- the outer resistance heating element zone 4eh is divided into four parts in the circumferential direction. Dividing into four fan-shaped resistance heating element zones 4e, 4f, 4g, and 4h, the more the outer ring region is divided, the more uniform the surface temperature of the wafer W becomes. Is preferable.

- each resistance heating element 5 is preferably produced by a printing method or the like, and the resistance heating element 5 preferably has a width of 1 to 5 mm and a thickness of 5 to 50 ⁇ m. If the printing surface to be printed at one time becomes large, the printing thickness may not be constant due to the difference in pressure between the squeegee and the screen on the left, right, and back of the printing surface. In particular, when the size of the resistance heating element 5 is increased, the heat generation amount designed by the resistance heating element 5 having different left and right thicknesses may cause a barrack. The calorific value is not preferable because the in-plane temperature difference between Nolac and Ueno and W increases. In order to reduce the temperature variation caused by the variation in the thickness of the resistance heating element, it is effective to divide each resistance heating element 5 having a large outer diameter, which is composed of one resistance heating element.
- the concentric annular resistance heating element zone 4cd excluding the central part of the wafer W mounting surface 3 is divided into two, and a larger annular resistance heating element zone is divided. Since 4eh is divided into four, the printing area of each resistance heating element 5 can be reduced. As a result, the thickness of each part of the resistance heating element 5 can be made uniform, and a subtle temperature difference between the front, back, left and right of the wafer W can be corrected to reduce the surface temperature of the wafer W, which is preferable. Further, in order to finely adjust the resistance value of the band of each resistance heating element 5, it is also possible to adjust the resistance value by forming a long groove with a laser or the like along the resistance heating element.
- the resistance heating elements 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, and 5h shown in FIG. 6 are respectively formed as a first arc portion 51 that is an arc shape and a connection portion 52 that is a folded band. It is composed of It is preferable that the connecting portion 52 has an arc shape rather than a straight shape because the in-plane temperature difference of the wafer can be further reduced.
- the distance S3 between the resistance heating element zone 4cd and the outermost annular resistance heating element zone 4eh is equal to the resistance heating element zone. It is preferable that the distance S2 between the heater 4b and the resistance heating element zone 4cd is larger than S2. In this way, in a configuration having two or three annular resistance heating element zones 4, if the outer spacing S3 is larger than the inner spacing S2, the width S3 of the region where the resistance heating element 5 is not formed. Ring of Therefore, the exposed portion of the surface of the plate-like body 2 that is not covered with the resistance heating element 5 can be made large, and the cooling effect can be increased, which is preferable. In addition, it is preferable because the thermal conductivity of the plate-like body 2 through the insulating layer constituting the exposed portion is increased, the cooling efficiency is improved, and the cooling rate of the heater portion 7 is increased.
- a nozzle 24 whose tip 24 a is projected between the outermost annular resistance heating element zone 4 eh and the inner resistance heating element zone 4 cd.
- the resistance heating element 5 has a large thermal conductivity plate 2 covered by the insulating layer 14 and the insulating layer 12, but the heat transfer from the surface to the plate 2 is large.
- the cooling gas sprayed from the tip 24a of the nozzle 24 directly hits this part, and the heat of the plate-like body 2 can be taken away efficiently, and the temperature of the heater part 7 can be lowered rapidly. It is preferable that there are a plurality of cooling nozzles 24 along the region of the interval S3.
- the heater can be effectively used.
- Part 7 can be cooled. It should be noted that since the temperature at the central portion is difficult to decrease only in the region of the force interval S3 described for the nozzle 24 provided along the region of the interval S3, a plurality of nozzles 24 may be provided on the circumference in the central portion. I like it.
- the surfaces of the insulating layers 12, 14 and Z or the resistance heating element 5 are uneven surfaces. If the surface of the insulating layer 14 facing the tip of the nozzle shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9A or the surface of the insulating layer 12a in FIG. 10 is an uneven surface, the cooling gas injected from the nozzle 24 is injected onto the surface of the insulating layers 14 and 12. Heat is easily transferred to the cooling gas through the insulating layers 14 and 12 of the plate-like body 2 by hitting the uneven surface. That is, heat exchange on the uneven surface by the cooling gas is facilitated, and the effect of cooling the heater section 7 is increased, which is preferable. Further, when the surface of the resistance heating element 5 shown in FIG.

- heat exchange between the cooling gas and the uneven surface 40 is facilitated, and the effect of cooling the heater portion 7 through the uneven surface 40 is greatly preferable.
- the concave and convex surface 40 has a substantially lattice shape, after the cooling gas collides with the concave portion 42, it can contact the side surface of the convex portion 41 and exchange heat, and the cooling gas can flow along the linearly connected groove portion. This is because heat exchange is facilitated by the uneven surface 40. It is preferable that the concave / convex surface 40 has a substantially lattice shape because heat exchange between the concave / convex surface 40 and the cooling gas increases, and it becomes easy to cool the heater portion 7 in a short time.
- the number of the lattice-like grooves is 0.2 to 80, more preferably 0.4 to 40, per lmm width. If the number of grooves is less than 0.2 per lmm width, the cooling effect due to the heat exchange action is small, and if the resistance heating element 4 is repeatedly heated and cooled, the insulating layers 12 and 14 and the resistance heating element 5 are peeled off or cracked. May occur.
- the number of grooves exceeds 80 per lmm, the flow of the cooling gas to the recess 42 is poor and the cooling efficiency may be reduced. Further, the groove force may cause excessive cracking of the insulating layers 12 and 14 from the recess 42 into the resistance heating element 5. Therefore, by making 0.4 to 80 grooves on the uneven surface 40 per lmm, heat exchange between the heater section 7 and the cooling gas becomes easier, and the plate-like body 2 and the insulating layers 12 and 14 and resistance heat generation.

And the surface of the Z or insulating layers 12 and 14 was completed by finding out that an uneven surface, preferably a substantially lattice shape, is effective.

- the resistance heating element 5 itself should also have a substantially lattice shape.

In this way, it is possible to suppress the deterioration damage of the resistance heating element 5 while absorbing the difference in thermal expansion between the plate-like body 2 and the resistance heating element 5 in particular. It can be.
- the ratio (tpZtv) X 100 is less than 102%, the number of temperature increase / decrease tests before cracks that cause poor heat exchange may be less than 4200, which is not preferable.
- the ratio value exceeds 200%, the difference between the convex portions 41 and the concave portions 42 is so large that the temperature difference becomes large, and there is a risk that the number of heating / cooling tests in which cracks occur will decrease.
- the average thickness of the insulating layers 12 and 14 is less than 3 ⁇ m, when the resistance heating element 5 is formed by the printing method, the thickness variation increases to 30% or more, and the surface temperature difference of the wafer W increases. There is a fear.
- the average thickness of the insulating layers 12 and 14 exceeds 60 m, there is a problem that minute cracks are likely to be generated in the insulating layers 12 and 14 due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient from the plate-like body 2.
- the thickness (tv) of the recess can be expressed by an average value of the five locations at the center of each recess 42. Further, the thickness (tp) of the convex portion can be obtained as an average of the five maximum thicknesses of each convex portion 41. Further, the average thickness can be obtained as an average value of the thickness of the concave portion 42 and the thickness of the convex portion 41.

That is, if glass having a thermal expansion coefficient outside the above range is used, thermal expansion with the ceramic forming the plate-like body 2 is preferable. This is because the difference becomes too large, and defects such as cracks and peeling are likely to occur during cooling after baking of the glass.

- the glass of the insulating layer 12 preferably has an alkali content of 2 wt% or less. Although it is effective to lower the viscosity of glass by adding alkali components to glass, there is a problem in durability due to migration of glass components, so the alkali content in the glass of insulating layer 12 is 2% by weight. % Or less, the durability is improved in the durability test when the resistance heating element 5 is heated by applying a DC power source. That is, when the alkali content in the glass of the insulating layer 12 is 2% by weight or less, the lifetime in a continuous durability test at 250 ° C is up to 1000 hours, and when the alkali content is 1% by weight or less, 5000 hours.

- FIG. 14B is a cross-sectional view.
- the resistance heating element 5 is prevented from being damaged by making the surface of the resistance heating element 5 an uneven surface 55. That is, when the resistance heating element 5 is energized to generate heat, the temperature rises rapidly. Due to this rapid temperature change, a thermal stress is generated between the resistance heating element 5 and the plate-like ceramic body 2 due to a difference in temperature and thermal expansion coefficient from the plate-like ceramic body 2, and a large resistance is generated in the resistance heating element 5.

- the characteristics of the glass constituting the insulating layer 60 include a thermal expansion coefficient in a temperature range of 0 ° C to 200 ° C, which has a heat resistant temperature of 200 ° C or higher, which is either crystalline or amorphous. However, it is preferable to appropriately select and use a material having a thermal expansion coefficient in the range of ⁇ 5 ⁇ 10 — 7 Z ° C. to + 5 ⁇ 10 — 7 Z ° C. In other words, if glass with a coefficient of thermal expansion outside the above range is used, the difference in thermal expansion from the ceramics forming the plate-like body 2 becomes too large. Defects tend to occur.

It is not necessary to cover the entire surface of the resistance heating element 5. That is, the resistance heating element 5 and Z or the insulating layer 60 may be formed only in a portion where a stress is locally large and a crack is likely to occur, such as a portion where the coolant is sprayed.
- the resistance heating element 5 and Z or the insulating layer 60 having such a rough lattice-like concavo-convex surface 55, 61 are not thick in their entirety. Since the stress is relaxed, the resistance heating element 5 and the insulating layer 60 do not cause defects such as cracks.

Therefore, the heating time until heating to a predetermined processing temperature and the cooling time until the predetermined processing temperature force is cooled to around room temperature can be shortened, and productivity can be increased. Further, even with a thin plate thickness, the Joule heat of the resistance heating element 5 can be quickly transmitted, and the temperature variation of the mounting surface 3 can be extremely reduced.
- the plate-like body 2 when the plate-like body 2 is formed of a silicon carbide sintered body or an aluminum nitride sintered body, the plate thickness can be reduced even when heat is applied. It is possible to shorten the temperature rise time until it is cooled and the cooling time from the predetermined processing temperature until it is cooled to around room temperature, and it is possible to increase productivity, and the plate-like body 2 is lOWZ (m'K) or more. Because it has a low thermal conductivity, the Joule heat of the resistance heating element 5 can be quickly transmitted even with a thin plate thickness. In addition, the temperature variation of the mounting surface 3 can be extremely reduced. When the thermal conductivity is 10 W / (mK) or less, the temperature rising time until heating to a predetermined processing temperature and the time until cooling from the predetermined processing temperature to near room temperature are gradually increased.
- the thickness of the plate-like body 2 is preferably 2 to 7 mm. If the thickness of the plate-like body 2 is less than 2 mm, the strength of the plate-like body 2 is weakened, and the heating due to the heat generated by the resistance heating element 5 or when the cooling fluid from the nozzle 24 is blown, due to the thermal stress due to the temperature change. Cracks may occur in the plate-like body 2. If the plate thickness t is less than 2 mm, it is difficult to level the temperature variation due to the plate-like body 2 itself because the plate thickness is too thin. Appears as temperature variation on surface 3, making it difficult to equalize the mounting surface 3.
- the heat capacity of the plate-like body 2 increases, so that it takes a long time to stabilize the temperature during heating and cooling.
- the plate thickness exceeds 7 mm
- the plate-like body 2 is a ceramic body such as silicon carbide or aluminum nitride having a high thermal conductivity, the thermal conductivity is small compared to the metal.

- silicon carbide is mainly ⁇ -type or ⁇ -type, silicon carbide may be misaligned.
- the semi-conductive plate-like body 2 and the resistance heating element 5 are insulated.
- the insulating layer glass or resin can be used. If glass is used, its thickness Is less than 100 / zm, the dielectric strength is less than 1.5 kV, and insulation cannot be maintained. Conversely, when the thickness exceeds 400 m, the silicon carbide sintered body that forms the plate-like body 2 is sintered with aluminum nitride. Since the difference in thermal expansion from the body becomes too large, cracks occur and the insulating layer does not function. Therefore, when glass is used as the insulating layer, it is preferable to form the thickness of the insulating layer in the range of 100 to 400 / ⁇ ⁇ , preferably in the range of 200 ⁇ m to 350 ⁇ m.
- the main surface opposite to the mounting surface 3 of the plate-like body 2 has a flatness of 20 / zm or less and a surface roughness from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion with an insulating layer made of glass resin.

More preferably, it is 20-30 mm. This is because the plate surface 2 and the bottomed metal case 19 can easily equalize the mounting surface 3 due to the radiant heat between them, and at the same time have a heat insulating effect on the outside, so that the temperature of the mounting surface 3 is reduced. This is because the time to reach a constant and uniform temperature is shortened.
- the power supply terminal 11 installed in the bottomed case 19 is connected to the power supply part 6 formed on the surface of the plate-like body 2 by pressing it with the elastic body 8. Secure and supply power. This is because if the terminal portion made of metal is embedded in the plate-like body 2, the thermal uniformity is deteriorated due to the heat capacity of the terminal portion. Therefore, as in the present invention, by pressing the power supply terminal 11 with an elastic body to ensure electrical connection, the plate-like body 2 and its bottom Thermal stress due to the temperature difference between cases 19 can be relaxed, and electrical conduction can be maintained with high reliability. Furthermore, an elastic conductor may be inserted as an intermediate layer to prevent the contact from becoming a point contact.

It is preferable to use low-expansion glass with a thermal expansion coefficient of 4.5 X 10 _6 Z ° C or less, which is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the plate-like body 2. This is because it is preferable to use low-expansion glass having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the plate-like body 2 of 4.5 X 10 _6 Z ° C or less.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the plate-like body 2 is close to that of the plate-like body 2. Because it is excellent.
- the content of the metal oxide exceeds 50% of the resistance heating element 5, the adhesion with the plate-like body 2 increases, but the resistance value of the resistance heating element 5 tends to increase. . Therefore, the content of metal oxide is preferably 60% or less.

- the projected point force when the center of the nozzle tip is projected onto the other surface of the plate-like body 2 is preferably from 3 to LOmm.
- the shortest distance to the central heating force resistance heating element 5 is less than 3 mm on the other side, which is the projection surface, a part of the air jetted from the nozzle is part of the resistance heating element 5. It hits the surface. Since the resistance heating element 5 includes the glass layer, the thermal conductivity is small. When heat is conducted from the surface of the resistance heating element 5 to the plate-like body 2, there is a resistance heating element layer having a small heat conduction and the interface between the resistance heating element 5 and the plate-like body 2. The time will be longer. For this reason, even if this part is cooled, the cooling time with poor cooling efficiency increases.
- the nozzle 24 has a diameter of 0.5 to 3. Omm. If the diameter of the nozzle 24 exceeds 3. Omm, the flow rate becomes too slow and the cooling efficiency drops significantly. On the other hand, if the diameter is 0.5 mm or less, the diameter is too small, the pressure loss is large, the flow rate of the cooling gas is reduced, and the cooling efficiency is lowered.
- the cooling gas was at room temperature, and the total flow rate of cooling gas was 120 (liter Z min).
- the nozzle 24 is installed at an angle of 80 to 100 ° with respect to the plate-like body 2. If the angle is set within this range, the injected cooling gas is discharged from the plate-like body 2. It can collide strongly with the water and can be cooled efficiently. If the nozzle 24 is less than 80 ° or more than 100 ° with respect to the plate-like body 2, the injected cooling gas strikes the plate-like body 2 diagonally and advances parallel to the plate-like body 2. Decreasing and not preferable.

- Such a nozzle 24 can stabilize the flow velocity without changing the inner diameter of the injection port due to oxidation due to heat, and is highly reliable without generating gas particles that are harmful to the heat treatment of the wafer. It can be a device.
- the base plate 13 of the case 19 has 5 to 70% of its area.
- the opening 16 is formed. If the area of the opening 16 is less than 5%, the gas injected from the nozzle 24 and the gas to be discharged are mixed in the volume of the case 19 and the cooling efficiency is lowered. If the area of the opening 16 exceeds 70%, a space for holding the power supply terminal 11 and the nozzle 24 cannot be secured. Further, the strength of the case 19 is insufficient, and the flatness of the plate-like body 2 is increased, so that the thermal uniformity, particularly the transient thermal uniformity at the time of temperature rise, is deteriorated.
- the cooling gas force after the heat from the surface of the plate-like body 2 is removed from the nozzle 24 during cooling is retained in the case 19 Without being carried out, the surface of the plate-like body 2 can be efficiently cooled by the cooling gas, which is sequentially discharged from the opening 16 to the outside of the wafer heating device 1 and sprayed from the nozzle 24, so that the cooling time can be shortened.

However, when the plate-like body 2 and the heat-insulating member 18 are in flat contact, the plate-like body 2 and the heat-insulating member 18 are insulated. If the width of the contact portion in contact with the member 18 is 0.1 to 13 mm, the amount of heat of the plate-like body 2 flowing through the heat insulating member 18 to the bottomed metal case 19 can be reduced.
