- FIG. 2 shows the state of charge on the surface of the electrostatic chuck when the electrostatic chuck 106 is not performing plasma processing or when the plasma processing time is relatively short.
- the lower side of FIG. 2 shows the state of charge on the surface of the electrostatic chuck when the residual product Z adheres to the electrostatic chuck 106 due to the plasma treatment for a long time.
- the electrostatic chuck 106 has a structure in which a conductive sheet-like chuck electrode 106a is sandwiched between dielectric members.
- the wafer W is attracted to the electrostatic chuck 106 by the Coulomb force generated by applying a voltage from the DC voltage source 112 to the chuck electrode 106a, and then the etching processing is performed.
- heat transfer gas He is supplied between the back surface of the wafer W and the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106.
- an inert gas is introduced into the chamber and maintained at a predetermined pressure to generate plasma.
- the voltage application to the chuck electrode is stopped, and the plasma charge removal process is performed to remove the charges existing on the electrostatic chuck and the wafer W.
- the support pins 81 are raised to lift the wafer W from the electrostatic chuck 106, and the wafer W is detached from the electrostatic chuck 106.
- an insulating layer of the residual product Z is formed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106 by depositing deposits due to plasma treatment for a long time. Then, charges are accumulated in the insulating layer, and the charges accumulated in the insulating layer remain on the surface layer of the electrostatic chuck 106 even when voltage application to the chuck electrode 106 a is stopped. It is difficult to remove the remaining charge even if the above-described charge removal process is performed. As a result, the support pins 81 are raised in a state where the electrostatic adsorption force due to the residual charges remains, which causes the wafer W to be cracked or misaligned.
- the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106 is formed by protrusions such as convex shapes, the residual product Z is deposited on the protrusion surface of the electrostatic chuck 106. Therefore, the region where charges are accumulated in relation to the oxide film on the back surface of the wafer is the surface of the protrusion, which may be about half the area of the back surface of the wafer. Therefore, when the protrusions are formed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106 as compared with the case where the protrusions on the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106 are not formed, higher density charges are accumulated.
- the plasma itself used for plasma neutralization is generated by high-frequency power that is low enough not to etch the wafer, so the amount of ions and electrons that contribute to neutralization is also neutralized. In many cases, the amount is not reached. As a result, if residual charges accumulate at a higher density on the back surface of the wafer, the residual charges may not be sufficiently removed.
- the torque value of the motor 84 that drives the support pins 81 increases. That is, the torque value can be an index that represents the attractive force that the wafer W is attracted to the electrostatic chuck 106. Further, the torque value is proportional to the voltage applied to the motor 84.
- the state of the attractive force can be grasped.
- the motor voltage value at the time of lift-up of the wafer W is about 0.4 V or more in the motor specification used in the present embodiment
- physical damage such as cracking or chipping of the wafer W is caused. It has been found that the possibility of causing it is high. In this way, it is possible to empirically derive a state in which the wafer W used in the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus is destroyed from the motor voltage value.
- the maximum value of the motor voltage value is about 0.409 V. Therefore, it is understood that there is a high possibility that the wafer W is damaged.
- a gas having a lower ionization energy (a gas having a lower ionization voltage) than the helium gas generally used as a heat transfer gas is applied to the surface of the electrostatic chuck 106 and the back surface of the wafer W. Introduced in between, the space is made high pressure.
- ionization energies shown in the table of FIG. 27 physics dictionary, editor: physics dictionary editorial committee, publisher: Yamazen, publisher: Baifukan Co., Ltd.
- item "I" is the outermost from neutral atoms. Indicates the energy required to extract one electron from the shell.
- a gas with low ionization energy (low ionization voltage) is more likely to exchange electrons.
