- the base part, the ceramic base, and the adhesive layer that bonds them expand or contract due to heating by the heating member and plasma, the cooling function of the base part, etc. Stress is generated. Due to these stresses, the ceramic base cannot be sufficiently fixed to the base portion, resulting in misalignment or the like.
- an adhesive layer that does not have heat resistance in a flexible high temperature region does not have sufficient heat resistance, and thus dissolves or decomposes in a high temperature environment such as 200 ° C. or higher. For this reason, even when an adhesive layer having insufficient heat resistance is used, the ceramic base cannot be sufficiently fixed to the base portion, resulting in misalignment or the like.
- heat resistance of the adhesive layer means that the adhesive layer does not dissolve or decompose with respect to applied heat and can maintain a certain state.

For this reason, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the first adhesive layer even under a high temperature environment. That is, there is no problem that the in-plane temperature uniformity is lowered. Moreover, since the first ceramic plate and the second ceramic plate are ceramics, there is no significant difference in their respective thermal expansion coefficients. Therefore, even if the first ceramic plate and the second ceramic plate are bonded via the first adhesive layer lacking in flexibility, they do not peel from each other.
- the bonding interface between the second ceramic plate and the cooling base portion that is far from the heating member and close to the cooling base portion is bonded by a flexible second bonding layer. Since the heat generated in the heating member is transmitted to the second adhesive layer via the first adhesive layer and the second ceramic plate, the temperature is sufficiently lowered when the heat is transmitted to the second adhesive layer. As a result, even when the second adhesive layer having lower heat resistance than the first adhesive layer is used, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the second adhesive without being dissolved or decomposed.
- the Young's modulus of the second adhesive layer is smaller than the Young's modulus of the first adhesive layer.
- the heat transfer coefficient of the first and second adhesive layers may be 1/2 or less of the heat transfer coefficient of the second ceramic plate.

- the heat transfer coefficient of the first and second adhesive layers is low, the generated heat is difficult to transfer between the first and second adhesive layers and the second ceramic plate. That is, the temperature of the second adhesive layer can be suppressed from becoming high.
- the heat transfer coefficient of the second ceramic plate is high, it is possible to improve the heat uniformity due to the heat transfer in the in-plane direction and the heat exhaustion of the generated heat.

- the thermal uniformity can be improved.
- production of position shift etc. can be suppressed by fitting a 1st ceramic plate and a 2nd ceramic plate with 2 steps
- the exposure of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer to the surface irradiated with plasma in a process such as etching is reduced, and the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are deteriorated due to deterioration or the like. Consumption can be suppressed.

- the heat unevenness generated in the heating member can be compensated for by the auxiliary heating member. That is, the thermal uniformity of the electrostatic chuck device can be improved.
- the electrostatic chuck device may be composed of a plurality of members from which the heating member is separated, and each may be individually driven. Further, the second ceramic plate may be divided in a heat transfer manner in accordance with a region where the temperature of the separated heating member can be individually controlled.
- the temperature of the separated heating member can be controlled for each region, and the thermal uniformity of the electrostatic chuck device can be improved.
- the second ceramic plate is thermally divided in accordance with this region, heat conduction in the in-plane direction is suppressed through the second ceramic plate, and temperature controllability for each region is achieved. Can be increased.
- heat conduction in the in-plane direction is allowed in the concentric direction (circumferential direction), but the heat conduction in the radial direction can be a factor in inhibiting thermal uniformity, so the regions are concentrically divided. It is preferable to do.
- a third adhesive layer having higher heat resistance than the second adhesive layer may be interposed between the second ceramic plate and the second adhesive layer.
- One or more ceramic plates may be interposed between the second ceramic plate and the second adhesive layer.
- the second adhesive layer can be prevented from reaching a high temperature. If the temperature of the second adhesive layer is not increased, the heat resistance of the second adhesive layer can be maintained, and occurrence of misalignment or the like and deterioration of the second adhesive layer can be suppressed. Further, since the third adhesive layer is considered to have a higher temperature than the second adhesive layer, it is preferable that the third adhesive layer has higher heat resistance than the second adhesive layer. Further, when one or more ceramic plates are interposed, each ceramic plate is preferably bonded via a third adhesive layer or the like having higher heat resistance than the second adhesive layer.

静電吸着用内部電極13の材料は載置板11及び支持板12に使用する材料との熱膨張差や耐熱性などを考慮して選定される。例えば、静電吸着用内部電極13は、酸化アルミニウム-炭化タンタル(Al2O3-Ta4C5)導電性複合焼結体、酸化アルミニウム-タングステン(Al2O3-W)導電性複合焼結体、酸化アルミニウム-炭化ケイ素(Al2O3-SiC)導電性複合焼結体、窒化アルミニウム-タングステン(AlN-W)導電性複合焼結体、窒化アルミニウム-タンタル(AlN-Ta)導電性複合焼結体、酸化イットリウム-モリブデン(Y2O3-Mo)導電性複合焼結体等の導電性セラミックス、あるいは、タングステン(W)、タンタル(Ta)、モリブデン(Mo)等の高融点金属や、銀(Ag)、炭素(C)等を使用することができる。
厚みが0.1μmを下回ると、充分な導電性を確保することができず、一方、厚みが100μmを越えると、この静電吸着用内部電極13と載置板11及び支持板12との間の熱膨張率差に起因して、この静電吸着用内部電極13と載置板11及び支持板12との接合界面にクラックが入り易くなるからである。
このような厚みの静電吸着用内部電極13は、スパッタ法や蒸着法等の成膜法、あるいはスクリーン印刷法等の塗工法により容易に形成することができる。
内部電極端子15のうち取出し電極15A、第1引き出し電極15C、第2引き出し電極15Eの材料は、耐熱性に優れた導電性材料であれば特に制限されるものではないが、熱膨張係数が静電吸着用内部電極13、支持板12及び後述する第2のセラミックプレートの熱膨張係数に近似したものが好ましい。例えば、静電吸着用内部電極13を構成している導電性セラミックス、あるいは、タングステン(W)、タンタル(Ta)、モリブデン(Mo)、ニオブ(Nb)、コバール合金等の金属材料が好適に用いられる。第1導電性接着材15Bは、耐熱性を有する必要がある。そのため、導電性フィラー等を用いて導電性が付与されたポリイミド樹脂等を好適に用いることができる。第2導電性接着材15Dは、柔軟性が必要となるため、導電性フィラー等を用いて導電性が付与されたシリコーン樹脂等を好適に用いることができる。このように、取出し電極15A、第1引き出し電極15C及び第2引き出し電極15Eを、第1導電性接着材15B及び第2導電性接着材15Dで繋ぐことで、静電吸着用内部電極13から内部電極端子15が熱応力により外れてしまうことを抑制することができる。
加熱部材20は、第1のセラミックプレート10の第2の面10bに接着層21を介して所定のパターンで配設固定されている。加熱部材20は、幅の狭い帯状の金属材料を蛇行させた1つの連続した帯状の部材である。帯状の部材の両端部には、図1で示す給電用端子22が溶接等により接続され、給電端子22は、絶縁性を有する碍子23により冷却ベース部60に対して絶縁されている。なお、給電用端子22は 第2のセラミックプレート40と冷却ベース部60との熱膨張差を緩和できる、金属製のより線等による柔構造部(図視略)を有している。
加熱部材20の厚みが0.2mmを超えると、加熱部材20のパターン形状が板状試料Wの温度分布として反映され、板状試料Wの面内温度を所望の温度パターンに維持することが困難になる。
また、加熱部材20を一定の厚みとすることで、加熱部材20の発熱量も加熱面全域で一定とすることができる。これにより、第1のセラミックプレート10の第1の面10aにおける温度分布を均一化できる。
加熱部材20を非磁性金属で形成することで、静電チャック装置1を高周波雰囲気中で用いても加熱部材20が高周波により自己発熱しない。したがって、高周波雰囲気中であっても、板状試料Wの面内温度を所望の一定温度または一定の温度パターンに維持することが容易となる。
接着層21は、シート状またはフィルム状の接着性樹脂である。加熱部材20に直接接触する部分であり、200℃以上の高熱となるため高い耐熱性が必要であり、絶縁性を有するものであることが好ましい。そのため、ポリイミド樹脂等を採用することができる。
接着層21の厚みは5μm以上100μm以下が好ましく、10μm以上50μm以下であることがより好ましい。この接着層21の厚みが10μm以上の場合、接着層21の面内の厚みのバラツキは10μm以内が好ましい。接着層21の面内の厚みのバラツキが10μmを超えると、第1のセラミックプレート10と加熱部材20との面内間隔に10μmを超えるバラツキが生じる。その結果、加熱部材20から第1のセラミックプレート10に伝達される熱の面内均一性が低下し、第1のセラミックプレート10の載置面における面内温度が不均一となる虞がある。
第1の接着層30は、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40の間に介在する。第1の接着層30は、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40を接着一体化する。また、第1の接着層30は、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40のそれぞれの熱膨張率差に起因して、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40との界面に生じる熱応力を緩和する。
この熱応力は、第1のセラミックプレート10及び第2のセラミックプレート40の熱膨張率差に起因して生じる。しかしながら、第1のセラミックプレート10及び第2のセラミックプレート40は互いにセラミックであるため、それぞれの熱膨張率にそれほど大きな差はない。そのため、第1の接着層30に柔軟性が低い材料を用いても、十分高い接着性を維持することができ、位置ずれ等の問題を生じさせない。
このような耐熱性を有し、第1のセラミックプレート10と第2のセラミックプレート40間に生じる応力を緩和できる第1の接着層を構成する材料としては、例えば、ポリイミド樹脂等を採用できる。
第1の接着層30の厚みが薄すぎると、加熱部材20で生じた熱がすぐに第2のセラミックプレート40に伝達し、冷却ベース部60に至るまでに十分温度を低下することが難しくなる。一方で、第1の接着層30の厚みが厚くなると、第1の接着層30の柔軟性が低い場合に、硬く厚い層が接着界面に形成されることとなるため、応力により生じる歪を十分に緩和することができなくなり、位置ずれや剥離等の問題を生じる恐れが高くなる。
また第1の接着層30の厚みが厚くなると、冷却ベース部60への熱伝達性が低下するため、冷却特性に劣化が生じる。
第1の接着層30の熱伝導率の具体的な値としては、0.10W/mK~0.50W/mKであることが好ましい。
スペーサー31は、特に制限されるものではないが、第1の接着層30との熱膨張率差に伴う応力の発生及び熱伝導率差による局所的な温度ムラの発生を抑制する観点より、接着層30と熱膨張率及び熱伝導率が近似し、高温でも高い剛性率を有するポリイミド等を用いることが好ましい。
第2のセラミックプレート40は、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20に、第1の接着層30を介して接着される。
第2の接着層50は、第2のセラミックプレート40と冷却ベース部60の間に介在する。第2の接着層50は、第2のセラミックプレート40と冷却ベース部60を接着一体化する。また第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40の熱膨張率差に起因して生じる、第1のセラミックプレート10及び加熱部材20と第2のセラミックプレート40界面の熱応力を緩和する。
冷却ベース部60は、第2のセラミックプレート40と第2の接着層50を介して接着し、少なくとも第2のセラミックプレート40を冷却する。第2のセラミックプレート40を冷却することで、第2のセラミックプレート40に接着された第1のセラミックプレート10及び板状試料Wを所望の温度に調整することができる。
冷却ベース部60としては、例えば、内部に冷媒を流動させる流路(図示略)が形成された液冷ベース等が好適である。
冷却ベース部60を構成する材料としては、熱伝導性、導電性、加工性に優れた金属、またはこれらの金属を含む複合材であれば特に制限はなく、例えば、アルミニウム(Al)、アルミニウム合金、銅(Cu)、銅合金、ステンレス鋼(SUS) 等が好適に用いられる。冷却ベース部50の少なくともプラズマに曝される面は、アルマイト処理が施されているか、あるいはアルミナ等の絶縁膜が成膜されていることが好ましい。
また、第2の接着層50は、加熱部材20から遠く、冷却ベース部60に近い構成とすることができるため、第2の接着層50が劣化することを抑制することができる。また第2の接着層50のヤング率は、第1の接着層30のヤング率よりも小さいため、第2のセラミックプレート40と冷却ベース部60の熱膨張率差が大きくても、十分応力緩和することができる。
したがって、上記構成を用いることで、200℃以上の高温でも使用することが可能な耐熱性の高い静電チャック装置1を提供することができる。
図2は、第2実施形態の静電チャック装置2を模式的に示す断面図である。第2の実施形態の静電チャック装置2は、冷却ベース部60が第1凹部61を有する。第1凹部61には、少なくとも第1の接着層30及び第2のセラミックプレート40が嵌合されている。また第1のセラミックプレート10は、第2の面10bの周囲を囲む土手部18を有する。この土手部18及び第2の面10bによって形成される第2凹部17には、さらに第1の接着層30を介して第2のセラミックプレート40が嵌合されている。
すなわち、第1のセラミックプレート10の第2の面10bに、第2凹部17が形成されている。さらにこの第2凹部17に、加熱部材20及び第1の接着層50を介して、第2のセラミックプレート40が嵌合され一体化した部材が形成されている。そして、この一体化した部材が、冷却ベース部60の第1凹部61に嵌合されている。したがって、第2の実施形態の静電チャック装置2は、第1凹部61及び第2凹部17を有している点が第1の実施形態の静電チャック装置1と異なっている。
またこの場合の第1のセラミックプレート10の厚みは、3.0mm以上7.0mm以下であることが好ましい。ここで第1のセラミックプレート10の厚みとは、第1のセラミックプレート10の一方の面からもう一方の面までの最大の厚みを有している部分の厚みを意味する。3.0mm以上であれば、第2凹部17が形成されても十分な強度を維持することができる。一方、7.0mm以下であれば、第1のセラミックプレート10の熱容量が大きくなり過ぎて、載置される板状試料Wの熱応答性が劣化する。
ここで、第1のセラミックプレート10は加熱部材20に隣接し、さらにプラズマ照射されるため、第2のセラミックプレート40の温度が、第1のセラミックプレート10より高くなることは無い。そのため、第1のセラミックプレート10と第2のセラミックプレート40の熱膨張率が同一でも、膨張率は第1のセラミックプレート10の方が大きくなる。したがって、第1のセラミックプレート10と第2のセラミックプレート40の熱膨張率は同一でもよい。
図3は、第3実施形態の静電チャック装置3を模式的に示す断面図である。第3実施形態の静電チャック装置3は、第2のセラミックプレート40の第1セラミックプレート10側の一面40aに、複数の補助加熱部材70が固定されている点が、第1実施形態の静電チャック装置1と異なる。
補助加熱部材70は、接着層71を介して、第2のセラミックプレート40の第1セラミックプレート10側の一面40aに固定されている。補助加熱部材70は、加熱部材20と同様に幅の狭い帯状の金属材料を蛇行させた帯状の部材である。補助加熱部材70は、加熱部材20で生じた熱の不均一を補償するための部材であり、複数の部材からなる。
複数の補助加熱部材70は、板状試料Wの載置面側から平面視した際に、例えば、図4のように10分割された領域毎に配置することができる。特に、加熱部材20が同心円状に分割されている場合は、図4に示すように同心円状の領域を径方向にいくつか分割した構成とすることが好ましい。また図4では、載置面を10分割して領域毎に補助加熱部材70を配置しているが、当該構成に限られず、より複数に分割してもよく、またより少ない分割数としてもよい。これらの複数の補助加熱部材70はそれぞれ独立して制御することができる。また補助加熱部材70は互いに絶縁された多層に構成されていてもよい。また層毎に、分割されている領域が異なっていてもよい。補助加熱部材70が多層に構成され、かつそれぞれの層で分割されている領域が異なっている場合、一層では補助加熱できなかった領域毎の境界部分を互いに補償することができる。
静電チャック装置3は、補助加熱部材70を有するため、静電チャック装置3に載置される板状試料Wの面内の温度均一性を高めることができる。
補助加熱部材70に電力を供給することで、電力が供給された領域が、冷却ベース部60により冷却されることを制限することができる。その結果、補助加熱部材70に電力を供給した領域の温度が下がりにくくなり、面内の均熱性を制御することができる。すなわち、補助加熱部材70は、温度変化を制御できる程度の電力を供給すれば機能することができ、加熱部材70程の電力供給量を要しない。したがって、補助加熱部材70は、加熱部材20ほど高温になることは無い。
図5は、補助加熱部材70の断面模式図を示す。補助加熱部材70は、絶縁層(接着層71)を挟んで、通電配線76と発熱配線77を有する。図5は断面模式図であるため、発熱配線77が分断されているように図示されているが、発熱配線77は帯状の金属材料が蛇行してなり、平面視では一体となっている。通電配線76と発熱配線77は、接続部78を介して、電気的に接続されている。そのため、通電端子74から供給された電気が、通電配線76に流れ、接続部78を介して発熱配線77に供給される。発熱配線77は、電気が流れることで発熱する。発熱配線77には、接続部78を介して取出し端子72が接続され、補助加熱部材70が一つの回路を構成している。このとき絶縁層は、高い絶縁性を求められるため、ポリイミドシートを用いることが多い。この場合、接着層71は補助加熱部材70を構成する絶縁層を兼ねることもできる。この補助加熱部材70の通電配線76としては、銅等の電気伝導性の高い金属を用いることができ、発熱配線77は加熱部材20と同様の金属を用いることができる。中でもTiを用いることが好ましい。なお、通電端子74、取出し端子72は、冷却ベース部60との絶縁性を維持するため、その周りを碍子73、75で被覆されていてもよい。
図6は、第4実施形態の静電チャック装置4を模式的に示す断面図である。第4実施形態の静電チャック装置4は、第1の実施形態の静電チャック装置1の好ましい例として記載されているように、加熱部材20が分離された複数の部材からなり、それぞれが個々に制御可能である。また、分離された加熱部材20が個々に温度制御可能である領域に合せて、第2のセラミックプレート40が伝熱的に分割されている点も、第1の実施形態の静電チャック装置1と異なる。
ここで、伝熱的に分割とは、制御可能である領域間の熱伝達が、領域内の熱伝達より低い状態をさし(領域間に溝もしくは セラミックプレートより熱伝導率の低い物質の介在)、必ずしもセラミックプレートが分割されている場合に限らない。
図7は、第5実施形態の静電チャック装置5を模式的に示す断面図である。第5実施形態の静電チャック装置5は、第2のセラミックプレート40と第2の接着層50の間に、第2の接着層50より耐熱性の高い第3の接着層80が介在し、さらに第2のセラミックプレート40と第2の接着層50の間に、一つ以上のセラミックプレート90が介在している点が第1実施形態の静電チャック装置1と異なる。
図7では、第2のセラミックプレート40と第2の接着層50の間に、第3の接着層80及びセラミックプレート90が共に介在した構造を図示したが、いずれか一方のみが介在する構成でも良い。
セラミックプレート90が複数介在する場合は、第2の接着層50より耐熱性の高い接着層91等を介して接合していることが好ましい。
次に、この静電チャック装置1の製造方法について説明する。第1実施形態の静電チャック装置1~第5実施形態の静電チャック装置5の製造方法は、第1実施形態の静電チャック装置を基に製造方法を説明し、違いを有する点のみその他の実施例の静電チャック装置について言及する。
取出し電極15Aを金属とした場合、高融点金属を用い、研削法、粉末治金等の金属加工法等により形成する方法等が挙げられる。
この塗布法としては、均一な厚さに塗布する必要があることから、スクリーン印刷法等を用いることが望ましい。また、他の方法としては、蒸着法あるいはスパッタリング法により上記の高融点金属の薄膜を成膜する方法、上記の導電性セラミックスあるいは高融点金属からなる薄板を配設して静電吸着用内部電極13とする方法等がある。
また、ホットプレスにおける一軸加圧の際の圧力は5MPa~10MPaが好ましく、温度は1400℃~1850℃が好ましい。
また、静電吸着用内部電極13は、高温、高圧下でのホットプレスで再焼成され、支持板12の固定孔に密着固定される。
そして、これら接合体の上下面、外周、及びガス穴等を機械加工し、第1のセラミックプレート10とする。
この接着層21上に、厚みが0.2mm以下、好ましくは0.1mm以下の一定の厚みを有する、例えば、チタン(Ti)薄板、タングステン(W)薄板、モリブデン(Mo)薄板等の非磁性金属薄板を貼着し、この非磁性金属薄板をフォトリソグラフィー法により、所望のヒータパターンにエッチング加工し、加熱部材20とする。
これにより、第1のセラミックプレート10の第2の面10bに所望のヒータパターンを有する加熱部材20が形成される。
その後、凹部の底面に沿って、プレートを切断することで、断熱層41を介して複数に分割された第2のセラミックプレート40を作製することができる。
まず第2のセラミックプレート40のいずれか一面に通電配線76を形成する。通電配線76の形成は、特に限定されるものではないが、マスクを介して金属膜を蒸着、スパッタ等することで実現できる。また蒸着やスパッタ等後に、パターンエッチングしてもよい。
次に、ポリイミド樹脂等の接着層(絶縁層)71を貼着する。その後、接着層71の接続部78に対応する箇所に穴を開けた後、発熱配線77となる金属を、マスクを介して蒸着、スパッタ等する。通電端子74及び取出し端子72は、給電端子22と同様の方法で作製することができる。
これらを接着する前に、加熱部材20の接合される面上にスペーサー31を配置し、第1のセラミックプレート10と第2のセラミックプレート40の間隔を予め設定しておくことが好ましい。スペーサー31を配置後の第1のセラミックプレート10の第2の面10bに、例えばポリイミド樹脂からなる第1の接着層30を構成する材料を塗工する。第1の接着層30を構成する材料を塗工後に、第2のセラミックプレート40の一面40aを押し当て、加熱する。加熱により第1の接着層30を構成する材料が硬化し、第1の接着層30が形成される。このようにして、第1のセラミックプレート10と第2のセラミックプレート40が、間に加熱部材20を有した状態で接着された部材が作製される。
この冷却ベース部60の少なくともプラズマに曝される面には、アルマイト処理を施すか、あるいはアルミナ等の絶縁膜を成膜することが好ましい。
次いで、冷却ベース部60に、内部電極端子15の第2取り出し電極15E、給電端子22、通電端子74及び取出し端子72が挿通されるための貫通孔を形成する。
第1のセラミックプレート、加熱部材、第2のセラミックプレートの形状は円形であり、300mm直径を有する。冷却ベース部の形状は円形であり、400mm直径を有する。
第1のセラミックプレートとしでは酸化アルミニウム-炭化ケイ素(Al2O3-SiC)複合焼結体を用いた。セラミックプレートの厚みは3mmである。加熱部材としては分離され相互に独立した複数の部材からなり、チタン(Ti)薄板を用いた。加熱部材は、厚みが0.1mmの厚みを有する。
加熱部材が300℃の温度に加熱された場合において、加熱により生じた熱が冷却ベース部まで伝達する際に各部材が取りうる温度範囲を熱伝達計算により求めた。
このとき、静電チャック装置は、加熱部材側から、第1の接着層、第2のセラミックプレート、第3の接着層、第2の接着層、冷却ベース部と言う構成にし、冷却ベース部の加熱部材と反対側にチラーにより冷却水を通水した(図示略)。
第1の接着層としてはポリイミド樹脂、第2のセラミックプレートとしてはアルミナ(Al2O3)板、第3の接着層としてはポリイミドシート、第2の接着層としてはシリコーン樹脂、冷却ベース部材としてはアルミを用いた。また加熱部材の温度は300℃とし、チラーの温度は100℃とした。なお、第1のセラミックプレートは、加熱部材と冷却ベース部間の温度に大きな影響を与えないため無視した。
各部材の厚みは、第1の接着層が0.2mm、第2のセラミックプレートが1.5mm、第3の接着層が0.1mm、第2の接着層が0.2mm、冷却ベース部が5.0mmとした。このとき、各部材の単位面積当たりの熱伝達率を用いて、熱が冷却ベース部に伝達することによって各部材が取りうる温度を計算し、以下の表1にまとめた。
