ELECTROSTATIC CHUCK ASSEMBLY AND ELECTROSTATIC CHUCK
MANUFACTURING METHOD
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0099402, filed on August 24, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety .
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Field of the Disclosure
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electrostatic chuck assembly and an electrostatic chuck manufacturing method, and more particularly, to an electrostatic chuck assembly and an electrostatic chuck manufacturing method, which may simplify the wiring of a carrier body in which the electrostatic chuck is installed.
Description of Related Art
[0002] In general, a substrate indicates a Flat Panel Display (FPD) such as a Plasma Display Panel (PDP), a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) , and an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) , a wafer for a semiconductor, a glass for a photo mask, etc.
[0003] Although the substrate as the flat panel display (FPD) and the substrate as the wafer for the semiconductor are different from each other in terms of materials and uses thereof, etc., a series of processing processes for the substrates, for example, processes such as exposure, development, etching, strip, rinse, and cleaning, are substantially very similar, and these processes progress sequentially to manufacture the substrate.
[0004] The OLED, which has recently been in the spotlight among the flat panel displays (FPDs) , is an ultra-thin display device that implements a color image by self emission of an organic material, and is attracting attention as a next-generation promising display device because of its simple structure and a high light efficiency Such an OLED includes an anode, a cathode, and organic films interposed between the anode and the cathode. Here, the organic films may include at least a light emitting layer, and further include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer in addition to the light emitting layer .
[0005] The OLED may be classified into a polymer organic light emitting diode and a low molecular organic light emitting diode according to an organic film, in particular, a material constituting the light emitting layer. In order to implement full color, the light emitting layer should be patterned, and a method for manufacturing a large-sized OLED includes a direct patterning method using a mask, a method that applies a Laser Induced Thermal Imaging (LITI) method, a method using a color filter, etc.
[0006] Meanwhile, a so-called horizontal upward deposition method for horizontally arranging a substrate in a chamber and a patterned mask and then depositing for manufacturing the large-sized OLED by applying the mask method may be applied. This horizontal upward deposition method is a method for mutually aligning the substrate and the mask arranged horizontally with respect to a carrier main body bottom surface that moves the substrate in the chamber, then bonding them, and depositing the organic material on the large-sized substrate in a horizontal state.
[0007] As the OLED become larger in size, a mask is becoming larger in size and higher in weight, and in this case, sagging of the substrate or the mask may occur in the direction of gravity, and much consideration may be required to closely contact the mask to the substrate.
[0008] Meanwhile, a vertical deposition system for mutually aligning the substrate and the mask arranged horizontally with respect to the bottom surface of the carrier main body and then bonding them, followed by rotating the carrier main body to stand it vertically and depositing the organic material may be considered.
[0009] As described above, an electrostatic chuck is used to install the substrate in the chamber. The electrostatic chuck is a structure of applying a predetermined voltage to an adsorbing electrode formed by stacking on the top surface of a metal base adsorbing a semiconductor substrate or a glass substrate, etc. to form an electric charge or an electric field on the surface. As described above, the electric force formed on the surface of the electrostatic chuck causes the substrate to be adsorbed on the top surface of the electrostatic chuck.
[0010] if foreign substance such as particle is interposed therebetween or the substrate is not completely flattened in the first place when the substrate is held by the electrostatic chuck, a part of the substrate may not be normally adsorbed. In addition, a part of the adsorbing electrode included in the electrostatic chuck may be disconnected or a part of an insulating layer or a dielectric layer covering the adsorbing electrode may be damaged, thereby causing poor absorption of the substrate.
[0011] A substrate sensor is provided to confirm whether the substrate is normally adsorbed or to monitor it upon occurrence of the problems such as the breakage, slip, etc. of the substrate during the movement of the substrate. The substrate sensing sensor may be prepared under the carrier main body in which the electrostatic chuck is installed. In addition, the substrate sensing sensor may be installed on the carrier main body to receive power from a power source apparatus for supplying power to the electrostatic chuck.
[0012] For this purpose, the substrate sensing sensor and the power source apparatus are connected by a cable. The cable may be installed on the carrier main body by a Groove method for installing by cutting the carrier main body surface .
[0013] When the substrate sensing sensor and the power source apparatus are connected by the cable, much consideration may be required to prevent interference between the peripheral electrode installed on the carrier main body and the cable. Furthermore, in the case of the vertical deposition system, the thickness of the carrier main body may be made relatively thin, and the rigidity of the carrier main body may be lowered when the surface of the carrier main body is cut.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS [0042] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows. However, in describing the present disclosure, descriptions of already known function or configuration will be omitted to clarify the gist of the present disclosure.
[0043] FIG. 1 is a plane diagram illustrating an electrostatic chuck, on which a signal line of a substrate sensing part for sensing whether a substrate is adsorbed has been embedded, and a carrier main body on which the electrostatic chuck has been installed according to the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the section of the electrostatic chuck according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0044] First, referring to FIG. 1, an electrostatic chuck assembly of the present embodiment includes an electrostatic chuck 20 for bonding a substrate (S, see FIG. 4) by generating an electrostatic force, a power source apparatus 12 for supplying power to the electrostatic chuck 20 on the top surface thereof, a carrier main body 10 on which the electrostatic chuck 20 and the power source apparatus 12 are installed, one or more substrate sensing parts 30 for sensing whether the substrate is adsorbed to the electrostatic chuck 20, and a signal line 35 for connecting the power source apparatus 12 with the substrate sensing part 30 in order to supply power to the substrate sensing part 30 from the power source apparatus 12.
[0045] A substrate processing apparatus in which such an electrostatic chuck assembly is used may be any apparatus for performing the processing for the substrate, such as a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) apparatus, a sputtering apparatus, an ion implantation apparatus, an etching apparatus, or an evaporation deposition apparatus.
[0046] Preferably, the electrostatic chuck 20 according to the present embodiment is used in an apparatus in which the process is performed at a very low pressure compared to atmospheric pressure. In addition, the electrostatic chuck 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with an example including an electrode layer composed of bipolar in which a pulse signal appears + and -, alternately .
[0047] In addition, the electrostatic chuck 20 according to the present embodiment is preferably used in the evaporation deposition apparatus for forming a deposition film on the substrate by a deposition material evaporated from an evaporation source as a manufacturing apparatus such as an OLED substrate.
[0048] In addition, the electrostatic chuck 20 according to the present embodiment may be conceived in various shapes as a component for generating an electrostatic force for adsorbing and fixing the substrate. The electrostatic chuck 20 may be formed on the carrier main body 10, and may include a dielectric layer in which an electrode layer, to which DC power is applied, has been formed.
[0049] Referring to FIG. 2, a signal line 35 for connecting a substrate sensing part 30 and the power source apparatus 12 may be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20 according to the present embodiment. Specifically, the electrostatic chuck 20 may include a base member 21 of a metal material, a lower dielectric layer 23 formed on the base member 21, an electrode layer 25 formed by being deposited on the lower dielectric layer 23, the signal line 35 formed on the same line as the electrode layer 25, and an upper dielectric layer 27 formed on the electrode layer 25 and the signal line 35 so as to include the electrode layer 25 and the signal line 35.
[0050] The electrode layer 25 is made of a material such as tungsten in the upper dielectric layer 27, and operates as a component electrically connected with DC power to generate an electrostatic force. The electrode layer 25 may be formed by using a plasma spraying method, a silk screen, etc. In addition, one or more electrode layers 25 may be formed according to an adsorption method of the substrate.
[0051] The upper and lower dielectric layers 23, 27 are components having a dielectric constant capable of generating an electrostatic force generated by applying power to the electrode layer 25. The upper and lower dielectric layers 23, 27 may be formed by one of various methods such as plasma spraying from a ceramic material.
[0052] The carrier main body 10 may be provided at the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20. The carrier main body 10 is a configuration capable of transferring the substrate in a state where the substrate has been adsorbed and fixed in the substrate processing system for performing the substrate processing.
[0053] Furthermore, the carrier main body 10 may be made of a metal material such as aluminum or SUS to secure mechanical rigidity, but the material and structure, etc. may be configured by being variously changed according to the usage condition.
[0054] In addition, the carrier main body 10 is installed with the power source apparatus 12 for supplying power to the electrostatic chuck 20. The power source apparatus 12 may be a rechargeable battery. At this time, an electrostatic chuck-side power source apparatus connection line 22 may be installed between the power source apparatus 12 and the electrostatic chuck 20. In the present embodiment, the power source apparatus 120 is, for example, a rechargeable battery, but the power source apparatus 12 may be any one of apparatuses for supplying power to the carrier main body 10 other than the rechargeable battery, such as an external power source.
[0055] Meanwhile, in the substrate processing process, when the substrate is not in close contact with the electrostatic chuck 20, a particle may flow between the substrate and the top surface of the electrostatic chuck 20 to contaminate the back surface of the substrate, thereby causing a poor substrate processing.
[0056] Accordingly, the present embodiment may include one or more substrate sensing parts 30 for monitoring occurrence of the problems such as breakage and slip of the substrate during the close contact of the substrate, and the movement of the substrate.
[0057] For example, in the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, it will be described, for example, that the substrate sensing part 30 may be composed of a first substrate sensing part 30A and a second substrate sensing part 30B, which are installed at each corner of the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20. However, it is natural that a position where the substrate sensing part 30 is installed, etc. may be changed according to the condition of the disclosure.
[0058] In addition, the substrate sensing part 30 may be any one of various configurations such as a thermal sensor for sensing heat generated by the electrostatic force generated by the electrostatic chuck 20, a position sensor for measuring the position of the substrate, and a laser, and changed according to the condition of the substrate sensing part 30.
[0059] In particular, the substrate sensing part 30 may be installed under the electrostatic chuck 20 adjacent to the corner of the electrostatic chuck 20. That is, when the substrate is in close contact with the electrostatic chuck 20, the substrate sensing part 30 may sense the corner area of the substrate.
[0060] The substrate sensing part 30 receives power from the power source apparatus 12. For this purpose, the substrate sensing part 30 and the power source apparatus 12 are connected through the signal line 35. At this time, the signal line 35 is formed to be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20. Specifically, the signal line 35 may be formed to be positioned on the same line as the electrode layer 25 in the process of forming the electrode layer 25 of the electrostatic chuck 20, which is a manufacturing process of the electrostatic chuck 20.
[0061] As described above, since the signal line 35 is formed to be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20, it is not necessary to form the cable for connecting the power source apparatus 12 with the substrate sensing part 30 on the carrier main body 10, thereby not reducing the rigidity of the carrier main body 10.
[0062] Specifically, in the case of the vertical deposition system among the substrate deposition systems, the thickness of the carrier main body 10 tends to be thin. Accordingly, when the cable for connecting the substrate sensing part 30 with the power source apparatus 12 is formed on the carrier main body 10, the rigidity of the carrier main body 10 may be reduced. However, according to the present embodiment, the signal line 35 for connecting the substrate sensing part 30 with the power source apparatus 12 is formed to be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20, thereby not affecting the rigidity of the carrier main body 10.
[0063] Furthermore, since the signal line 35 is not formed on the carrier main body 10, it is possible to minimize the interference between the electrode formed on the carrier main body 10 and the signal line 35, and furthermore, to simplify the electrostatic chuck assembly.
[0064] In addition, as the signal line 35 is formed in the process of manufacturing the electrostatic chuck 20, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing time for manufacturing the electrostatic chuck assembly to which the substrate sensing part 30 and the power source apparatus 12 are connected, thereby enhancing the work productivity.
[0065] Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the substrate sensing part 30 is, for example, formed at the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20, but may also be formed to be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20 together with the signal line 35.
[0066] Referring back to FIG. 1, the signal line 35 may be connected with the power source apparatus 12. For this purpose, the signal line 35 and the power source apparatus 12 may be installed with a signal line side power source apparatus connection conductive line 32.
[0067] Meanwhile, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the section of the electrostatic chuck according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0068] Prior to the description of FIG. 3, assuming that if the reference numerals indicated in FIG. 3 are the same as the reference numerals of FIGS. 1 and 2, they are the same configurations, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted .
[0069] Referring to FIG. 3, the electrostatic chuck 20 includes the base member 21 of a metal material, the lower dielectric layer 23 formed on the base member 21, the signal line 35 formed on the lower dielectric layer 23, a first upper dielectric layer 27a formed on the signal line 35 so as to include the line 35, the electrode layer 25 deposited and formed on the first upper dielectric layer 27a, and a second upper dielectric layer 27b formed on the electrode layer 25 so as to include the electrode layer 25.
[0070] That is, the signal line 35 may be embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20, and formed between the first upper dielectric layer 27a and the second upper dielectric layer 27b, thereby minimizing the interference between the electrode layer 25 formed in the second upper dielectric layer 27b and the signal line 35.
[0071] As described above, since the signal line 35 is formed inside the electrostatic chuck 20, a separate connection structure is required to connect the signal line 35 with the substrate sensing part 30. For example, the electrostatic chuck 20 includes a connection terminal 34 at least partially exposed to the outside of the electrostatic chuck 20, and fixed to the electrostatic chuck 20 to be connected with the signal line 35. Accordingly, a plug having one end connected with the substrate sensing part 30 and having the other end coupled with the connection terminal 34 to electrically connect the substrate sensing part 30 with the signal line 35 may be prepared.
[0072] In the present embodiment, the plug for connecting the substrate sensing part 30 with the signal line 35 is prepared, for example, but alternatively, the substrate sensing part 30 and the signal line 35 may also be directly connected without the plug.
[0073] Hereinafter, the plug will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.
[0074] FIG. 4 is a partial plane diagram illustrating an embodiment of a connection terminal of the substrate sensing part and a plug coupled to the connection terminal by enlarging an area A of FIG. 1.
[0075] Referring to FIG. 4, the electrostatic chuck 20 is installed with the connection terminal 34. The connection terminal 34 may have one end contact the signal line 35 embedded in the electrostatic chuck 20, and have the other end exposed to the outside of the electrostatic chuck 20. Since one end of the connection terminal 34 has contacted the signal line 35, power may be supplied to the connection terminal 34 when power is supplied to the signal line 35.
[0076] The plug 40 coupled to the connection terminal 34 includes a plug terminal 44 on which the connection terminal 34 is mounted. The plug terminal 44 allows the plug 40 to be coupled to the connection terminal 34 so that power supplied to the connection terminal 34 may be supplied to the plug 40 through the plug terminal 44. Furthermore, the supplied power may be transferred to the substrate sensing part 30 connected with the plug 40. Through this configuration, the signal line 35 and the substrate sensing part 30 may be connected.
[0077] Meanwhile, the electrostatic chuck 20 includes a plug coupling part 26 to which the plug 40 is coupled. The plug coupling part 26 may be formed on the edge surface of the electrostatic chuck 20, and formed to be sunk toward the inner surface of the electrostatic chuck 20. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the plug coupling part 26 may be formed in a groove shape at the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize the plug 40 from being protruded from the edge of the electrostatic chuck after the plug 40 and the connection terminal 34 have been coupled by the plug coupling part 26 of the groove shape, thereby being prevented from interfering with the periphery of the electrostatic chuck 20.
[0078] In the present embodiment, the plug coupling part 26 is formed so that the electrostatic chuck 20 and the plug 40 are coupled, for example, but alternatively, the electrostatic chuck 20 and the plug 40 may also be connected without the plug coupling part 26.
[0079] In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the substrate sensing part 30 may be composed of the first substrate sensing part 30A and the second substrate sensing part 30B, which are installed at each corner of the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20. Hereinafter, the plug 40 of the present embodiment is, for example, connected to the signal line 35 for supplying power to the first substrate sensing part 30A.
[0080] Alternatively, the connection terminal 34 may also be formed in a surface terminal shape on one surface of the electrostatic chuck 20. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the connection terminal will be described with reference to FIG. 5.
[0081] FIG. 5 is a partial plane diagram illustrating another embodiment of the connection terminal of the substrate sensing part by enlarging an area B of FIG. 1.
[0082] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the connection terminal 34 may be formed in a surface terminal shape, and specifically, when the electrostatic chuck 20 is installed on the carrier main body 10, it may be formed on one side surface of the electrostatic chuck 20 that contacts the inner surface of the carrier main body 10.
[0083] Correspondingly, the carrier main body 10 may comprise a contact terminal 144 that is formed on the inner surface of the carrier main body 10, and contacts and electrically connects with the connection terminal 34 when the electrostatic chuck 20 is installed on the carrier main body 10.
[0084] According to this configuration, when the electrostatic chuck 20 is installed on the carrier main body 10, the connection terminal 34 and the contact terminal 144 contact each other, and the power supplied from the power source apparatus 12 may be supplied to the substrate sensing part 30 while being supplied through the connection terminal 34 and the contact terminal 144.
[0085] Meanwhile, it is natural that the configuration and operating effect of the connection terminal 34 and the plug 40, and the connection terminal 34 and the contact terminal 144 to be described may be changed according to the condition, and the present embodiment is not limited by the configuration to be described.
[0086] Meanwhile, FIG. 6 is a side diagram of the electrostatic chuck illustrating an embodiment in which a hole has been formed toward the substrate so that substrate sensing of the substrate sensing part is performed.
[0087] Prior to the description of FIG. 6, assuming that if the reference numerals indicated in FIG. 6 are the same as the reference numerals indicated in FIGS. 1 to 5, they are the same configurations, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
[0088] Referring to FIG. 6, the substrate sensing part 30 of the electrostatic chuck assembly may be positioned under the electrostatic chuck 20, which is the other surface of the electrostatic chuck 20, with respect to one surface of the electrostatic chuck 20 on which the substrate (S) has been installed. Specifically, the carrier main body 10 may be installed by surrounding the edge of the electrostatic chuck 20. At this time, the substrate sensing part 30 may be installed at a position adjacent to the end portion of the carrier main body 10 for supporting the lower side of the electrostatic chuck 20.
[0089] In particular, the substrate sensing part 30 may be positioned under the electrostatic chuck 20 facing the edge of the substrate (S) . Accordingly, when the substrate (S) is positioned on the electrostatic chuck 20, the edge area of the substrate (S) may be sensed to sense whether the electrostatic chuck 20 and the substrate (S) are in close contact with each other and the close contact position of the substrate (S) .
[0090] At this time, the electrostatic chuck 20 includes a through hole 24 for vertically penetrating toward the substrate (S) so that substrate sensing of the substrate sensing part 30 is performed. Preferably, the substrate sensing part 30 may be installed to face the through hole 24. The through hole 24 enables the substrate sensing part 30 to easily sense whether the substrate (S) is positioned at the right position, or has been in close contact with the electrostatic chuck 20.
[0091] Hereinafter, a process for manufacturing an electrostatic chuck assembly including this configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
[0092] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an electrostatic chuck manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an electrostatic chuck manufacturing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0093] First, referring to FIG. 7, the lower dielectric layer 23 is formed on the base member 21 of a metal material, and the electrode layer 25 is formed by being deposited on the lower dielectric layer 23 (FIG. 7A) .
[0094] At this time, the electrode layer 25 may be composed of a bipolar electrostatic chuck manufactured by being formed so that the pulse signal appears + and - alternately In addition, one or more electrode layers 25 may be formed according to the adsorption method of the substrate (S) , and in the present embodiment, it will be described, for example, that a plurality of electrode layers 25 are formed
[0095] When depositing the electrode layer 25, the signal line 35 connected with the plurality of substrate sensing parts 30 for sensing the substrate (S) seated on the electrostatic chuck 20 is formed (FIG. 7B) . That is, the signal line 35 may be formed on the same line as the electrode layer 25. Accordingly, the substrate sensing part 30 and the power source apparatus 12 may be connected without the post-process that forms the cable for connecting the power source apparatus 12 with the substrate sensing part 30 on the carrier main body 10.
[0096] In particular, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing time for manufacturing the electrostatic chuck assembly to which the substrate sensing part 30 and the power source apparatus 12 are connected, thereby enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the work.
[0097] Furthermore, in general, the signal line is formed in the groove formed by cutting the surface of the carrier main body 10. However, in the present embodiment, since the signal line 35 is formed inside the electrostatic chuck 20, the surface of the carrier main body 10 may be cut to prevent the rigidity of the carrier main body 10 from being lowered .
[0098] In addition, it is possible not only to prevent the interference between the electrode formed on the carrier main body 10 and the signal line 35, but also to simplify the electrostatic chuck assembly.
[0099] Meanwhile, the substrate sensing part 30 is a configuration of sensing whether the substrate (S) installed on the electrostatic chuck 20 is in close contact therewith, whether the substrate (S) is installed in the right position, etc. The substrate sensing part 30 may be any one of various configurations such as a thermal sensor for sensing heat generated by the electrostatic force generated by the electrostatic chuck 20, a position sensor for measuring the position of the substrate, a laser, etc., and the substrate sensing part 30 may be changed according to the condition. [00100] The substrate sensing part 30 receives power from the power source apparatus 12. At this time, the signal line 35 may be a configuration of connecting the substrate sensing part 30 with the power source apparatus 12. When the signal line 35 forms the electrode layer 25 of the electrostatic chuck 20, the signal line 35 is formed together in the process of forming the electrode layer 25 to be formed inside the electrostatic chuck 20. Accordingly, a process of separately installing the cable for connecting the power source apparatus 12 with the substrate sensing part 30 on the carrier main body 10, or outside the electrostatic chuck 20 is not required.
[00101] After the electrode layer 25 and the signal line
35 are formed on the lower dielectric layer 23, the upper dielectric layer 27 is formed on the electrode layer 25 and the signal line 35 (FIG. 7C) . The upper dielectric layer 27 is a component having a dielectric constant for generating an electrostatic force generated by applying power to the electrode layer 25. The upper dielectric layer 27 may be formed by any one of various methods such as plasma spraying from a ceramic material.
[00102] Meanwhile, after the upper dielectric layer 27 is formed, the connection terminal 34 at least partially exposed to the outside of the electrostatic chuck 20, and fixed to the electrostatic chuck to be connected with the signal line 35 may be formed. That is, in the present embodiment, the signal line 35 is not exposed to the outside. Accordingly, after the electrostatic chuck 20 is installed on the carrier main body 10, the substrate sensing part 30 may sense the substrate (S) only when the signal line 35 and the substrate sensing part 30 are connected. For this purpose, the connection terminal 34 is installed on the electrostatic chuck 20 so as to be connected with the signal line 35. One end of the connection terminal 34 may contact the signal line 35, and the other end thereof may be exposed to the outside of the electrostatic chuck 20.
[00103] When the connection terminal 34 is installed on the electrostatic chuck 20, the plug 40 may be coupled to the connection terminal 34. As the plug 40 and the connection terminal 34 are coupled to each other, power supplied to the signal line 35 may be supplied to the substrate detecting part 30 through the connection terminal 34 and the plug 40. It is possible to monitor the problems such as the close contact state of the substrate (S) , the breakage and slip of the substrate, etc.
[00104] Meanwhile, although it has been described that the connection terminal 34 of the present embodiment is coupled to the plug 40, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the connection terminal 34 may also be formed in a point terminal shape.
[00105] Alternatively, the signal line 35 may be formed on a different layer from the electrode layer 25.
[00106] As illustrated in FIG. 8, according to an electrostatic chuck manufacturing method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower dielectric layer 23 is formed on the base member 21 of a metal material, and the signal line 35 is formed on the lower dielectric layer 23 (FIG. 8A) .
[00107] When the signal line 35 is formed on the lower dielectric layer 23, the first upper dielectric layer 27a is formed on the signal line 35 so as to include the signal line 35 therein (FIG. 8B) .
[00108] Thereafter, a plurality of electrode layers 25 are formed by being stacked on the first upper dielectric layer 27a (FIG. 8C) , and the second upper dielectric layer 27b may be formed on the electrode layer 25 so that the electrode layers 25 is included therein (FIG. 8D) .
[00109] As described above, the electrostatic chuck 20 may be manufactured so that the electrode layer 25 and the signal line 35 are formed on layers different from each other, thereby preventing the electrode layer 25 and the signal line 35 from interfering with each other.
[00110] Meanwhile, after the second upper dielectric layer 27b is formed, the connection terminal 34 may be installed on the electrostatic chuck 20.
[00111] As described above, the connection terminal 34 may contact the plug 40 connected with the substrate sensing part 30 or the contact terminal 144 formed on the carrier main body 10, and electrically connect the substrate sensing part 30 with the signal line 35.
[00112] As described above, the present embodiment may form the substrate sensing part 30 capable of sensing whether the substrate (S) , which is in close contact with the electrostatic chuck 20, is in close contact therewith and has been positioned in the right position, and the signal line 35 for connecting the power source apparatus 12 for supplying power to the substrate sensing part 30 inside the electrostatic chuck 20. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the work time for manufacturing the electrostatic chuck 20, thereby enhancing the work efficiency.
[00113] The foregoing description of the present disclosure is intended for illustration, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains that the present disclosure may be easily modified in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single type may also be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as distributed may be implemented in a combined form.
[00114] The scope of the disclosure is indicated by the following claims rather than the detailed description, and it should be construed that all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concept are included in the scope of the disclosure .
