Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ceramic heater and its manufacturing method.
- ⁇ Semiconductor manufacturing equipment uses ceramic heaters to heat wafers.

- As a two-zone heater of this type as disclosed in Patent Document 1, an inner peripheral resistance heating element and an outer peripheral resistance heating element are embedded in the same plane in a ceramic substrate, and It is known that the heat generated from each resistance heating element is independently controlled by independently applying a voltage.
- Each resistance heating element is composed of a coil made of a refractory metal such as tungsten.
- Patent Document 1 there is a problem that temperature unevenness is likely to occur in the outer peripheral portion.
- the resistance heating element on the outer peripheral side was partially carbonized. That is, the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic heater is likely to reach a high temperature due to the influence of temperature unevenness in the firing furnace during ceramic firing, but the coil embedded in this outer peripheral portion reacts with the carbon contained in the ceramic substrate. Partly changed to metal carbide.
- carbon jigs and dies exist on the outer periphery of the plates. When this carbon enters from the outer periphery of the plate, the carbon concentration becomes high on the outer periphery of the plate.
- the coil existing on the outer periphery of the plate is easily carbonized.
- the volume resistivity of the metal carbide is different from that of the metal before carbonization. Therefore, when the resistance heating element on the outer peripheral side is energized, there is a difference in the amount of heat generation between the portion that has become a metal carbide and the portion that does not, and as a result, temperature unevenness has occurred at the outer peripheral portion.

That is, there is no occurrence of portions having different heat generation amounts in the resistance heating element on the outer peripheral side. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the outer peripheral portion.
- the inner resistance heating element is made of a refractory metal instead of the metal carbide because the metal carbide (for example, Mo or W carbide) becomes extremely hard, and the arrangement when the inner resistance heating element is embedded is set. This is because the work and the work of forming the shape (for example, coil shape) of the resistance heating element on the inner circumference side from the strand become difficult.
- the metal carbide for example, Mo or W carbide
- the inner resistance heating element and the outer resistance heating element may be connected to different power sources. By doing so, it is possible to individually control the temperature of the inner peripheral side zone and the outer peripheral side zone of the ceramic heater.

- the outer peripheral portion (for example, the range from the outer peripheral edge of the ceramic plate 20 to about 30 mm) of the ceramic heater 10 is likely to reach a high temperature, and the carbon concentration increases as the carbon enters from the outer periphery. Therefore, the outer peripheral resistance heating element 24 provided in the outer peripheral zone Z2 easily reacts with the carbon component contained in the ceramic plate 20 and is carbonized, but in the present embodiment, the outer peripheral resistance heating element 24 is made of metal carbide. Therefore, it does not carbonize any more. That is, there is no occurrence of portions of the resistance heating element 24 on the outer peripheral side having different amounts of heat generation. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of temperature unevenness in the outer peripheral portion.
- the inner resistance heating element 22 and the outer resistance heating element 24 are connected to different power sources (first and second power sources 32 and 34). Therefore, the temperature of the inner peripheral side zone Z1 and the outer peripheral side zone Z2 of the ceramic heater 10 can be individually controlled.

By doing so, it may be formed in a fan shape (a shape in which the side surface of a truncated cone is developed).
- the resistance heating elements wired in all the small zones may be made of metal carbide, but at least in the outermost small zones (zones with the highest temperature, for example, within 30 mm from the outer peripheral edge of the ceramic plate).
- the resistance heating element may be made of metal carbide.
- the inner zone Z1 is described as one zone, but it may be divided into a plurality of small zones. In that case, the resistance heating element is wired independently for each small zone.

In that case, a resistance heating element made of a refractory metal is prepared before embedding the outer resistance heating element 74 in the ceramic precursor 70, and at least the surface of the resistance heating element (or the entire resistance heating element may be carbonized).
- the outer peripheral resistance heating element 74 is manufactured by performing the process described above, and is embedded in the ceramic precursor 70. Also in this case, although carbon is present in the furnace in the firing step, the outer peripheral resistance heating element 74 is carbonized on its surface, and therefore the outer peripheral resistance heating element 74 is not carbonized any more.
- the resistance heating element 72 on the inner peripheral side embedded in the ceramic precursor 70 may be a resistance heating element made of a refractory metal having no carbonized film.
- the inner zone Za of the ceramic precursor 70 is less likely to reach a higher temperature and the carbon concentration is less likely to be elevated than the outer zone Zb. Therefore, even if a carbonized film may be formed on the surface of the inner resistance heating element 72 in the firing process, the thickness of the carbonized film affects the characteristics of the inner resistance heating element 72 made of a refractory metal. The thickness (for example, several ⁇ m) does not reach the range.
- the present invention can be used for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
