低温エッチング技術の検討が進められている。For example, in a plasma etching apparatus or a plasma CVD apparatus, a plasma generated by introducing a gas having an appropriate pressure between two equilibrium plate electrodes in the apparatus and applying RF power to these electrodes. Is used to perform etching or CVD. For example, in the case of etching, it is difficult to accurately control the etching of a wafer or the like due to the influence of heat from plasma and the progress of etching reaction. Therefore, the etching is controlled with high accuracy by performing the etching while cooling the wafer,
Investigation of low temperature etching technology is in progress.

板載置部上に確実に固定する必要がある。In such an apparatus, since there is a vacuum between the substrate such as a wafer and the substrate mounting portion and the heat transfer efficiency is low, in order to cool the substrate, one of the two balanced plate electrodes must be cooled. It is not enough to simply cool the substrate mounting portion that also serves as an electrode. Therefore, in order to improve the cooling efficiency of the substrate, an inert gas is usually supplied to the back surface of the substrate. At this time, it is necessary to securely fix the substrate on the substrate platform.

基板の固定手段として好ましい方法である。As a substrate fixing means in a substrate processing apparatus, generally, a mechanical clamp system and an electrostatic chuck system can be mentioned. The mechanical clamp method is
It is difficult to evenly fix the substrate to the substrate rest,
In addition, there is a problem that it causes an adverse effect on plasma and generation of dust. On the other hand, in the electrostatic chuck method, since the electrostatic chuck does not directly contact the surface of the substrate,
There is no problem of adverse effect on plasma or generation of dust, and since the substrate can be fixed uniformly on the substrate mounting part,
This is a preferred method for fixing the substrate.

The substrate platform also serves as an electrostatic chuck. That is, the substrate platform 30 also serves as an electrostatic chuck electrode and, depending on the substrate processing apparatus, one of the two balanced plate electrodes (this electrode is also called a stage electrode). The insulating material 32 is attached to the surface of the substrate platform 30 by a bonding material 34 such as an adhesive. If necessary, the coolant channel 36 is provided in the substrate mounting portion, and the coolant is allowed to flow in the coolant channel 36 to control the substrate mounting portion 30 to a desired temperature. Further, an inert gas such as helium gas is supplied from the gas supply port 20 to the back surface of the substrate such as a wafer as needed. The inert gas functions as a heat medium and enhances heat transfer efficiency to the substrate.

As a result, static electricity is generated on the surface of the insulating material 32, which causes the substrate to rest on the substrate platform 3.
It is sucked and fixed at 0. At the time of processing a substrate such as a wafer, a high frequency voltage is applied to the substrate platform 30 that also serves as a stage electrode, depending on the substrate processing apparatus.

That is, unlike the first type, the electrostatic chuck and the substrate mounting portion are separate components. The electrostatic chuck 40 includes a base 4 made of an insulating material.
2 and an electrostatic chuck electrode 44 made of a metal thin film such as aluminum or copper disposed inside the base 42. The substrate mounting portion 46 also serves as a stage electrode depending on the substrate processing apparatus. If necessary, the coolant channel 48 is provided in the substrate mounting portion 46, and the coolant is allowed to flow in the coolant channel 48 to control the substrate mounting portion 46 to a desired temperature. Further, an inert gas such as helium gas is supplied from the gas supply port 20 to the back surface of the substrate such as a wafer as needed.

As a result, static electricity is generated on the surface of the electrostatic chuck 40, which causes the substrate to move to the electrostatic chuck 40.

材料の厚さである。The Coulomb force F acting between the electrostatic chuck and the substrate can be expressed by F = (S / 2) ε (V / d) 2 equation (1). Here, S is the electrode area of the electrostatic chuck, ε is the dielectric constant of the insulating material, V is the applied voltage, and d is the thickness of the insulating material.

To be done. Also, depending on the substrate processing apparatus,
Since the electrostatic chuck is used under vacuum, the electrostatic chuck is also required to have excellent degassing characteristics (vacuum characteristics). Further, in each manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, in some cases, it is necessary to accurately control the temperature of a substrate such as a wafer, so that the electrostatic chuck is also required to have high thermal conductivity.

下する。A polymer insulating sheet made of, for example, polyimide is used as an insulating material, and an organic adhesive is used as a bonding material 34 to bond the insulating material 32 to the surface of the substrate mounting portion 30. In this case, or when the base 42 made of such a polymer insulating sheet is bonded to the electrostatic chuck electrode 44 using an organic adhesive,
The thickness of the insulating material can be 0.1 mm or less.
However, the polymer insulating sheet is poor in abrasion resistance and plasma resistance. Also, since an organic adhesive is used,
The vacuum characteristics are poor, and the surface smoothness of the electrostatic chuck is poor due to the unevenness of the adhesive, and the suction force on the substrate is reduced.

導率も低いという問題がある。A ceramic material is used as the base 42 made of an insulating material, and an electrostatic chuck electrode 44 is sandwiched between the two ceramic materials to sinter the ceramic material. Since the electrostatic chuck 40 does not use an adhesive, it has excellent vacuum characteristics,
It also has excellent wear resistance and plasma resistance. However, usually the thickness of the ceramic material on the suction side is 0.5 mm
Because of the above, there is a problem that the electrostatic attraction force of the electrostatic chuck is low and the thermal conductivity is also low.

In the electrostatic chuck in which the ceramic thin film is formed on the surface of the substrate mounting portion 30 or the surface of the electrostatic chuck electrode 44 by the CVD method or the vapor deposition, the ceramic thin film is 1
If it is 0 μm or more, there is a problem that it peels from the surface. Further, there is a problem that the dielectric breakdown voltage is low when the ceramic thin film is less than 10 μm.

However, the surface of the sprayed ceramic thin film is porous and rough, and impregnation with a polymer solution is necessary to smooth the surface. Further, the sprayed ceramic thin film has a problem that the dielectric breakdown voltage is low.

Since the electrostatic chuck bonded with the organic adhesive uses the adhesive, there is a problem that the vacuum characteristics are poor and the heat resistance is poor. Moreover, since the bonding strength is low, it is extremely difficult to process the ceramic plate thin after bonding the ceramic plates. Therefore, it is necessary to thin the ceramic plate before bonding, but it is extremely difficult to thin the ceramic plate having a large area.

Excellent in insulation properties, heat resistance, and bonding strength. However, since the brazing process requires a high temperature of 800 to 850 ° C., the material of the substrate platform 30 is required to have heat resistance. Such materials, such as SiC, are difficult to handle and expensive.

を図ることができる。According to the present invention, since the ceramic plate is firmly adhered to the substrate mounting portion by the low temperature brazing method, the vacuum characteristics are excellent and the ceramic plate can be processed thinly.
Moreover, it has excellent surface smoothness. Therefore, the electrostatic chuck of the present invention can obtain high suction / fixing force. Further, since the surface is made of a ceramic plate, it has excellent wear resistance, heat resistance, plasma resistance, and insulation characteristics. Also,
If a ceramic plate made of aluminum nitride or the like is used, the thermal conductivity can be made relatively high. Since the low temperature brazing can be performed at about 300 ° C., it is not necessary to form the substrate mounting portion from a material having high heat resistance. In the substrate processing apparatus or the substrate transfer apparatus of the present invention, since the electrostatic chuck has excellent wear resistance and plasma resistance, the electrostatic chuck has a long life and the number of maintenances of the wafer processing apparatus and the like can be reduced. Therefore, the running cost can be reduced.
