  • Patent number: 8008602
    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck heater is provided including a base which is formed by applying conductive paste containing a binder to upper and lower surfaces of an alumina sintered body to print an electrostatic electrode and heater electrode, calcining the alumina sintered body, arranging alumina powder above the electrostatic electrode and alumina powder below the heater electrode, and pressing the alumina powder and alumina sintered body in the above state for pressure sintering. The diffusion area ratio of the conductive material near the electrostatic electrode in the dielectric layer is set to not more than 0.25%.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7812289
    Abstract: A ceramic heater according to the present invention includes a heating portion made of ceramics, and a cooling plate portion. In the heating portion, a belt like printed electrode is formed continuously in a spiral shape along a circumferential direction, and in the printed electrode, slits extended in a width direction of the printed electrode are provided. In such a way, a ceramic heater in which uniform heating performance in the heating surface is high can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20070146961
    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck includes: a base body; an electrode formed on the base body and generating coulomb force; and a dielectric layer formed on the base body and electrode, having a plurality of projections on a first main face on the side supporting a substrate attracted by the coulomb force, and supporting the substrate on the upper surfaces of these projections. The projections are arranged at substantially uniform intervals. The surface roughness (Ra) of the projection upper faces is 0.5 ?m or smaller. The height of the projections is 5 to 20 ?m. The relation A1/2×B2>200 is satisfied where A (number/100 cm2) is the number of the projections per unit area of 100 cm2 in the first main face, and B (?m) is the height of the projections.
