  • Publication number: 20240105488
    Abstract: There is provided an electrostatic chuck assembly including: an electrode-embedded ceramic plate; a cooling plate that supports a bottom surface of the ceramic plate and has an internal space of an annular or arcuate shape; an internal fixation member of an annular or arcuate shape accommodated in the internal space so as to be rotatable about a central axis of the cooling plate; female threads in a multiple of n, which is an integer of 2 or more, spaced apart from each other in the internal fixation member; and n insertion holes for insertion of bolts for being fixed to a chamber, the insertion holes each being provided at the bottom of the cooling plate such that one set of n female threads is exposed. Each of the female threads is disposed such that another set of n female threads is exposed in the insertion holes when rotated.

  • Publication number: 20240006226
    Abstract: A member for a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, the member has a wafer placement surface and includes: a plurality of gas outflow passages each having an opening on the wafer placement surface; a common gas passage that is in communication with the plurality of gas outflow passages; and at least one gas inflow passage that is in communication with the common gas passage from a surface of the member for a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus that is on an opposite side from the wafer placement surface, the number of the at least one gas inflow passage being smaller than the number of the gas outflow passages in communication with the common gas passage. Among the plurality of gas outflow passages, a gas outflow passage closer to the gas inflow passage has a larger gas passage resistance than a gas outflow passage farther from the gas inflow passage.

  • Publication number: 20240006194
    Abstract: A member for semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes: a ceramic plate having a wafer placement surface; a conductive base plate; a gas common passage provided inside the base plate; gas outlet passages provided to reach the wafer placement surface from the gas common passage; at least one gas inlet passage provided to communicate with the gas common passage from a lower surface of the base plate; and an insulating sleeve disposed in a base plate through-hole. The insulating sleeve has a first communication hole that constitutes part of the gas common passage, and a second communication hole that is provided to reach an upper surface of the insulating sleeve from the first communication hole, and constitute part of the gas outlet passages.

  • Patent number: 8361271
    Abstract: To form an electrostatic chuck, a bonding sheet is applied onto the upper surface of a cooling plate and then the cooling plate is placed in a vacuum dryer at a pressure of 2,000 Pa or less for a pre-bake treatment at 120° C. to 130° C. for 15 to 40 hours, followed by natural cooling. A plate is then stacked on the bonding sheet so that the lower surface of the plate is aligned with the upper surface of the bonding sheet, which is applied onto the cooling plate. The resulting stacked body is placed in a heat-resistant resin bag, and is then placed in an autoclave and treated together for several hours under pressure and heat.
