Abstract: To provide an electrostatic chuck, including: a ceramic dielectric substrate having a first major surface on which an object to be processed is mounted, and a second major surface on a side opposite the first major surface, the ceramic dielectric substrate being a polycrystalline ceramic sintered body; and an electrode layer interposed between the first major surface and the second major surface of the ceramic dielectric substrate, the electrode layer being integrally sintered with the ceramic dielectric substrate, the ceramic dielectric substrate including a first dielectric layer between the electrode layer and the first major surface, and a second dielectric layer between the electrode layer and the second major surface, and at least the first dielectric layer of the ceramic dielectric substrate having an infrared spectral transmittance in terms of a thickness of 1 millimeter (mm) of not less than 20%.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck includes: a ceramic substrate; a ceramic dielectric body provided on a top side of the ceramic substrate and having a first major surface where a processing target substrate is to be mounted; and an electrode provided between the ceramic substrate and the ceramic dielectric body. A material of the ceramic dielectric body is a ceramic sintered body. A plurality of protrusions and a groove for supplying a gas are provided on the first major surface of the ceramic dielectric body. A through hole is provided in a bottom face of the groove, the through hole penetrating to a second major surface of the ceramic substrate on a side opposite to the first major surface. A distance between the electrode and the groove is greater than or equal to a distance between the electrode and the first major surface.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck comprises: a ceramic plate provided with recesses on a major surface and provided with an electrode in an inner part of the ceramic plate; a temperature regulating plate bonded to the major surface of the ceramic plate; a first bonding agent provided between the ceramic plate and the temperature regulating plate; and a heater provided in the each of the recesses of the ceramic plate. The first bonding agent has a first major agent including an organic material, a first amorphous filler including an inorganic material, and a first spherical filler including an inorganic material. The first amorphous filler and the first spherical filler are dispersion-compounded into the first major agent. The first major agent, the first amorphous filler, and the first spherical filler are made of an electrically insulating material. An average diameter of the first spherical filler is greater than a maximum value of a minor axis of the first amorphous filler.
