  • Patent number: 7175714
    Abstract: An electrode-built-in susceptor comprises a mounting plate and a supporting plate which are made of an aluminium-nitride-group-sintered member, an inner electrode which is made of a conductive aluminium-nitride-tantalum-nitride-composite-sintered-member or a conductive aluminium-nitride-tungsten-composite-sintered-member so as to be formed between the mounting plate and the supporting plate, power supplying terminals 16, 16 which is disposed in fixing holes 13, 13 which are formed on the supporting plate so as to be attached to the inner electrode. The power supplying terminals are made of a conductive aluminium-nitride-tantalum-nitride-composite-sintered-member. By doing this, it is possible to provide an electrode-built-in susceptor which has superior durability under a high temperature oxidizing atmosphere condition and a method for manufacturing an electrode-built-in susceptor with a high product yield and a low production cost.

    Inventors: Takeshi Ootsuka, Kazunori Endou
  • Patent number: 6872908
    Abstract: There is provided a susceptor with a built-in electrode and a manufacturing method therefor, in which there is no danger of corrosive gas or plasma or the like penetrating to the inside of the substrate, which has excellent corrosion resistance and plasma resistance, in which nonconductivity under high temperatures is improved, and in which leakage current does not occur.

  • Patent number: 6863281
    Abstract: One object of the present invention is to provide a chucking apparatus and its production method that is capable of carrying out holding, alignment, transport and so forth without causing problems such as the generation of particles. In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a chucking apparatus provided with a base in which protrusions or grooves are formed on one of its faces to form an irregular surface, and the apical surfaces of protrusions of the irregular surface serve as a chucking surface for chucking and holding a plate-shaped sample, wherein the apical and lateral surfaces of the above protrusions, and the bottom surfaces of the above indentations, are all polished.
