  • Publication number: 20250210394
    Abstract: A member for a semiconductor manufacturing equipment, comprising: a ceramic substrate having an upper surface on which a wafer is to be placed and a lower surface; a plug placement hole that vertically penetrates the ceramic substrate and comprises a tapered inner peripheral surface in which an area of an upper opening is larger than an area of a lower opening; a ceramic plug comprising a dense outer peripheral surface and a gas passage penetrating the plug, the ceramic plug being embedded such that the dense outer peripheral surface of the plug is directly fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the plug placement hole; a conductive base plate bonded to the lower surface of the ceramic substrate via a bonding layer; and a gas supply path that passes through the base plate and the bonding layer to supply gas to the gas passage of the ceramic plug.

  • Patent number: 12105047
    Abstract: A sensor element includes an element body having a measurement-object gas flow section formed therein, and a porous protective layer arranged to cover first to fifth surfaces of the element body. When an external wall that is the thinnest of parts of an external wall which constitute the element body and extend from the measurement-object gas flow section to the first to fifth surfaces is defined as a thinnest external wall and a surface corresponding to the thinnest external wall is defined as a closest surface, a part of the protective layer which covers the closest surface overlaps the entirety of the thinnest external wall when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the closest surface, and has one or more internal spaces formed therein which overlaps 80% or more of the thinnest external wall when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the closest surface.
