Description

本発明は、半導体ウエハ等の被加熱物を載置して加熱する加熱ヒータに関し、特にマルチゾーンに区分されたゾーンごとに加熱可能な加熱ヒータに関する。   The present invention relates to a heater that places and heats an object to be heated such as a semiconductor wafer, and more particularly to a heater that can be heated for each zone divided into multiple zones.

LSIなどの半導体デバイスを製造する半導体製造装置では、被処理物である半導体ウエハに対してCVDやスパッタリングに代表される成膜処理やエッチング処理など、様々な薄膜処理が施される。これら薄膜処理は半導体ウエハを加熱状態で処理することが多く、当該処理が行われるチャンバー内には薄膜処理の際に半導体ウエハを載置してその下面から加熱するサセプタとも称されるウエハ加熱ヒータが一般的に搭載されている。   In a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device such as an LSI, various thin film processes such as a film forming process and an etching process typified by CVD and sputtering are performed on a semiconductor wafer which is an object to be processed. These thin film processes often process semiconductor wafers in a heated state, and a wafer heater called a susceptor that places a semiconductor wafer in the chamber in which the process is performed and heats the semiconductor wafer from its lower surface. Is generally installed.

上記ウエハ加熱ヒータは、例えば特許文献1に示されるように上面に平坦なウエハ載置面を備えたセラミックス製の円板状部材からなるウエハ載置台と、これを下面側から支持する円筒状の支持部材とから構成されており、該ウエハ載置台の内部には電熱コイルや薄膜状の抵抗発熱体等の発熱回路がウエハ載置面に平行な面上に埋設されている。該発熱回路の両端部に電気的に接続する端子部はウエハ載置台の下面から突出しており、そこに接続する導電性部材からなる引出線を介して外部電源に接続されている。   The wafer heater includes, for example, a wafer mounting table made of a ceramic disk-shaped member having a flat wafer mounting surface on the upper surface as shown in Patent Document 1, and a cylindrical shape that supports the wafer mounting table from the lower surface side. A heating circuit such as an electric heating coil or a thin film resistance heating element is embedded in a plane parallel to the wafer mounting surface. Terminal portions that are electrically connected to both ends of the heat generating circuit protrude from the lower surface of the wafer mounting table, and are connected to an external power source via lead wires made of conductive members connected thereto.

上記したウエハ加熱ヒータでは製品となる半導体デバイスの品質のばらつきを抑えるため、ウエハ載置面での均熱性を高めて半導体ウエハを全面に亘って均一に加熱することが求められている。そのため、発熱回路の回路パターンを緻密にして温度ムラが生じないようにしたり、ウエハ載置面をマルチゾーンに区分してそれらの各々に配した発熱回路に個別に給電することでゾーンごとにきめ細かく温度制御したりすることが行われている。   The above-described wafer heater is required to uniformly heat the semiconductor wafer over the entire surface by increasing the heat uniformity on the wafer mounting surface in order to suppress the variation in quality of the semiconductor device as a product. Therefore, the circuit pattern of the heat generation circuit is made minute so that temperature unevenness does not occur, or the wafer mounting surface is divided into multi-zones, and power is individually supplied to the heat generation circuits arranged in each of the zones, so that each zone is finely divided. Temperature control is performed.

しかしながら、例えばウエハ載置面を内側と外側の2つのゾーンに区分してそれらの各々に個別に給電可能な発熱回路を配する場合、合計4個の端子部をウエハ載置台の下面側に設ける必要があるため、これら端子部及びそれらの引出線を伝ってウエハ載置台の熱が外部に逃げやすくなり、その結果ウエハ載置面の温度が局所的に低下することがあった。   However, for example, when a wafer mounting surface is divided into two zones, an inner side and an outer side, and a heating circuit capable of supplying power to each of them is arranged, a total of four terminal portions are provided on the lower surface side of the wafer mounting table. Since it is necessary, the heat of the wafer mounting table easily escapes outside through these terminal portions and their lead lines, and as a result, the temperature of the wafer mounting surface may be locally reduced.

また、チャンバー内は腐食性ガス雰囲気にあるため、端子部及び引出線は気密シールされた円筒状の支持部材の内側に設けるのが望ましいが、そのため、外側ゾーンの発熱回路の両端部を支持部材が設けられている内側ゾーンにまで引き込む必要があった。その結果、内側ゾーンの発熱回路の回路パターンが不均一になる上、外側ゾーンの発熱回路の両端部の引き込み部分の発熱によって内側ゾーンの均熱性が乱れることがあった。   Also, since the inside of the chamber is in a corrosive gas atmosphere, it is desirable to provide the terminal part and the lead wire inside the airtightly sealed cylindrical support member. Therefore, both ends of the heat generating circuit in the outer zone are provided on the support member. Needed to be pulled into the inner zone where As a result, the circuit pattern of the heat generating circuit in the inner zone becomes non-uniform, and the heat uniformity in the inner zone may be disturbed by the heat generated in the drawing portions at both ends of the heat generating circuit in the outer zone.

本発明は、このような従来の事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、半導体ウエハ等の被加熱物を載置する載置台の載置面の均熱性を安価且つコンパクトな構造で高めることが可能な加熱ヒータを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and it is possible to improve the thermal uniformity of the mounting surface of the mounting table on which a heated object such as a semiconductor wafer is mounted with an inexpensive and compact structure. An object is to provide a simple heater.

The heating table is embedded in the mounting table, and the heating circuits are arranged in layers at different positions in the thickness direction of the mounting table, and one end of at least two heating circuits is common to each other. It is characterized by being connected to the terminal part.

It is preferable that the tip portion is fitted. This makes it possible to connect the common terminals with a simple structure. Moreover, it is preferable that the one end part of the heat generating circuit of the at least two zones exposed at the bottomed hole has a form of a metallized layer on the inner wall surface of the bottomed hole. Thereby, the electrical connection between the one end portion of the heat generating circuit and the common terminal portion can be stabilized. Further, the bottomed hole has a tapered structure that decreases in diameter toward the back, and the tip of the common terminal portion has a truncated conical shape so as to fit into the bottomed hole of the tapered structure. It is preferable. This makes it possible to further stabilize the electrical connection between the one end portion of the heat generating circuit and the common terminal portion.

上記本発明の加熱ヒータの実施形態においては、前記載置台を下面側から支持する筒状支持部材を更に有しているのが好ましく、また、前記端子部が前記筒状支持部材の内側に設けられているのがより好ましい。これにより、ウエハ載置面での優れた均熱性の効果がより顕著になる。また、筒状部材の内側に設けた端子部やその引出線を腐食性ガス雰囲気から隔離することができる。   In the embodiment of the heater of the present invention, it is preferable to further include a cylindrical support member that supports the mounting table from the lower surface side, and the terminal portion is provided inside the cylindrical support member. More preferably. As a result, the excellent thermal uniformity effect on the wafer mounting surface becomes more remarkable. Moreover, the terminal part provided in the inner side of the cylindrical member and its lead wire can be isolated from the corrosive gas atmosphere.

次に、本発明の加熱ヒータの一具体例として、図1に示すような半導体ウエハに対してエッチング処理やCVD処理などを行う半導体製造装置のチャンバー1内に搭載されるウエハ加熱ヒータ2について説明する。この本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータ2は、半導体ウエハWを載置するウエハ載置面10aを上面に備えた好適にはセラミックスからなる略円板状のウエハ載置台10と、これを下面から支持する好適にはセラミックスからなる略円筒形状の支持部材20とを有している。   Next, as a specific example of the heater of the present invention, a wafer heater 2 mounted in a chamber 1 of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus that performs an etching process or a CVD process on a semiconductor wafer as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. To do. The wafer heater 2 according to one specific example of the present invention includes a substantially disk-shaped wafer mounting table 10 which is preferably made of ceramics and has a wafer mounting surface 10a on which a semiconductor wafer W is mounted. A substantially cylindrical support member 20 made of ceramics is preferably supported from the lower surface.

支持部材20の上下両端部は外側に屈曲したフランジ形状を有しており、その環状端面に設けた図示しないO−リング等のシール材及び該フランジ部を貫通する図示しないネジ等の結合手段によってウエハ載置台10の下面及びチャンバー1の底面にそれぞれ気密にシールされている。これにより、支持部材20の内側をチャンバー1内の腐食性ガス雰囲気から隔離することが可能になる。   The upper and lower ends of the support member 20 have flange shapes that are bent outward, and are connected by a sealing member (not shown) such as an O-ring provided on the annular end face and a connecting means such as a screw (not shown) penetrating the flange. The bottom surface of the wafer mounting table 10 and the bottom surface of the chamber 1 are hermetically sealed. Thereby, the inside of the support member 20 can be isolated from the corrosive gas atmosphere in the chamber 1.

上記のウエハ載置台10や支持部材20の好適な材質であるセラミックとしては、例えば窒化アルミニウム、窒化ケイ素、炭化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム等を挙げることができる。これらの中では熱伝導率の高い窒化アルミニウムが好ましい。ウエハ載置台10と支持部材20は互いに同じ材質からなるのが好ましく、これにより加熱や冷却の際に同様に膨張や縮小させることができるので、熱応力によるウエハ載置台10のウエハ載置面10aの反りやウエハ載置台10と支持部材20との接合部の破損等の問題を生じにくくすることができる。   Examples of the ceramic that is a suitable material for the wafer mounting table 10 and the support member 20 include aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and aluminum oxide. Of these, aluminum nitride having high thermal conductivity is preferable. The wafer mounting table 10 and the support member 20 are preferably made of the same material, and can be expanded and contracted in the same way during heating and cooling. It is possible to make it difficult to cause problems such as warpage and breakage of the joint portion between the wafer mounting table 10 and the support member 20.

本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータ2では、図2(a)〜(c)に示すように、このウエハ載置台10の内部に、第1発熱回路11、第2発熱回路12、及び第3発熱回路13の3つの発熱回路が埋設されている。これら3つの発熱回路は、ウエハ載置面10aを半径方向に区分した環状外周部、円形中央部、及びそれらの間の環状中間部の3つのゾーンを別々に加熱できるようにこれら3つのゾーン内にそれぞれ配設されている。すなわち、第1発熱回路11はウエハ載置台10の最外周部の環状ゾーン内に配設されており、第3発熱回路13はウエハ載置台10の中央部の円形ゾーン内に配設されており、第2発熱回路12はこれら両ゾーンに挟まれた中間部の環状ゾーン内に配設されている。   In the wafer heater 2 according to one specific example of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, a first heat generating circuit 11, a second heat generating circuit 12, and a second heat generating circuit are provided inside the wafer mounting table 10. Three heat generating circuits of three heat generating circuits 13 are embedded. These three heat generating circuits are provided in the three zones so that the three zones of the annular outer peripheral portion, the circular central portion, and the annular intermediate portion between them can be heated separately. Respectively. That is, the first heat generating circuit 11 is disposed in an annular zone at the outermost peripheral portion of the wafer mounting table 10, and the third heat generating circuit 13 is disposed in a circular zone at the center of the wafer mounting table 10. The second heat generating circuit 12 is disposed in an intermediate annular zone sandwiched between these two zones.

なお、本発明の加熱ヒータは上記したようにウエハ載置面10aを3つのゾーンに区分する場合に限定されるものではなく、ウエハ載置面10aを2つのゾーンに区分してもよいし、4つ以上のゾーンに区分してもよい。また、区分のしかたは、上記のようにウエハ載置面10aを半径方向に区分する場合に限定されるものではなく、ウエハ載置面10aを周方向に区分してもよいし、半径方向の区分と周方向の区分とが混在していてもよい。   The heater of the present invention is not limited to the case where the wafer mounting surface 10a is divided into three zones as described above, and the wafer mounting surface 10a may be divided into two zones, You may divide into four or more zones. Further, the way of division is not limited to the case where the wafer mounting surface 10a is divided in the radial direction as described above, and the wafer mounting surface 10a may be divided in the circumferential direction or in the radial direction. There may be a mixture of sections and circumferential sections.

本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータ2では、上記の3つの発熱回路は、ウエハ載置台10の内部において、厚み方向に異なる3つの面上にそれぞれ位置している。すなわち、第1発熱回路11はウエハ載置面10aに最も近い面上に位置しており、第2発熱回路12はウエハ載置台10の厚み方向のほぼ中央の面上に位置しており、第3発熱回路13はウエハ載置面10aから最も遠い面上に位置している。なお、ウエハ載置台10内の第1発熱回路11及び第3発熱回路13の位置は逆であってもよい。   In the wafer heater 2 according to one specific example of the present invention, the three heating circuits described above are located on three different surfaces in the thickness direction inside the wafer mounting table 10. That is, the first heat generating circuit 11 is located on the surface closest to the wafer mounting surface 10a, and the second heat generating circuit 12 is located on the substantially central surface of the wafer mounting table 10 in the thickness direction. The three heat generating circuit 13 is located on the surface farthest from the wafer placement surface 10a. The positions of the first heat generating circuit 11 and the third heat generating circuit 13 in the wafer mounting table 10 may be reversed.

かかる構造により、各ゾーンの発熱回路の両端部は他のゾーンの発熱回路に物理的に干渉することなくウエハ載置台10の中心部にまで引き込むことが可能になる。また、他のゾーン内を通過する両端部の引き込み部分は、当該他のゾーンのほぼ全面積を使うことができるので、例えば薄膜状の抵抗発熱体の場合は、当該両端部の引き込み部分を幅広にしてそこから実質的にジュール熱が発生しないようにできる。これにより、当該両端部の引き込み部分によって他のゾーンの均熱性が乱れるのを防ぐことができる。   With this structure, both end portions of the heat generating circuit in each zone can be drawn to the center of the wafer mounting table 10 without physically interfering with the heat generating circuits in other zones. In addition, since the drawing area at both ends passing through the other zone can use almost the entire area of the other zone, for example, in the case of a thin film resistance heating element, the drawing area at the both ends is wide. Thus, Joule heat can be substantially prevented from being generated therefrom. Thereby, it can prevent that the soaking | uniform-heating property of another zone is disturb | confused by the drawing-in part of the said both ends.

本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータ2では、上記の3つの発熱回路の一端部11a、12a、13aは全てウエハ載置台10の中心部で重なっている。そして、これら3つの一端部11a、12a、13aが重なっている部分を貫通する有底穴10bがウエハ載置台10の下面側に設けられている。有底穴10bの内壁部では上記の3つの発熱回路の一端部11a、12a、13aが露出しているので、この有底穴10bにウエハ載置台10の下面側からロッド状の共通端子部14を挿入することで、該共通端子部14を共通端子としてこれら3つの発熱回路の一端部11a、12a、13aに接続することができる。   In the wafer heater 2 according to a specific example of the present invention, the one end portions 11 a, 12 a, and 13 a of the three heat generating circuits are all overlapped at the center of the wafer mounting table 10. A bottomed hole 10 b that penetrates a portion where these three one end portions 11 a, 12 a, and 13 a overlap is provided on the lower surface side of the wafer mounting table 10. Since the one end portions 11a, 12a, and 13a of the three heat generating circuits are exposed at the inner wall portion of the bottomed hole 10b, the rod-shaped common terminal portion 14 from the lower surface side of the wafer mounting table 10 is exposed to the bottomed hole 10b. By inserting the common terminal portion 14, the common terminal portion 14 can be connected to the one end portions 11 a, 12 a, and 13 a of these three heat generating circuits.

本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータ2では、図3に示すように、上記の有底穴10bは奥に行くに従って縮径するテーパー構造になっており、このテーパー構造の内壁を覆うように上記した3つの発熱回路の一端部11a、12a、13aは一体となって漏斗状のメタライズ層15を形成している。そして、この漏斗状のメタライズ層15のテーパー部に面で当接するように、上記したロッド状の共通端子部14は先端部14aが先細の切頭円錐形状になっている。これにより、上記した3つの発熱回路の一端部11a、12a、13aと共通端子部14との電気的接続を安定化させることができる。   In the wafer heater 2 of one specific example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottomed hole 10b has a taper structure with a diameter decreasing toward the back, and covers the inner wall of the taper structure. The one end portions 11a, 12a, and 13a of the three heat generating circuits described above integrally form a funnel-shaped metallized layer 15. The rod-like common terminal portion 14 has a truncated conical shape with a tapered tip 14a so as to come into contact with the tapered portion of the funnel-shaped metallized layer 15 on the surface. Thereby, the electrical connection between the one end portions 11a, 12a, and 13a of the three heat generating circuits and the common terminal portion 14 can be stabilized.

上記のメタライズ層の材質としてはW(タングステン)またはMo(モリブデン)が好ましく、その厚みは5〜50μm程度、有底穴10bの最も深い部分に位置する縮径部の内径は0.2〜2mm程度、有底穴10bの開口部に位置する拡径部の内径は6〜10mm程度が好ましい。また、共通端子部14の材質としてはタングステンが好ましい。共通端子部14をウエハ載置台10に固定する方法としては、限定するものではないが、例えば図3に示すように切頭円錐形状部の近傍に位置する円柱部の先端部分にツバ状の突出部14bを設け、この突出部とウエハ載置台10の下面との対向部分にガラス材を封入することで良好に固定することができる。   The material of the metallized layer is preferably W (tungsten) or Mo (molybdenum), the thickness thereof is about 5 to 50 μm, and the inner diameter of the reduced diameter portion located at the deepest portion of the bottomed hole 10b is 0.2 to 2 mm. The inner diameter of the expanded portion located at the opening of the bottomed hole 10b is preferably about 6 to 10 mm. Further, tungsten is preferable as the material of the common terminal portion 14. A method for fixing the common terminal portion 14 to the wafer mounting table 10 is not limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a flange-like protrusion is formed at the tip of a cylindrical portion located in the vicinity of the truncated cone-shaped portion. A portion 14b is provided, and a glass material is sealed in a portion where the protruding portion and the lower surface of the wafer mounting table 10 are opposed to each other.

上記の3つの発熱回路11、12、13の他端部は、共通の端子部14の近傍に位置する端子16、17、18にそれぞれ接合している。そして、これら4つの端子部に4本の引出線19の一端部がそれぞれ接続している。これら4本の引出線18は支持部材20の内側で下端まで延在し、チャンバー1の底面に設けられている貫通孔1aを通ってチャンバー1の外部に引き出される。   The other end portions of the three heat generating circuits 11, 12, and 13 are joined to terminals 16, 17, and 18 located in the vicinity of the common terminal portion 14, respectively. And the one end part of the four leader lines 19 is connected to these four terminal parts, respectively. These four lead wires 18 extend to the lower end inside the support member 20, and are drawn out of the chamber 1 through the through holes 1 a provided in the bottom surface of the chamber 1.

上記したように、本発明の一具体例のウエハ加熱ヒータでは、3つの発熱回路に対して合計4個の端子部を設けるだけでよいので、ウエハ載置台の下面側をコンパクトな構造にすることができ、円筒状の支持部材の内側を簡素化することができる。なお、本発明の加熱ヒータは上記したようにウエハ載置台に埋設されている全ての発熱回路の一端部を共通の端子部に接続させる構造に限定されるものではなく、一部の発熱回路の一端部だけを共通の端子部に接続させる構造でもよい。また、複数の発熱回路の端部群と共通端子との接続は、上記したメタライズ層を介した接続に限定されるものではなく、カシメ、溶接、ロウ接、ネジ止め等の接合手段で接続してもよい。   As described above, in the wafer heater according to one specific example of the present invention, it is only necessary to provide a total of four terminal portions for the three heating circuits, so that the lower surface side of the wafer mounting table has a compact structure. And the inside of the cylindrical support member can be simplified. Note that the heater of the present invention is not limited to a structure in which one end portion of all the heating circuits embedded in the wafer mounting table is connected to a common terminal portion as described above. A structure in which only one end portion is connected to a common terminal portion may be used. Further, the connection between the end groups of the plurality of heat generating circuits and the common terminal is not limited to the connection through the metallized layer described above, but is connected by a joining means such as caulking, welding, brazing, or screwing. May be.

以上、本発明の加熱ヒータについて一具体例を挙げて説明したが、本発明は係る具体例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の主旨から逸脱しない範囲の種々の態様で実施することが可能である。すなわち、本発明の技術的範囲は、特許請求の範囲及び均等物に及ぶものである。   As mentioned above, although the specific example was given and demonstrated about the heater of this invention, this invention is not limited to the example which concerns, It can implement in the various aspects of the range which does not deviate from the main point of this invention.

A slurry was prepared by adding 0.5 parts by mass of yttrium oxide as a sintering aid to 99.5 parts by mass of the aluminum nitride powder, adding a binder and an organic solvent, and mixing them with a ball mill. The obtained slurry was sprayed by a spray drying method to produce granules, which were press-molded to produce three molded bodies. These compacts were degreased at 700 ° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere and then sintered at 1850 ° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain three aluminum nitride sintered bodies. The obtained sintered body was processed into a disk shape having a diameter of 330 mm and a thickness of 8 mm. At this time, the surface roughness Ra was 0.8 μm, and the flatness was 50 μm.

これら3枚の窒化アルミニウム焼結体のうち、最下部となる1枚目の焼結体の上面の直径160mmの中央部の円形ゾーンにWペーストで線幅4mm、厚み20μmの円形同心円パターンをスクリーン印刷により塗布し、中間部となる2枚目の焼結体の上面の直径160mmの中央部の円形ゾーンよりも外周側の環状ゾーンにWペーストで線幅4mm、厚み20μmの環状同心円パターンをスクリーン印刷により塗布した。そして、これらWペーストを窒素雰囲気中の700℃での脱脂と1830℃での焼成を行って発熱回路を形成した。なお、上記2枚目の外周側の環状ゾーンの発熱回路の両端部は、中央部の円形ゾーンの中心部分まで、該中央部の円形ゾーンのほぼ全面を覆う幅広の引き込み線で引き込み、そのうちの一方は、3枚の焼結体を重ね合わせた時に上記の1枚目の中央部の円形ゾーンの発熱回路の一端部に重なる位置に配した。   Of these three aluminum nitride sintered bodies, a circular concentric pattern having a line width of 4 mm and a thickness of 20 μm is screened with a W paste in a circular zone at the center of the diameter of 160 mm on the upper surface of the first sintered body as the lowermost part. An annular concentric pattern with a line width of 4 mm and a thickness of 20 μm is applied to the annular zone on the outer peripheral side of the circular zone at the center of the upper surface of the 160 mm diameter central portion of the upper surface of the second sintered body as an intermediate portion by screen printing. It was applied by printing. These W pastes were degreased at 700 ° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere and baked at 1830 ° C. to form a heating circuit. In addition, both ends of the heat generating circuit of the annular zone on the outer peripheral side of the second sheet are drawn into a central portion of the circular zone at the central portion by a wide lead line covering almost the entire surface of the central circular zone, One was arranged at a position overlapping one end of the heat generating circuit in the circular zone at the center of the first sheet when the three sintered bodies were superposed.

そして、2枚目の焼結体と最上部となる3枚目の焼結体の下面に接着用の窒化アルミニウムを主成分とする接着材料を塗布して脱脂した後、これら3枚の焼結体を重ね合わせて接合させた。このようにして得た接合体に対してその下面に、上記2つの発熱回路の一端部同士を貫通するテーパー構造の有底穴を設け、その内壁面を厚み20μmのW製のメタライズ層で被覆した。この時、テーパー構造の有底穴における縮径部の内径は1.5mm、開口部の内径は6.0mmとなった。そして、このテーパー構造の有底穴に先端部が切頭円錐形状を有するW製の外部端子を嵌合させた。一方、上記2つの発熱回路の他端部については、各々を貫通する有底穴をザグリ加工してW製の外部端子を嵌入した。このようにして試料1のウエハ載置台を作製した。   Then, after applying an adhesive material mainly composed of aluminum nitride for adhesion to the lower surface of the second sintered body and the uppermost third sintered body, degreasing, and then sintering these three sheets The bodies were overlapped and joined. The bonded body thus obtained is provided with a bottomed hole having a taper structure penetrating one end portions of the two heat generating circuits on the lower surface thereof, and the inner wall surface thereof is covered with a W metallization layer having a thickness of 20 μm. did. At this time, the inner diameter of the reduced diameter portion of the bottomed hole having a tapered structure was 1.5 mm, and the inner diameter of the opening portion was 6.0 mm. And the external terminal made from W which a front-end | tip part has a truncated cone shape was fitted to the bottomed hole of this taper structure. On the other hand, for the other end portions of the two heat generating circuits, a bottomed hole penetrating each other was counterbored and a W-made external terminal was inserted. In this way, a wafer mounting table for Sample 1 was produced.

A circular concentric pattern and a circular concentric pattern having a line width of 4 mm and a thickness of 20 μm were each applied to the annular zone by screen printing with W paste, and degreasing and firing were performed in the same manner as above to form a heating circuit. In addition, since both ends of the heat generating circuit on the outer peripheral side were drawn into the central circular zone, the circuit pattern of the heat generating circuit in the central circular zone was partially uneven. And after apply | coating an adhesive material to the lower surface of the other upper sintered body and degreasing similarly to the above, these two sintered bodies were piled up and joined. Four bottomed holes penetrating both ends of each of the two heat generating circuits were counterbored on the lower surface of the obtained joined body, and four W external terminals were fitted.

Specifically, the heater was heated to 500 ° C. by supplying power to the heating circuit of the heater. In this state, the temperature distribution on the wafer mounting surface was measured using a 300 mm, 17-point wafer thermometer manufactured by Sensory. As a result, the temperature difference in the sample 2 is 15 ° C., whereas the sample 1 is 10 ° C., and the sample 1 that satisfies the requirements of the present invention is more than the sample 2 that does not satisfy the requirements of the present invention. It was found that heat uniformity was excellent.
