【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial application field]

本考案は、半導体製造装置におけるシリコンウェハの固定、矯正、もしくは搬 送を行うために用いられるセラミック製静電チャックに関するものである。 This invention is designed to fix, straighten, or transport silicon wafers in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The present invention relates to a ceramic electrostatic chuck used for conveyance.

【従来の技術】[Conventional technology]

従来から用いられている静電チャックとしては、内部電極を絶縁性樹脂で被覆 したものが主流であったが、最近では耐食性、精度の優れたセラミック製静電チ ャックが使用されてきた(例えば特開昭62−264638号公報等参照)。 Conventionally used electrostatic chucks have internal electrodes coated with insulating resin. However, recently ceramic electrostatic chips with excellent corrosion resistance and precision have been introduced. A jack has been used (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-264638).

【0003】 このようなセラミック製静電チャックは、図3に示すようにセラミック板状体 10に内部電極20を埋設し、このセラミック板状体10を接合剤40によって ベース板30に固着した後、ベース板30に電圧印加用の電極取出部31を設け 、導線を接着、またはネジ止めなどにて固定したものであった。そして、電源5 0によって内部電極20とウェハ60間に電圧を印加すると、静電吸着力により ウェハ60をセラミック板状体10の吸着面11に吸着するようになっていた。0003 Such a ceramic electrostatic chuck consists of a ceramic plate-like body as shown in Fig. 3. An internal electrode 20 is embedded in the ceramic plate 10, and the ceramic plate 10 is bonded with a bonding agent 40. After being fixed to the base plate 30, an electrode extraction part 31 for voltage application is provided on the base plate 30. , conductor wires were fixed with adhesive or screws. And power supply 5 When a voltage is applied between the internal electrode 20 and the wafer 60 at 0, the electrostatic adsorption force causes The wafer 60 was attracted to the attraction surface 11 of the ceramic plate-like body 10.

【0004】 また、このような静電チャックを製造するには、テープ成形した複数のセラミ ック生成形体の間に電極を挟み込んで積層し、その積層群を加圧成形した後、一 体焼結し、最後に吸着面11を研磨することによって、内部電極20を備えたセ ラミック板状体10を得る方法が取られていた。0004 Additionally, manufacturing such an electrostatic chuck requires multiple tape-molded ceramics. The electrodes are sandwiched between the stacked bodies, and the laminated bodies are pressure-molded. By sintering the body and finally polishing the suction surface 11, the cell with the internal electrode 20 is made. A method of obtaining a lamic plate-shaped body 10 has been used.

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

ところが、上記のような従来のセラミック製静電チャックでは、セラミック生 成形体の段階で内部電極20を形成し、その後一体焼成しているため、焼成工程 において内部電極20に50μm程度の反りが発生することを避けられなかった 。そのため、吸着面11を研磨する際に、内部電極20と吸着面11の距離dを 0.3mm程度までしか小さくすることができず、吸着性能の低下を招くという 問題点があった。 However, with conventional ceramic electrostatic chucks such as those mentioned above, ceramic Since the internal electrodes 20 are formed at the stage of the molded body and then integrally fired, there is no need for the firing process. In this case, it was unavoidable that a warp of about 50 μm would occur in the internal electrode 20. . Therefore, when polishing the suction surface 11, the distance d between the internal electrode 20 and the suction surface 11 is It is said that the size can only be reduced to about 0.3 mm, which leads to a decrease in suction performance. There was a problem.

【0006】 また、従来のセラミック製静電チャックは、セラミック生成形体の積層工程な ど、製造工程が煩雑であるだけでなく、上記セラミック成形体は不純物が混入し やすいため、作り置きすることができず、製造効率が悪いものであった。[0006] In addition, conventional ceramic electrostatic chucks are difficult to use due to the lamination process of ceramic formed bodies. Not only is the manufacturing process complicated, but the ceramic molded bodies mentioned above are often contaminated with impurities. Because it is easy to prepare, it cannot be prepared in advance, resulting in poor manufacturing efficiency.

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means to solve the problem]

上記問題点に鑑みて、本考案は焼成後のセラミック板状体の片面に電極を形成 し、この電極形成面に接合剤を介してベース板を固着して静電チャックを構成し たものである。 In view of the above problems, this invention forms an electrode on one side of a ceramic plate after firing. Then, a base plate is fixed to this electrode forming surface via a bonding agent to form an electrostatic chuck. It is something that

【実施例】【Example】

以下、図により本考案実施例を具体的に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

【0009】 図1、図2に示す静電チャックは、セラミック板状体1の一方の面を吸着面1 aとし、他方の面に電極2を形成しており、この電極2を形成した面に接合材4 を介在させてベース板3を固着してある。そして、ベース板3には電極取出部3 aを形成してあり、該電極取出部3aを通じて電極2とシリコンウェハ6の間に 電源5より電圧を印加すれば、上記吸着面1aにシリコンウェハ6を吸着するこ とができる。[0009] The electrostatic chuck shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a suction surface 1 on one side of a ceramic plate 1. a, an electrode 2 is formed on the other surface, and a bonding material 4 is formed on the surface on which the electrode 2 is formed. The base plate 3 is fixed with the intervening. The base plate 3 has an electrode extraction portion 3. a is formed between the electrode 2 and the silicon wafer 6 through the electrode extraction portion 3a. By applying a voltage from the power source 5, the silicon wafer 6 can be attracted to the attraction surface 1a. I can do that.

【0010】 なお、上記実施例では単極型の静電チャックを示したが、電極2を複数形成し 、これらの電極2間に電圧を印加するようにして双極型とすることもできる。0010 Although the above embodiment shows a monopolar electrostatic chuck, it is also possible to form a plurality of electrodes 2. , it is also possible to apply a voltage between these electrodes 2 to form a bipolar type.

【0011】 また、上記静電チャックを構成するセラミック板状体1は、直径50〜200 mmの大きさで、その材質はアルミナセラミックスなどでもよいが、チタン酸バ リウム(BaTiO3 )、チタン酸カルシウム(CaTiO3 )等を主成分とす る、比誘電率50以上の強誘電体セラミックスを用いることが望ましい。The ceramic plate 1 constituting the electrostatic chuck has a diameter of 50 to 200 mm, and its material may be alumina ceramics, but it may also be made of barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), calcium titanate, etc. It is desirable to use a ferroelectric ceramic whose main component is (CaTiO 3 ) or the like and has a dielectric constant of 50 or more.

【0012】 これらのセラミック材料を所定形状に成形し、焼成してセラミック板状体1を 得る。そして、このセラミック板状体1の一方の面を吸着面1aとし、他方の面 に電極2を形成するが、この電極2を形成する面は、表面粗さ0.8S以下、平 坦度5μm以下、吸着面1aとの平行度5μm以下となるように予め研磨してお き、スクリーン印刷、溶射などの手段でAg、Ag−Pdなどからなる電極2を 形成する。このように、焼成後のセラミック板状体1に電極2を形成することに よって、電極2に反りが発生することはなく、そのため電極2と吸着面1aとの 距離dを0.1mm程度にまで小さくすることができる。また、電極2自体の平 坦度も高くすることができることから、本考案の静電チャックは、吸着力を高く 、かつ均一にすることができる。0012 These ceramic materials are formed into a predetermined shape and fired to form a ceramic plate-like body 1. obtain. One surface of this ceramic plate-like body 1 is used as an adsorption surface 1a, and the other surface is The electrode 2 is formed on the surface, and the surface on which the electrode 2 is formed has a surface roughness of 0.8S or less and a flat surface. Polished in advance so that the flatness is 5 μm or less and the parallelism with the suction surface 1a is 5 μm or less. Then, the electrode 2 made of Ag, Ag-Pd, etc. is formed by screen printing, thermal spraying, etc. Form. In this way, the electrode 2 is formed on the ceramic plate 1 after firing. Therefore, the electrode 2 does not warp, and therefore the contact between the electrode 2 and the suction surface 1a is The distance d can be reduced to about 0.1 mm. Also, the flatness of the electrode 2 itself Since the electrostatic chuck of this invention can also have high flatness, it has a high adsorption force. , and can be made uniform.

【0013】 また、ベース板3はアルミナ、フォルステライトなどのセラミック材を用いる ことによって、高剛性で、かつ電極2との間の絶縁を保つことができるため、電 子ビーム描画装置に好適に使用することができる。さらに、ベース板3としてア ルミニウムなどの金属材を用いることもできるが、この場合は電極2に対して絶 縁を保つ必要がある。また、これらのベース板3とセラミック板状体1とを固着 するためには、接合材4として、ガラス、有機系接着剤、シリコーンなどを用い ればよい。[0013] In addition, the base plate 3 is made of ceramic material such as alumina or forsterite. By doing so, it is possible to maintain high rigidity and insulation between the electrode 2 and the electric current. It can be suitably used in a child beam drawing device. Furthermore, as base plate 3, It is also possible to use a metal material such as aluminum, but in this case it is necessary to We need to maintain our ties. In addition, these base plates 3 and the ceramic plate-like body 1 are fixedly attached. In order to do this, glass, organic adhesive, silicone, etc. are used as the bonding material 4. That's fine.

【0014】 このように、本考案の静電チャックは電極2の平坦度を高くできるため、吸着 力を高く、かつ均一にできる。また、構造が簡単であり、セラミック板状体1を 作り置きすることもできるため、製造が容易であり、工程時間を短くすることが できる。[0014] In this way, the electrostatic chuck of the present invention can increase the flatness of the electrode 2, making it easier to attract Force can be made high and uniform. In addition, the structure is simple, and the ceramic plate 1 is Since it can be made in advance, manufacturing is easy and process time can be shortened. can.

【0015】 ここで、本考案実施例として、セラミック板状体1をCaTiO3 を主成分と し、焼結助剤を含有するセラミックス(比誘電率100)で形成し、直径を15 0mm、厚み(電極2と吸着面1aの距離)dを0.4mmとした。このセラミ ック板状体1の片面を表面粗さ0.8S、平坦度3μmに研磨し、Pdからなる 電極2をスクリーン印刷により形成した。さらに、この電極2を形成した面に接 合剤4としてガラスを塗布し、フォルステライトからなるベース板3に固着して 本考案の静電チャックを試作した。これに対し、比較例として、同じ材質、大き さで、図3に示す構造の静電チャックを試作した。なお、比較例の静電チャック では、内部電極20と吸着面11との距離dは0.4mmとした。Here, as an embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic plate 1 is made of ceramic (relative dielectric constant 100) containing CaTiO 3 as a main component and a sintering aid, and has a diameter of 150 mm and a thickness ( The distance d between the electrode 2 and the suction surface 1a was set to 0.4 mm. One side of this ceramic plate 1 was polished to a surface roughness of 0.8S and a flatness of 3 μm, and an electrode 2 made of Pd was formed by screen printing. Further, glass was applied as a bonding agent 4 to the surface on which the electrode 2 was formed, and it was fixed to a base plate 3 made of forsterite to fabricate a prototype electrostatic chuck of the present invention. On the other hand, as a comparative example, an electrostatic chuck having the structure shown in FIG. 3 was manufactured using the same material and size. In addition, in the electrostatic chuck of the comparative example, the distance d between the internal electrode 20 and the suction surface 11 was 0.4 mm.

【0016】 これらの、本考案および比較例の静電チャックに対し、同一条件で600Vの 直流電圧を印加し、ウェハの吸着力を測定したところ、比較例では吸着力100 kg/cm2 であったのに対し、本考案では吸着力160kg/cm2 と優れた 吸着力を示した。これは、本考案の静電チャックは電極2と吸着面1aの距離d が小さく、かつ電極2の平坦度が高いためである。When a DC voltage of 600 V was applied to the electrostatic chucks of the present invention and the comparative example under the same conditions and the wafer adsorption force was measured, the adsorption force of the comparative example was 100 kg/cm 2 . On the other hand, the present invention showed an excellent adsorption force of 160 kg/cm 2 . This is because, in the electrostatic chuck of the present invention, the distance d between the electrode 2 and the suction surface 1a is small, and the flatness of the electrode 2 is high.

【0017】 また、上記本考案および比較例の静電チャックについて、製造に必要な時間を 比較したところ、本考案は比較例に比べ、全工程時間の20%程度短縮できるこ とが確認できた。[0017] Also, regarding the electrostatic chucks of the present invention and comparative example, the time required for manufacturing is A comparison showed that the present invention can reduce the total process time by about 20% compared to the comparative example. I was able to confirm that.
