Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrostatic chuck used in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a bipolar electrostatic chuck for attracting an object to be inspected such as a wafer or a substrate by applying a voltage to a bipolar electrode pattern .
Generally, it is important to improve the positioning accuracy by adsorbing and fixing the wafer or the substrate at a predetermined position when the circuit is highly integrated or the pattern is finely patterned in the semiconductor manufacturing process.
Conventionally, vacuum chucks or mechanical chucks are known as means for adsorbing and fixing a wafer or a substrate during a semiconductor manufacturing process. However, since the vacuum chuck is processed under vacuum, there is a problem that the adsorption force is weak, there is a problem of substrate deformation due to local adsorption, and a mechanical chuck is complicated and the maintenance is difficult.
Recently, an electrostatic chuck using electrostatic force has been widely adopted as an alternative to the conventional substrate attraction and fixing method. The electrostatic chuck is a bipolar electrostatic chuck having a unipolar electrostatic chuck having one electrode itself and two electrodes.
The bipolar electrostatic chuck comprises a support such as a metal, an interdigitated electrode pattern formed by alternately patterning positive and negative electrodes formed on the upper surface of the support, and an insulating layer formed thereon, When a voltage is applied to the electrode pattern in a state in which an object to be adsorbed such as a substrate is placed on the insulating layer, Coulomb's force acts in such a manner that the object attracts the object. These bipolar electrostatic chucks are widely used in large-area substrate processing because they have a relatively strong attraction force at low voltage compared to unipolar electrostatic chucks.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a manufacturing method of a bipolar electrostatic chuck according to a conventional method. Referring to FIG. 1, an
On the other hand, since the spacing width of the electrode pattern of the bipolar electrostatic chuck is advantageous as the size is small as a factor of influencing the attraction force, the gap between the electrodes of the electrode pattern is narrowly narrowed and a new method The request is still in existence.
It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a new bipolar electrostatic chuck capable of finely controlling a distance between electrodes of an electrode pattern and suppressing interference or short- And a manufacturing method thereof.

Specifically, such mechanical polishing is used for milling, and the surface is polished by Polishing M / C and Lapping to finely adjust the surface roughness required for the contact surface with the substrate such as the wafer to be adsorbed. Surface polishing accompanied by electrode formation and coating processes is the main process that determines the function of the electrostatic chuck. The surface roughness value should be kept below 5 μm. If the surface roughness value is high, It becomes difficult to uniformly charge the chuck.
