Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. P2004-191106, filed on Jun. 29, 2004; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a substrate mounting apparatus and a control method of substrate temperature.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In a semiconductor manufacturing process and a liquid crystal display manufacturing process, a substrate mounting apparatus such as a susceptor, an electrostatic chuck, or a ceramic heater with a heating element is used to mount a substrate such as a silicon wafer or a glass substrate.
- In semiconductor manufacturing processes, temperature distribution in a substrate surface causes in-plane variation of the substrate in quality of formed thin films and in etching characteristics. Therefore, the substrate surface having uniform temperature distribution is desired. However, the temperature distribution in the substrate surface is significantly affected by not only temperature distribution of the substrate mounting apparatus such as a ceramic heater, but also use environment such as heat input distribution due to plasma.
- Therefore, even if temperature distribution in the substrate mounting surface of the substrate mounting apparatus itself is controlled to be uniform, it is difficult to obtain uniform temperature distribution in the actual substrate surface due to external factors. Accordingly, to optimize the temperature distribution of the substrate, optimization of plasma conditions and adjustments of shape and material arranged around the substrate mounting apparatus are carried out.
- An electrostatic chuck having a substrate mounting surface, which is controlled for an unevenness by location based on heat input distribution due to plasma has been proposed (Japanese patent application laid-open Hei 7-18438). In addition, a multi-zone heater, in which ceramic base constituting a substrate mounting surface is divided into multiple zones, heating elements are buried in the respective zones, and control heating values of heating elements respectively has been proposed (Japanese patent application laid-open 2001-52843).
- However, there is a limited effective control range for conventional optimization of the temperature distribution of the substrate through optimization of plasma conditions, adjustments of shape and material arranged around the substrate mounting apparatus, and control of the unevenness of the substrate mounting surface.
- On the other hand, according to a technique of burying optimal heating elements for respective zones with consideration of expected plasma irradiation conditions, heater design is great burden and cost of a substrate mounting apparatus is high. Moreover, after manufacturing a substrate mounting apparatus, since it is difficult to correct the substrate mounting apparatus in accordance with changes in use environments, it does not have general versatility. Furthermore, in the case of a required substrate temperature being relatively low, since substrates need to be cooled rather than being heated by a heater, control of the temperature distribution of a substrate surface is desired using a mechanism without a heater.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate mounting apparatus and a control method of substrate temperature, which can control temperature distribution of a substrate and are simple and versatile.
- A substrate mounting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a ceramic base having a substrate mounting surface, and a jointing layer, which is formed on an opposite surface to the substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base, and has jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity by in-plane regions and arranged in the regions.
- According to the substrate mounting apparatus, the temperature distribution of a substrate mounted on the substrate mounting surface can be controlled with simple structure.
- According to a control method of substrate temperature of an embodiment of the present invention comprises controlling temperature distribution of a substrate mounted on a ceramic base by controlling in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of a jointing layer formed on an opposite surface to a substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base.
- According to the control method of substrate temperature, the temperature distribution of a substrate mounted on the substrate mounting surface can be controlled with a simple and versatile way.

FIG. 1A shows a cross-section of asubstrate mounting apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1 comprises aceramic base 10 and a jointinglayer 20. Theceramic base 10 has asubstrate mounting surface 10 a. Specifically, one surface of the platyceramic base 10 is asubstrate mounting surface 10 a. The jointinglayer 20 is formed on the other surface of theceramic base 10, i.e., the opposite surface to thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a. The jointinglayer 20 is divided into multiple regions in its plane. - More specifically, the jointing
layer 20 is divided into multiple regions in the same plane extending direction as thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a extending direction. Jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity by the in-plane regions are arranged in respective regions. It is preferable that thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1 comprises abase plate 30 joined to theceramic base 10 with thejointing layer 20 interposed between thebase plate 30 and theceramic base 10, as shown inFIG. 1A . Thebase plate 30 is a platy pedestal. - According to the
substrate mounting apparatus 1, the in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of the jointinglayer 20 arranged on the opposite surface to thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a of theceramic base 10 can be controlled. Therefore, cooling efficiency due to heat transfer from a substrate mounted on thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a to theceramic base 10 and thejointing layer 20 can be changed by location. Accordingly, the in-plane temperature distribution of the substrate mounted on theceramic base 10 can be controlled. - Moreover, joining of the
base plate 30 to theceramic base 10 with thejointing layer 20 allows thermal conduction to thebase plate 30 from the substrate via thejointing layer 20, thereby radiating heat. Therefore, the substrate can be cooled more effectively. As a result, an effect of a temperature control function by controlling the in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of the jointinglayer 20 can enhance. -
FIG. 1B shows a plane view of the jointinglayer 20. The jointinglayer 20 is divided into two regions, which are a central part and an peripheral part in a plane. In other words, a plurality of regions are the central part and the peripheral part in a plane. Afirst jointing material 20B is arranged in the central part. Asecond jointing material 20A differing in a thermal conductivity from the first jointing material is arranged in the peripheral part. This allows control of the in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of thejointing layer 20. - When using the
substrate mounting apparatus 1 in a plasma processing apparatus such as a plasma CVD apparatus or a plasma dry etching apparatus, the temperature distribution in the substrate surface is a higher temperature in the peripheral part of the substrate than in the central part. This is attributed to the fact that a temperature in the peripheral part of the substrate surface tends to be higher than that in the central part of the substrate surface due to influence of plasma intensity distribution and apparatus structure. Accordingly, when using thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1 in such an environment, a jointing material having a low thermal conductivity is arranged as thefirst jointing material 20B in the central part of thejointing layer 20. A jointing material having a higher thermal conductivity than that of thefirst jointing material 20B is arranged as thesecond jointing material 20A in the peripheral part of thejointing layer 20. - According to arranging a jointing material having a high thermal conductivity in the peripheral part, the peripheral part of the substrate where the substrate temperature tends to be easily high, can be effectively cooled. Therefore, an excessive temperature rising can be prevented. Moreover, according to arranging a jointing material having a low thermal conductivity in the central part, cooling the substrate can be suppressed in the central part of the substrate where the substrate temperature tends to be easily low. As a result, uneven temperature distribution of the substrate surface due to the plasma intensity distribution and apparatus structure can be corrected, providing a uniform temperature distribution of the substrate surface.
- In
FIGS. 1A and 1B , thejointing layer 20 is divided into two regions, which are the central part and the peripheral part, and thefirst jointing material 20B and thesecond jointing material 20A differing in a thermal conductivity are arranged in the central part and the peripheral part, respectively, however, the jointing layer may be divided into three regions as shown inFIG. 2A . More specifically, the jointing layer may be divided into a central part, a peripheral part, and an intermediate part between the central part and the peripheral part. Then thefirst jointing material 20B may be arranged in the central part, thesecond jointing material 20A may be arranged in the peripheral part, and thethird jointing material 20C may be arranged in the intermediate part. For example, jointing materials may be arranged in such a manner that the further inward the region, the lower the thermal conductivity. In other words, a jointing material having a low thermal conductivity may be arranged as thefirst jointing material 20B, a jointing material having a higher thermal conductivity than thefirst jointing material 20B may be arranged as thethird jointing material 20C, and a jointing material having a higher thermal conductivity than thethird jointing material 20C may be arranged as thesecond jointing material 20A. Alternatively, the number of divided regions may be increased as necessary. - Note that the temperature distribution in the substrate surface is not limited to a distribution having low temperature in the central part of the substrate and high temperature in the peripheral part thereof, and may be a variety of distributions due to use conditions and apparatus structure. Therefore, it is desired to control the in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of the jointing layer in accordance with the temperature distribution in the substrate surface.
- Moreover, a form of dividing regions for the
jointing layer 20 is not limited to concentrically dividing from the center. A variety of dividing forms may be used based on the necessary temperature control conditions. For example, when the substrate mounting apparatus has through-holes for lift pins and a purge gas, the temperatures of the substrate surface corresponding to regions where through-holes are formed, may be locally high or low. In this case, to correct local changes in temperature, jointing materials having a different thermal conductivity from that of surrounding regions may be arranged in the regions of the jointing layer corresponding to the through-holes, as shown inFIG. 2B . - For example, when the jointing layer has the
first jointing material 20B in the central part and thesecond jointing material 20A in the peripheral part, thethird jointing material 20D differing in a thermal conductivity from thefirst jointing material 20B may be arranged in the regions corresponding to the through-holes in thefirst jointing material 20B in the central part. In addition, when a temperature of a part of the substrate tends to easily drop due to influence of an exhaust port or other components in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus in which thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1 is arranged, jointing materials having a low thermal conductivity may be arranged in regions of thejointing layer 20 corresponding to regions where the temperature tends to easily drop. - According to such controlling method of the in-plane thermal conductivity distribution of the jointing materials in the
jointing layer 20, the temperature distribution in the substrate surface can be controlled with a simple way. Moreover, thejointing layer 20 can be easily removed by using an organic jointing material. - Therefore, modification of thermal conductivity distribution in the
jointing layer 20 can be easily provided according to changes in use environment for thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1. Therefore, thesubstrate mounting apparatus 1 has high versatility. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B showsubstrate mounting apparatus FIG. 3A , it is preferable that thesubstrate mounting apparatus 2 includes anelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 buried in theceramic base 10 and thereby having an electrostatic chuck function. Thesubstrate mounting apparatus 2 can improve heat transfer efficiency from thesubstrate mounting apparatus 2 to a substrate by closely fixing the substrate to a mounting surface of theceramic base 10 using the electrostatic chuck function. Therefore, accurate control of the temperature distribution of the substrate is possible. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 3B , asubstrate mounting apparatus 3 including aresistance heating element 50 andelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 buried in theceramic base 10 may be provided. Alternatively, burying onlyresistance heating element 50 in theceramic base 10 without burying theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 is possible. Thesubstrate mounting apparatus 3 having theresistance heating element 50 can serve as a heater. Therefore, thesubstrate mounting apparatus 3 can raise substrate temperature. Furthermore, using a multi-zone heater, which can set temperatures of respective regions as theresistance heating elements 50, allows control of temperature over a wider range. - Furthermore, as shown in
FIG. 3B , abase plate 30 a may include a cooling unit. Thebase plate 30 a includes acoolant flow channel 60 through whichcoolant 10 circulates as a cooling unit. A substrate mounting apparatus having such a cooling unit may be used for, for example, a radio frequency plasma processing apparatus or the like to lower the substrate temperature heightened through plasma irradiation. - Moreover, a substrate mounting apparatus can improve in-plane temperature distribution control function by combining a means controlling in-plane temperature distribution of a substrate. As shown in
FIGS. 4A and 4B , for example, theceramic base 10 may have multiple protrusions on asubstrate mounting surface 10 a. Moreover, protrusions are formed such that contact area of each of the protrusions with a mounted substrate can differ for every region. In other words, contact areas of the protrusions with the substrate differ by location. This allows further control of in-plane temperature distribution of the substrate. Note that those contact areas correspond to areas of top surface of respective protrusions. - In the case of using a
substrate mounting apparatus 4 in a plasma processing apparatus, when the surface temperature of the central part of the substrate is low and that of the peripheral part thereof is high,protrusions 70C each having a small contact area with the substrate are formed in the central part of thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a of theceramic base 10, as shown inFIGS. 4A and 4B , for example.Protrusions 70B each having a larger contact area than eachprotrusion 70C are formed surrounding theprotrusions 70C.Protrusions 70A each having a larger contact area with the substrate thanprotrusion 70B are formed in the periphery of theprotrusions 70B. In other words, the peripheral part of thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a has larger contact areas than the central part thereof. Since the contact areas of theprotrusions 70C in the central part of thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a with a substrate are small, cooling effects due to heat transfer can be suppressed. Since the contact areas of theprotrusions 70A in the peripheral part of thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a with the substrate are large, cooling effects due to heat transfer can be advanced. As a result, uneven temperature distribution of the substrate due to plasma intensity distribution and the apparatus structure can be corrected. - Here, the
substrate mounting surface 10 a is concentrically divided into three regions, andprotrusions FIG. 4B . In other words, the contact area in the central part of the substrate mounting surface is larger than that in the peripheral part thereof. - In this manner, controlling the contact area distribution of the protrusions on the
substrate mounting surface 10 a in addition to controlling the in-plane temperature distribution of thejointing layer 20 can be carried out. This can fine adjust the temperature distribution of the substrate. Therefore, a desired accurate temperature distribution can be provided. - Next, materials of the substrate mounting apparatus are described. The
ceramic base 10 may be made of a variety of ceramics. For example, oxide ceramics such as alumina (Al2O3), nitride ceramics such as aluminum nitride (AlN) silicon nitride (Si3N4), boron nitride (BN), or sialon, or carbide ceramics such as silicon carbide (SiC) may be used as a dense sintered body. Aluminum nitride can be preferably used, since it has high corrosion resistance and a high thermal conductivity. - Note that the shape of the
ceramic base 10 may be selected from a variety of shapes according to the size and the shape of substrates to be mounted. The shape of the substrate mounting surface is not limited to circular form, and alternatively, it may be rectangle or polygon. - Moreover, the material of the
base plate 30 is not limited either. It is preferable that thebase plate 30 is made of metallic material or composite material including metal and ceramics, which has a relatively high thermal conductivity, for example. Thebase plate 30 may be made of, for example, Al, Cu, brass, SUS or the like. - The ceramic material included in the composite material is not limited. A porous ceramic or the like having the same or different as from the
ceramic base 10 may be used. For example, alumina, aluminum nitride, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, sialon, or the like may be used. Meanwhile, it is preferable that a metal filled in the porous ceramic material has high corrosion resistance and is easy to fill. For example, alumina, alloy of alumina and silicon, or the like may be used. Furthermore, it is preferable that thebase plate 30 has a cooling unit such as acoolant flow channel 60. - An organic jointing material or an inorganic jointing material such as inorganic glass may be used as the jointing material constituting the
jointing layer 20. However, it is preferable to use an organic jointing material as the jointing material. It is further preferable to use a jointing material having a low jointing temperature. According to this, the difference in thermal expansion between thebase plate 30 and theceramic base 10 decreases. - In the
substrate mounting apparatus 1, thejointing layer 20 is divided into multiple regions in a plane. Jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity by regions are used. For example, jointing materials differing in composition may be used in respective regions. Alternatively, a jointing material made of an organic base material such as a resin base material including filler may be used. In other words a jointing material may include a resin base material and filler added to the resin base material. Then, a desired thermal conductivity may be provided by controlling the content of the filler. For example, it is preferable to use a resin such as polyimide resin, silicone resin, or acrylic resin as a base material and add filler such as alumina, aluminum nitride, titanium boride, or aluminum thereto. In particular, it is preferable to use acrylic resin as a base material. - The thermal conductivity of the jointing material is not limited. For example, in the case of arranging a jointing material having a high thermal conductivity in one region and a jointing material having a low thermal conductivity in the other region, the high thermal conductivity may be about 1.1 to about 100 times the low thermal conductivity. Alternatively, a jointing material having more than 100 times the low thermal conductivity may be used as necessary.
- Note that to facilitate handling in a manufacturing process, a sheet of an organic jointing material or an adhesive sheet, which is an organic adhesive is applied to both sides of an organic resin sheet may be used as the
jointing layer 20. - When using the
ceramic base 10 having theelectrostatic chuck electrodes 40 buried therein as shown inFIG. 3A , Coulomb's force between theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 and a substrate, or Johnsen-Rahbeck force between a surface of theceramic base 10 and the substrate may be used as an electrostatic chucking mechanism. In the case of using Coulomb's force, it is preferable that the resistivity of theceramic base 10, more specifically, the resistivity of the dielectric layer between the substrate mounting surface and theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 is equal to or greater than about 1014 Ω·cm at a working temperature and a thickness of the dielectric layer is equal to or less than about 0.5 mm. On the other hand, in the case of using Johnsen-Rahbeck force, it is preferable that the resistivity of the dielectric layer is about 107 Ω·cm to about 1012 Ω·cm at a working temperature and a thickness of the dielectric layer is about 0.2 mm to about 5 mm. - The
electrostatic chuck electrode 40 may be made of a refractory conductive material such as molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), molybdenum carbide (MoC), or tungsten carbide (WC), and form thereof is not limited. For example, theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 may be a filmy electrode formed by printing, drying, and sintering a metallic paste, or a predetermined patterned electrode formed by etching a metallic thin film, which is formed by physical deposition such as sputtering or ion beam deposition or chemical deposition such as CVD. Alternatively, a bulk metal such as wire mesh (mesh bulk metal) may be used as theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40. - In the case of forming the
ceramic base 10 havingresistance heating element 50 buried therein as shown inFIG. 3B , theresistance heating element 50 may be made of a refractory conductive material such as molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), molybdenum carbide (MoC), or tungsten carbide (WC). Other than refractory conductive materials, Ni, TiN, TiC, TaC, NbC, HfC, HfB2, ZrB2, carbon or the like may be used. Theresistance heating element 50 may be a variety of forms such as a linear form, a ribbon form, a mesh form, a coil spring form, a sheet form, or a printed form. - Next, a manufacturing method for the
substrate mounting apparatuses 1 to 4 is described. First, theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 are formed. To form theceramic base 10, a ceramic raw powder such as aluminum nitride and a sintering aid such as yttria (Y2O3), silica (SiO2) or alumina (Al2O3) are prepared in a predetermined compounding ratio, and then mixed using a pot mill or ball mill. - Such mixing may be carried out using a wet process or a dry process. When using the wet process, drying is carried out after mixing, providing the mixed raw powder. Afterwards, the mixed raw powder as is or a granulated powder prepared by adding a binder and then granulating is formed into a disc-shaped compact, for example. A method for forming the compact is not limited, and a variety of forming methods are available. For example, a metal mold forming method, a cold isostatic pressing (CIP) method, or a slip casting method may be used.
- Afterwards, the compact is sintered by a hot pressing method, atmospheric sintering method or the like to obtain a sintered body. In the case of aluminum nitride, sintering is carried out at about 1700° C. to about 1900° C. In the case of alumina, sintering is carried out at around 1600° C. In the case of sialon, sintering is carried out at about 1700° C. to about 1800° C. In the case of silicon carbide, sintering is carried out at about 2000° C. to about 2200° C.
- Note that in the case of burying the
electrostatic chuck electrode 40 and theresistance heating element 50 in theceramic base 10, theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 and theresistance heating element 50 may be buried in a compact. In the case of theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40, for example, planar electrode made of a metallic bulk having holes or mesh electrode (wire mesh) may be buried in the raw powder. In the case of burying theresistance heating element 50, a metallic bulk processed into a predetermined form such as a coil form or a spiral form may be buried in the same manner as theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40. It is preferable that theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 and theresistance heating element 50 are made of a refractory conductive material such as molybdenum or tungsten. - Alternatively, the
electrostatic chuck electrode 40 may be made of a filmy electrode formed by printing, drying, and sintering a metallic paste. In this case, in a forming a compact process, a green sheet layered body may be formed. For example, the green sheet layered body may be formed by preparing two disc-shaped green sheets, printing metallic paste for electrode on one surface of one green sheet, and stacking the other green sheet on the printed electrode. The green sheet layered body is then sintered. Thebase plate 30 is made of a composite material or metal. Acoolant flow channel 60 may be formed in thebase plate 30 a as necessary. - Next, the
ceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 are joined via thejointing layer 20. First, multiple jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity are arranged on the backside of the ceramic base 10 (the opposite surface to thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a). Jointing materials are arranged by patterning jointing materials on the surface of theceramic base 10 or the surface of thebase plate 30 through printing. Alternatively, multiple sheets of jointing materials may be arranged at predetermined positions between theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30. Afterwards, the jointing materials are heated in vacuum or in the air up to a curing temperature, and a certain pressure is applied, thereby joining theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30. - Such substrate mounting apparatus may be used as a susceptor, an electrostatic chuck, a ceramic heater or the like to be used in a semiconductor manufacturing process or a liquid crystal display manufacturing process.
- Simulation of temperature distribution in a substrate mounting surface is carried out for verification of effectiveness of the present invention and working examples of the present invention are described.
- The
jointing layer 20 arranged between theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 is divided into multiple regions in a plane, and simulation of temperature distribution of theceramic base 10 surface (substrate mounting surface 10 a) in the case of arranging jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity by regions is carried out using the finite element method. Note that the surface temperature of theceramic base 10 rises due to heat input from plasma when the substrate mounting apparatus is arranged in a plasma processing apparatus, however, in this simulation, assuming that temperature uniformly rises in a plane. - The object for this simulation is the
substrate mounting apparatus 2 shown inFIG. 3A . It has theceramic base 10 in which theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 is buried, and thebase plate 30 joined to theceramic base 10 via thejointing layer 20. Moreover, thejointing layer 20 is divided into two regions, which are a central part and a peripheral part. Then jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity are arranged in the central part and the peripheral part, respectively. Specifically, thefirst jointing material 20B is arranged in the central part, and thesecond jointing material 20A is arranged in the peripheral part. Table 1 shows sizes, materials and thermal conductivities of respective constructional members used for this simulation.TABLE 1 CONSTRUCTIONAL THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY MEMBER SIZE MATERIAL [W/mK] CERAMIC BASE DIAMETER: 200 mm AlN 90 THICKNESS: 5 mm Al2O3 30 JOINTING LAYER DIAMETER: 200 mm ACRYLIC NO. 1 1.4 THICKNESS: 0.23 mm RESIN NO. 2 0.6 NO. 3 0.1 BASE PLATE DIAMETER: 200 mm Al 180 THICKNESS: 15 mm - Tables 2 and 3 show thermal conductivities and diameters of the jointing layer, and heat input power. The size of the
first jointing material 20B in the central part is assumed to be 60 mm, 120 mm, and 140 mm in diameter. Note that it is assumed that the temperature at the bottom surface of thebase plate 30 is 20° C., and the energy (heat input power) from plasma inputting to theceramic base 10 is 300 W, 500 W, and 700 W. - Table 2 and
FIG. 5 show simulation results in the case of using aluminum nitride as the ceramic base. Table 3 andFIG. 6 show simulation results in the case of using alumina as the ceramic base. Tables 2 and 3 andFIGS. 5 and 6 show temperature differences ΔT between the center and the end of the substrate mounting surface as the temperature distribution in the substrate mounting surface. InFIGS. 5 and 6 , a vertical axis represents a temperature difference ΔT, and a horizontal axis represents a distance from the center of the substrate mounting surface.TABLE 2 DIAMETER OF HEAT INPUT TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN CORRESPON- JOINTING LAYER JOINTING LAYER CENTRAL PART POWER SUBSTRATE MOUNTING SURFACE DENCE LINE (PERIPHERAL PART) (CENTRAL PART) [mm] [W] (TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE ΔT (° C.))

FIGS. 5 and 6 , in the case of heat input power from plasma to thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a of theceramic base 10 is uniform in a plane, the jointing layer arranged between theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 is divided into a central part and an peripheral part, and thefirst jointing material 20B having a low thermal conductivity is arranged in the central part while thesecond jointing material 20A having a higher thermal conductivity than thefirst jointing material 20B is arranged in the peripheral part. This structure can provide temperature distribution having a lower temperature in the peripheral part than that in the central part of thesubstrate mounting surface 10 a. Note that in the case of jointing layers made of a single jointing material not shown in the graph, temperature distribution in the substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base is nearly even. - As a result, it is confirmed that in the case of substrate temperatures being not uniform due to the structure of the
substrate mounting apparatus 2 when it is actually used in a plasma processing apparatus, changing the thermal conductivity of the jointing materials in the jointing layer by location allows provision of uniform temperature distribution of a substrate. Moreover, it is also confirmed that control of the temperature distribution of the substrate is possible by dividing the jointing layer into multiple regions in a plane and arranging jointing materials having different predetermined thermal conductivities in the respective regions. Furthermore, it is confirmed that easy and effective control of temperature distribution in the substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base is possible by controlling sizes and shapes of divided regions of the jointing layer and thermal conductivities of jointing materials. - For example, in the case of the thermal conductivity of the jointing material in the central part of the jointing layer being at least double that of the jointing material in the peripheral part, a temperature difference between the central part and the peripheral part of the substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base is controlled to be about 0° C. to about 5° C. Furthermore, changing setting of a thermal conductivity and in-plane distribution of jointing materials allows flexible temperature control. In the case of the thermal conductivity of the jointing material in the central part of the jointing layer being at least ten times that of the jointing material in the peripheral part, temperature difference between the central part and the peripheral part of the substrate mounting surface of the ceramic base is controlled to be about 0° C. to about 30° C.
- As working examples 1 and 2, a substrate mounting apparatus shown in
FIG. 7 is formed. The substrate mounting apparatus includes theceramic base 10 in which theelectrostatic chuck electrode 40 is buried, thebase plate 30 a having thecoolant flow channel 60, and thejointing layer 20 arranged between theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 a. Cooling water flows as a coolant in thecoolant flow channel 60. Thejointing layer 20 is divided into a central part and a peripheral part in a plane, and jointing materials differing in a thermal conductivity are arranged in the central part and the peripheral part, respectively. - Specifically, the
ceramic base 10 is formed under the following conditions. First, an acrylic resin binder is added to AIN powder obtained through reductive nitriding, and they are granulated through spray granulation to form granules. These granules are formed using a metal mold by applying pressure in a uniaxial direction. When forming a compact, Mo bulk electrode, which is planar mesh electrode, are buried in the compact. The compact is sintered by hot pressing method, thereby providing an integrated sintered body. Note that the pressure applied when hot pressing is 200 Kg/cm2, a sintering temperature is risen at a rate of 10° C./hour up to the maximum sintering temperature of 1900° C., and the maximum sintering temperature is then maintained for one hour. As a result, a disc-shapedceramic base 10 made of AIN having a thickness of 5 mm is formed. The volume resistivity of theceramic base 10 is 1×10 Ω·cm at room temperature. Note that the substrate mounting surface of theceramic base 10 is formed to be flat without forming protrusions. - On the other hand, an alumina plate is processed to have a diameter of approximately 240 mm and a thickness of 30 mm, and the
coolant flow channel 60 is then formed therein by process. In this manner, thebase plate 30 a is formed. - In the substrate mounting apparatus according to working example 1, a circular acrylic sheet having a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/mK and a diameter of 60 mm and a ring-shaped acrylic sheet having a thermal conductivity of 0.6 W/mK, an inner diameter of 60 mm, and an outer diameter of 200 mm are arranged between the
ceramic base 10 made of aluminum nitride andbase plate 30 a, and a pressure of 200 psi (1.38×106 Pa) is then applied from above and below at 100° C. in vacuum, thereby joining theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 a. - In the substrate mounting apparatus according to working example 2, a circular acrylic sheet having a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/mK and a diameter of 140 mm and a ring-shaped sheet having a thermal conductivity of 0.6 W/mK, an inner diameter of 140 mm, and an outer diameter of 200 mm are arranged between the
ceramic base 10 made of aluminum nitride and thebase plate 30 a, and a pressure of 200 psi (1.38×106 Pa) is then applied from above and below at 100° C. in vacuum, thereby joining theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 a. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , the substrate mounting apparatus according to working examples 1 and 2 is arranged in avacuum chamber 100 having alamp heater 120. Moreover, aSi substrate 80 having terminals of athermocouple 90 soldered with Al, is mounted on the substrate mounting surface of theceramic base 10. - The temperature of cooling water flowing through the
coolant flow channel 60 in thebase plate 30 a is 20° C. Heat input from plasma to theSi substrate 80, which is generated when using the substrate mounting apparatus in a plasma processing apparatus, is simulated. Specifically, theSi substrate 80 is heated using thelamp heater 120 after setting a pressure of 1 Pa or less in thevacuum chamber 100. When thelamp heater 120 outputs power of 300W and 700W, temperatures of the center and the end of theSi substrate 80 are measured, respectively. Measurement results are shown in Table 4 andFIG. 8 . Table 4 andFIG. 8 show temperature differences ΔTs between the center and the end of theSi substrate 80 as the temperature distribution in theSi substrate 80. InFIG. 8 , a vertical axis represents a temperature difference ΔTs, and a horizontal axis represents a distance from the center of theSi substrate 80.TABLE 4 JOINTING LAYER JOINTING LAYER (CENTRAL PART) OUTPUT MEASUREMENT SIMULATION (PERIPHERAL PART) MATERIAL/ POWER OF RESULT RESULT MATERIAL/ THERMAL LAMP TEMPERATURE CORRESPON- TEMPERATURE CORRESPON- WORKING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY/ HEATER DIFFERENCE DENCE LINE DIFFERENCE DENCE LINE EXAMPLE CONDUCTIVITY DIAMETER [W] ΔTs (° C.)

lamp heater 120 to theSi substrate 80 is controlled to be almost uniform, the jointing layer made of a single jointing material can provide an even temperature distribution of the substrate. Meanwhile, it is confirmed that in the case of dividing thejointing layer 20 in a plane between theceramic base 10 and thebase plate 30 a into a central part and a peripheral part, and arranging a jointing material having a lower thermal conductivity in the central part while arranging a jointing material having a higher thermal conductivity in the peripheral part, a temperature distribution having a lower temperature in the peripheral part than in the central part of the substrate mounting surface of theceramic base 10 can be provided. - Furthermore, it is also confirmed that the simulation results and actual measurement results are consistent and that the control method of substrate temperature, which is controlling in-plane thermal conductivity distribution in the jointing layer, is extremely effective in actual as the simulation.
