WAFER HOLDER FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING DEVICE AND SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING DEVICE IN WHICH IT IS INSTALLED

摘要

Wafer holder and semiconductor manufacturing equipment in which the holder is installed, the wafer holder having a wafer-carrying surface, wherein incidence of warping and cracking when the wafer holder is heated is slight. In the wafer holder having a wafer-carrying surface, electrical circuitry consisting of one or more sinter laminae is formed on the face or in the interior of the wafer holder; and by rendering pores present in the circuitry, the incidence of warping and cracking can be made very slight. The electrical circuitry is preferably any of an electrode circuit for an electrostatic chuck, a resistive-heating-element circuit, an RF-power electrode circuit, and a high-voltage-generating electrode circuit.
