Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrostatic chuck heater having a bipolar structure, the electrostatic chuck heater comprising: a heater body having an internal electrode and an external electrode for selectively performing any one of an RF grounding function and an electrostatic chuck function according to a semiconductor process mode; and a heater support mounted below the heater body so as to support the heater body.
Claims4
A method of manufacturing an electrostatic chuck heater, the method comprising:
- filling first ceramic powder into a forming mold to form a first ceramic powder layer;
- stacking a ceramic molding body on the first ceramic powder layer, the ceramic molding body including an internal electrode, external electrodes spaced apart from the internal electrode by a predetermined distance, and an external electrode connecting member that is in contact with the external electrodes, the external electrodes including first external electrodes and a second external electrode;
- filling second ceramic powder on the ceramic molding body to form a second ceramic powder layer;
- and
- sintering a ceramic powder layer structure including the ceramic molding body at a predetermined pressure and temperature to form a heater body,
- wherein a manufacturing method of the ceramic molding body includes:
- forming grooves having a predetermined shape in an upper portion of the ceramic powder layer;
- inserting the first external electrodes into the grooves formed in the upper portion of the ceramic powder layer, and filling ceramic powder on the first external electrodes;
- compacting and sintering the ceramic powder layer in which the first external electrodes are embedded to form a ceramic plate;
- processing opposite surfaces of the ceramic plate such that the first external electrodes are exposed to an exterior;
- forming a plurality of grooves in an upper surface of the ceramic plate;
- and
- inserting the internal electrode and the second external electrode into the plurality of grooves.
