Abstract
A wafer placement table includes a ceramic base, a cooling base, and a bonding layer. The ceramic base includes an outer peripheral part having an annular focus ring placement surface on an outer peripheral side of a central part having a circular wafer placement surface. The cooling base contains metal. The bonding layer bonds the ceramic base with the cooling base. The outer peripheral part of the ceramic base has a thickness of less than or equal to 1 mm and does not incorporate an electrode.
Claims8
A wafer placement table comprising:
- a ceramic base that includes an outer peripheral part having an annular focus ring placement surface on an outer peripheral side of a central part having a circular wafer placement surface;
- a cooling base containing metal;
- and
- a bonding layer that bonds the ceramic base with the cooling base, wherein
- the outer peripheral part of the ceramic base has a thickness of less than or equal to 0.7 mm and does not incorporate an electrode;
- and
- wherein the bonding layer is a metal bonding layer;
- wherein parts exposed on a side surface of an outer peripheral part of the ceramic base, a periphery of the metal bonding layer, a side surface of the cooling base, and a top surface of the cooling base are coated with an electrically insulating film;
- and
- wherein a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the ceramic base and the cooling base is lower than or equal to 1×10−6/K.
