The invention provides a fluid heater in which the efficiency of heat transfer to a fluid is improved, downsizing of the heater itself can be achieved, and the rise time until warm water heated to a necessary temperature is supplied is shortened, which results in reduction of the power consumption. The heater includes a flat ceramic substrate (1) and a heating element formed on one surface of or in the interior of the ceramic substrate (1). The ceramic substrate (1) is made of A1N, etc. or silicon nitride, whose thermal conductivity is 50W/m·K or more. A zigzag water channel is formed by walls 6, etc., on the fluid-heating surface of the ceramic substrate (1). A plurality of fins 5 are fixed in the water channel. A heat insulating material 8 can be mounted so as to cover a surface excluding the fluid-heating surface of the ceramic substrate (1).

摘要:
A chuck top allowing reliable recognition of a wafer mounted on a wafer-mounting surface or on a chuck top conductive layer by a camera such as a CCD and hence allowing wafer inspection without problem is provided. The chuck top is used for a wafer prober mounting a wafer on the wafer-mounting surface for inspection, in which reflectance of a portion other than the portion for mounting the wafer of the wafer-mounting surface or the chuck top conductive layer is smaller than the reflectance of a peripheral end portion of the wafer to be inspected. The portion other than the portion for mounting the wafer of the wafer-mounting surface or the chuck top conductive layer of chuck top preferably has surface roughness Ra of at least 0.0001 μm and at most 0.05 μm.

The invention provides a wafer-prober wafer holder that allows positional precision and temperature uniformity to be increased, and also allows the chip to be heated and cooled rapidly, and a wafer prober device provided with the same. The wafer-prober wafer holder of the invention is constituted by a chuck top having a chuck top conducting layer on its surface, and a support member for supporting the chuck top, and has a cavity in a portion between the chuck top and the support member. The chuck top preferably is provided with a heating member.
摘要:
According to the present invention, a wafer holder is supported by support pieces mounted on a pedestal and is installed within the processing chamber of a semiconductor manufacturing device, wherein the lift pins are set up anchored to the semiconductor-manufacturing-device chamber and the pedestal is driven vertically, thereby running the wafer holder up/down to thrust the lift pins out from, or retract them into, the top side of the wafer holder, which makes it possible to dechuck wafers from and pocket them into the holder. Consequently, leveling the height of the tip ends of the plurality of lift pins is facilitated and synchronization problems are completely eliminated besides, which thus makes it possible to prevent wafer drop-off during wafer dechucking/pocketing. And since a mechanism for synchronously driving the plural lift pins up/down is unnecessary, the device overall can be made more compact.
