    摘要: An inexpensive workpiece holder having high reliability and a processing apparatus equipped with the workpiece holder are provided, in which damage caused by oxygen in the air is prevented. The holder comprises: a ceramic body which has an electrode and a heater circuit and which can holds a workpiece; a tubular member having an end portion connected to the ceramic body; a sealing member which is disposed inside the tubular member and which isolates a space inside the tubular member into two regions: a region on the first end portion (“sealed portion”) and a region on the opposite side (“opposite region”); and power supply conductive members which extend from the opposite region side, penetrating the sealing member to the sealed region side, and which are electrically connected to the electrode and the heater circuit.

    摘要: Ceramic susceptor whose wafer-retaining face has superior isothermal properties, and that is suited to utilization in apparatuses for manufacturing semiconductors and in liquid-crystal manufacturing apparatuses. In plate-shaped sintered ceramic body 1, resistive heating element 2 is formed. Fluctuation in pullback length L between sintered ceramic body outer-peripheral edge 1a and resistive heating element substantive-domain outer-peripheral edge 2a is within ±0.8%, while isothermal rating of the entire surface of the wafer-retaining face is ±1.0% or less. Preferable is a superior isothermal rating of ±0.5% or less that can be achieved by bringing the fluctuation in pullback length L to within ±0.5%.

    摘要: In a heating-type toner-fixing unit using a ceramic heater and a cylindrical fixing film, the shape of the fixing face-side surface of a ceramic heater 10 which comes into contact with a fixing film 3 and the shape of the portions of a heater support 12 at least adjacent to the fixing face-side surface are formed into a shape that is almost identical to a naturally deformed shape of the fixing film 3 in a static state or a traveling state where the fixing film is pressed by a pressure roller 4 at a designated nip width. It is also possible that the nip portion and portions adjacent thereto at the entrance side and exit side are formed into a flat shape and portions other than the flat portions are formed into a curved surface shape along the cylindrical shape of the fixing film 3.

    摘要: A ceramic heater that is used in a toner-fixing system comprising a ceramic heater and a heat-resistant film, that reduces the degree of deformation of the heat-resistant film, that lightens the load applied to the film at the time of revolution, that prevents the fracture of the film, and that enables fixing at a high rate exceeding 24 ppm. A ceramic base material 11 of the ceramic heater attached to a heating cylinder comprises aluminum nitride or silicon nitride. A heating element 12 and current-feeding electrodes are made of heat-resistant metal such as tungsten and molybdenum or heat resistant alloy and are formed on the ceramic base material. In the ceramic heater, at least one part of the face (the fixing face) that contacts the heat-resistant film is curved when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of a copying sheet.

    摘要: An apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor or liquid crystal has, within a reaction chamber 1 to which a reactive gas is supplied, a ceramic holder 2 having a resistive heating element 7 embedded therein; and further comprises a ceramic cylindrical support member 3 one end of which supports the ceramic holder 2 and the other end of which is fixed to a portion of the reaction chamber 1, and an inert gas supply tube 4 and inert gas evacuation tube 5 each having an opening inside the cylindrical support member 3. It is preferable that the inert gas within the cylindrical support member 3 be maintained at less than 0.1 MPa (one atmosphere). By means of such an arrangement, oxidation and corrosion of electrodes provided on the rear surface of the ceramic holder can be prevented, without an oxidation-resistant seal or corrosion-resistant seal being applied. The semiconductor or liquid crystal manufacturing apparatus also ensures the thermal uniformity in the ceramic holder and eliminates useless power consumption. Moreover, the apparatus size can be reduced, and manufacturing costs can be decreased.

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a wafer prober wafer holder that is highly rigid and increases the heat insulating effect, thereby improving positional accuracy, thermal uniformity, and chip temperature ramp-up and cooling rates, as well as a wafer prober device equipped therewith.A wafer holder of the present invention includes a chuck top that mounts a wafer, and a support member that supports the chuck top, wherein, a restricting member is provided that covers an interface between the chuck top and the support member. By covering the gap between the chuck top and the support member with the restricting member, the heat insulating effect can be increased by preventing the flow of outside air through the gap into the support member, and the cooling rate can be particularly improved if cooling to a temperature below room temperature.

    摘要: Affords a holder for use in semiconductor or liquid-crystal manufacturing devices—as well as semiconductor or liquid-crystal manufacturing devices in which the holder is installed—in which temperature uniformity in the processed-object retaining face is heightened. Configuring the holder with, furnished atop a ceramic susceptor, a composite of a ceramic and a metal improves the temperature uniformity in the holder's processed-object retaining face and makes for curtailing the generation of particulates and other contaminants. In addition, putting a coating on at least the retaining face improves the durability of the holder. Installing a holder of this sort in a semiconductor manufacturing device or a liquid-crystal manufacturing device contributes to making available semiconductor or liquid-crystal manufacturing devices whose productivity and throughput are excellent.
