    摘要: A wafer placement table includes: an electrostatic chuck that is a ceramic sintered body in which an electrode for electrostatic adsorption is embedded; a cooling member which is bonded to a surface on an opposite side of a wafer placement surface of the electrostatic chuck, and cools the electrostatic chuck; a hole for power supply terminal, the hole penetrating the cooling member in a thickness direction; and a power supply terminal which is bonded to the electrode for electrostatic adsorption from the surface on the opposite side of the wafer placement surface of the electrostatic chuck, and is inserted in the hole for power supply terminal. The outer peripheral surface of a portion of the power supply terminal is covered with an insulating thin film that is formed by coating of an insulating material, the portion being inserted in the hole for power supply terminal.

    摘要: The ceramic heater of the present invention includes: an alumina substrate having a wafer placement surface; resistance heating elements disposed in respective zones; multistage jumpers that supply electric power to the resistance heating elements, the resistance heating elements and the jumpers being embedded in the alumina substrate in this order from a wafer placement surface side; heating element connecting vias that vertically connect the resistance heating elements to the jumpers; and power supply vias exposed to the outside in order to supply electric power to the jumpers. The specific resistance of the heating element connecting vias is smaller than that of the resistance heating elements, and the absolute value of the difference between CTE of the heating element connecting vias and CTE of the alumina substrate is smaller than the absolute value of the difference between CTE of the resistance heating elements and CTE of the alumina substrate.
