Susceptor
A susceptor includes a ceramic substrate having a wafer-placing surface; a first circular RF electrode buried in the ceramic substrate; and a second circular RF electrode buried in the ceramic substrate at a depth different from the depth of the first RF electrode. The second RF electrode has a larger diameter than the first RF electrode. The second RF electrode has a plurality of holes with an opening area of 9.42 to 25.13 mm 2 distributed in a portion overlapping the first RF electrode in a plan view of the ceramic substrate. The electrode width between the holes is 3 to 7 mm.
1. A susceptor comprising:
a ceramic disk-shaped plate having a wafer-placing surface;
a first circular RF electrode buried in the ceramic disk-shaped plate; and
a second circular RF electrode buried in the ceramic disk-shaped plate at a depth different from the depth of the first RF electrode, wherein, in a plan view of the ceramic disk-shaped plate, the second RF electrode has a larger diameter than the first RF electrode, and
wherein the second RF electrode has an outer periphery and a circular central portion spaced radially inward from the outer periphery so as to overlap the first RF electrode, the circular central portion having a plurality of holes with a total opening area of 9.42 to 25.13 mm 2 distributed within the circular central portion in the plan view of the ceramic disk-shaped plate, with an electrode width between each of the plurality of holes being 3 to 7 mm.
2. The susceptor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes all have a same opening shape and are regularly arranged.
3. The susceptor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes have one of a triangular and a hexagonal opening shape.
4. The susceptor according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the first RF electrode in the plan view of the ceramic disk-shaped plate is within ±10 mm with respect to the diameter of the circular central portion of the second RF electrode in which the plurality of holes are formed.
5. The susceptor according to claim 4 , wherein the diameter of the first RF electrode in the plan view of the ceramic disk-shaped plate is equal to the diameter of the circular central portion.
