Abstract

A placing table, on which a substrate is placed, includes a base. The base includes a first path configured to allow a heat transfer medium having a first temperature to flow therein; a first heat insulating layer disposed under the first path; and a seal member disposed under the first heat insulating layer.

Claims (38)

1. A placing table, comprising:

a insulating support;

a base integrally formed and disposed on the insulating support;

a first path disposed within the base and configured to allow a heat transfer medium having a first temperature to flow therein;

a second path disposed within the base and configured to allow a heat transfer medium having a second temperature to flow therein and not communicating with the first path,

wherein the base comprises therein a first hollow space surrounding a side portion of the first path and formed between the first path and the second path, and a second hollow space surrounding a side portion of the second path and formed at a lower portion of the second path.

2. The placing table of claim 1 , further comprising:

a gas supply line connected to a bottom surface of the base;

a first O-ring disposed between the bottom surface of the base and a top surface of the insulating support; and

a second O-ring disposed between the bottom surface of the base and a joint portion of the gas supply line.

3. The placing table of claim 2 ,

wherein the first path has a fin structure or a lattice structure.

4. The placing table of claim 3 ,

wherein the second path has a fin structure or a lattice structure.

5. The placing table of claim 4 ,

the first hollow space is controlled to have a pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure.

6. The placing table of claim 5 ,

the second hollow space is controlled to have a pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure.

7. The placing table of claim 1 ,

wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.

8. The placing table of claim 6 ,

wherein the base is formed by a 3D printer technology or an additive manufacturing technology.

9. A substrate processing apparatus comprising:

a processing vessel;

a insulating support within the processing vessel;

a base integrally formed and disposed on the insulating support;

a first path disposed within the base and configured to allow a heat transfer medium having a first temperature to flow therein;

a second path disposed within the base and configured to allow a heat transfer medium having a second temperature to flow therein and not communicating with the first path;

a gas supply line connected to a bottom surface of the base;

a first O-ring disposed between the bottom surface of the base and a top surface of the insulating support; and

a second O-ring disposed between the bottom surface of the base and a joint portion of the gas supply line,

wherein the base comprises therein a first hollow space surrounding a side portion of the first path and formed between the first path and the second path, and a second hollow space surrounding a side portion of the second path and formed at a lower portion of the second path.

10. The placing table of claim 1 ,

wherein the first temperature is equal to or lower than −100° C., and

wherein the second temperature is equal to or larger than 0° C.

11. The substrate processing apparatus of claim 9 ,

wherein the first temperature is equal to or lower than −100° C., and

wherein the second temperature is equal to or larger than 0° C.
