Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor heat treatment member for holding a semiconductor wafer, including a base member a surface of which is covered with an oxide film, the base member including a silicon carbide, in which a surface of a wafer holding portion to be in contact with a semiconductor wafer has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of smaller than or equal to 0.3 μm and an element average length RSm of shorter than or equal to 40 μm.

Claims (8)

1. A semiconductor heat treatment member for holding a semiconductor wafer, comprising a base member a surface of which is covered with an oxide film, the base member comprising silicon carbide, wherein a surface of a wafer holding portion to be in contact with a semiconductor wafer has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of smaller than or equal to 0.3 μm and an element average length RSm of shorter than or equal to 40 μm.

2. The semiconductor heat treatment member according to claim 1 , wherein a difference ΔRa between a maximum value and a minimum value of values of the arithmetic average roughness Ra of the surface of the wafer holding portion is smaller than or equal to 0.15 μm.

3. The semiconductor heat treatment member according to claim 1 , wherein the wafer holding portion has a thickness of smaller than or equal to 1 mm.

4. The semiconductor heat treatment member according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide film formed on the surface of the wafer holding portion has a thickness of larger than or equal to 0.3 μm and smaller than or equal to 3 μm.

5. A manufacturing method of the semiconductor heat treatment member according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

obtaining a ring-shaped base member comprising the silicon carbide;

processing a surface of the base member using a diamond whetstone so that the arithmetic average roughness Ra becomes smaller than or equal to 0.3 μm and the element average length RSm becomes shorter than or equal to 40 μm; and

forming the oxide film on the surface of the base member at a thickness of larger than or equal to 0.3 μm and smaller than or equal to 3 μm by heating the base member in an oxidizing atmosphere.
