Abstract

See full text

An electrostatic chuck includes a metal substrate. A conductive ceramic layer is disposed above the metal substrate. A high purity barrier layer is disposed above the conductive ceramic layer. The high purity barrier layer preferably has a thickness of not more than about 200 .mu.m and a purity of at least about 99%. Exemplary materials from which the high purity insulation layer may be formed include alumina, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and sapphire. A method for manufacturing an electrostatic chuck includes providing a metal substrate, forming a ceramic layer over the metal substrate, and forming a high purity barrier layer over the ceramic layer. The high purity barrier layer may be formed by plasma spray coating, chemical vapor deposition, or sputtering.
