ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electrostatic chuck device with a strong chucking force for use in an ion injection apparatus, an etching apparatus, a sputtering apparatus, an CVD apparatus, etc., which require electrostatic chucking. The chuck device is capable of easily loading/unloading an object to be chucked and providing sure grounding for a semiconductor wafer. To this purpose, three-phase AC voltages of 1 Hz or less with different phases are applied, and contact pins with pointed tips are provided.
