ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic chuck for electrostatically holding a wafer is provided in a vacuum chamber formed in a magnetron plasma etching apparatus. The electrostatic chuck has a base member, a first insulating layer provided on the base member and made of polyimide, a second insulation layer made of AlN, a conductive sheet provided between first and second insulation layers, and an adhesive layer made of a thermosetting resin and adhering the first insulating layer to the second insulating layer. The wafer is placed on the second insulating layer, and power is supplied from a high voltage power supply to the conductive sheet via a feeding sheet, thereby creating static electricity and hence a coulombic force for holding the wafer on the second insulating layer.
