ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electrostatic chucking method, comprising the steps of: (a) placing a substrate to be chucked electrostatically on a chucking material containing an electrode; (b) chucking the substrate to the chucking material by supplying a predetermined electrical potential to the electrode in the chucking material; (c) removing the substrate from the chucking material; and (d) eliminating residual charges on the chucking material by sputtering it with a plasma gas for a predetermined period. Further, the plasma gas may be capable of etching the chucking material.
