ABSTRACT:
A substrate holding system is provided for holding a substrate in a substrate etching apparatus by using electrostatic force. An electrical insulating member is also provided having a top surface approximately at the same level as the treated surface of the substrate and having an inner side surface in adjacent relationship with a surface of the substrate forming the periphery of the substrate. The inner side surface of the electrical insulating member faces the periphery of the substrate in substantially parallel relationship with a direction normal to the treated surface of the substrate. A dielectric film is formed on one surface of a metallic member having a flow passage for circulating a coolant to control the temperature of the substrate. An electrically insulating material member is placed on and in contact with a surface of the metallic member. An electrically conductive material member grounded to a standard electric potential is placed on and in contact with a surface of the electrically insulating material member. Three kinds of members are overlaid and fixed to each other in order of the metallic member having the dielectric film, the electrically insulating material member and the standard electric potential member. A coolant hole penetrates from the standard electric potential member side to the coolant flow passage of the metallic member being formed, at least three through holes penetrating the three kinds of members being formed and movable members linked to a substrate transporting mechanism being inserted in the through holes.
