Ceramic heaters

Overview

Ceramic heaters

These heaters are designed to support and heat silicon wafers. They are made of aluminum nitride (AlN), which has outstanding thermal conductivity. They are co-sintered with resistance heating elements to provide excellent thermal uniformity, and reduce metal contamination.

Advantages

Excellent thermal uniformity and wide operating temperature range

These heaters are made of high thermal conductivity material (AlN) and provide excellent thermal uniformity over a wide temperature range (up to 800 deg.C)

Compact

The resistive heating elements and bulk RF electrodes are co-sintered in AlN ceramics, and the ceramic shaft is directly bonded to the heater plate.

High corrosion resistance

These heaters have superior corrosion resistance against halogen gas and oxidizing environments.

Wafer chucking function

RF electrodes are co-sintered in the ceramic plate. These electrodes can be used as electrostatic chuck electrodes for wafer chucking.


Wafer thermal uniformity (φ300 heater) E.g., ~600 deg.C<±0.1%
