Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lessen a leakage and a fluctuation of electric charge, and to limit damage to an electrostatic chuck and stripping of the chuck, by a method wherein a unidirectional conductive coupler layer is made to bond to the electrical contact surface of the member, and the charge is made to have conduction only in roughly one direction from a voltage feeding terminal to the electrical contact surface to give the amount of electricity to the electrode. SOLUTION: An electrostatic chuck 20 is provided with a base 22 having a through hole 24, and this base 22 is proper to support an electrostatic member 25. A voltage feeding terminal 65 is electrically coupled with a contact surface 48 of the member 25 and is bonded to the surface 48 by a unidirectional conductive coupler layer 70 through an electrical connector 50, and a current is made to have conduction only in the single direction from the terminal 65 to an electrode on the member 25. The current results in being made to flow directly to the electrode in one direction intersecting orthogonally the surface of the layer 70 by the layer 70, and the loss of the current, which is made to flow through the conductive base 22 encircling this current, can be reduced to the minimum. As a result, a leakage of the charge, which is made to flow through the electrode, and fluctuation of the charge are lessened and damage to the chuck 20 and stripping of the chuck 20 can be limited. |
