Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stacked structure includes a first structure formed of a composite sintered body that contains AlN and MgAl 2 O 4 as main phases, and a second structure formed of a ceramic sintered body and stacked on and bonded to the first structure. A difference in linear thermal expansion coefficient between the first structure and the second structure is less than or equal to 0.3 ppm/K.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A stacked structure, comprising: a first structure formed of a composite sintered body that contains AlN and MgAl 2 O 4 as main phases containing 15% or more and 70% or less by mass of MgAl 2 O 4 and 30% or more and 85% or less by mass of AlN, wherein the main phases comprise from greater than or equal to 95 wt. % to less than or equal to 100 wt. % of the composite sintered body, and a second structure formed of a ceramic sintered body and stacked on and bonded to said first structure, wherein the ceramic sintered body comprises a) 95 mass % or more of AlN and aluminum yttrium oxide (Al 5 Y 3 O 12 ) as constituent phases and contains from 50 mass % to 80 mass % of Al 5 Y 3 O 12 and from 20 mass % to 50 mass % of AlN, b) 70 mass % or more and 90 mass % or less of AlON as a constituent phase, or c) 95 mass % or more of AlON and SiAlON as constituent phases and contains from 80 mass % to 95 mass % of AlON and from 5 mass % to 20 mass % of SiAlON, wherein a difference in linear thermal expansion coefficient between said first structure and said second structure is less than or equal to 0.3 ppm/K. 2. The stacked structure according to claim 1 , wherein said composite sintered body of said first structure contains 25% or more and 60% or less by mass of MgAl 2 O 4 and 45% or more and 75% or less by mass of AlN. 3. The stacked structure according to claim 1 , wherein said composite sintered body of said first structure has volume resistivity higher than or equal to 7.0×10 7 Ω·cm at 700° C. 4. The stacked structure according to claim 1 , wherein said composite sintered body of said first structure has thermal conductivity higher than or equal to 15 W/(m·K) at ambient temperature. 5. The stacked structure according to claim 1 , wherein thermal conductivity of said ceramic sintered body of said second structure at ambient temperature is lower by 10 W/(m·K) or more than thermal conductivity of said composite sintered body of said first structure at ambient temperature. 6. A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus member used in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, comprising: the stacked structure according to claim 1 . 7. The semiconductor manufacturing apparatus member according to claim 6 , comprising: a substrate heating part that includes said first structure of said stacked structure and supports and heats a substrate; and a supporter that includes said second structure of said stacked structure and is bonded to said substrate heating part to support said substrate heating part.
