Abstract

An apparatus of fabricating a semiconductor device may include a chamber including a housing and a slit valve used to open or close a portion of the housing, a heater chuck provided in a lower region of the housing and used to heat a substrate, a target provided over the heater chuck, a plasma electrode provided in an upper region of the housing and used to generate plasma on the target, a heat-dissipation shield surrounding the inner wall of the housing between the plasma electrode and the heater chuck, and an edge heating structure provided between the heat-dissipation shield and the inner wall of the housing and configured to heat the heat-dissipation shield and an edge region of the substrate and to reduce a difference in temperature between center and edge regions of the substrate.
