Abstract

The present disclosure provides an electrostatic chuck, in which a heat transfer layer using a heat transfer fluid is disposed between a chuck main body disposed at an upper side of the electrostatic chuck and a chuck base disposed at a lower side of the electrostatic chuck, and the chuck main body is simply placed on the chuck base so as to be physically in contact with the heat transfer layer, such that heat may be stably transferred without damage even in a condition in which the heat transfer layer is at a high temperature, and the chuck main body may be easily separated from the chuck base for maintenance.
