Abstract

A substrate holder includes a holding unit which holds a substrate, a temperature measurement unit which is provided at a surface on a substrate side of the holding unit and is brought into contact with the substrate to measure a temperature of the substrate and a signal output unit which outputs temperature measurement signals from the temperature measurement unit. A vacuum film deposition apparatus has at least one vacuum film deposition unit including the substrate holder a vacuum chamber, a holder support portion provided within the vacuum chamber, connected to a connection portion of the substrate holder and supporting the substrate holder, a film deposition device forming a film by vacuum film deposition on the substrate held in the substrate holder and a signal receiving unit connected to the signal output unit and receiving the temperature measurement signals.

Claims

1. A substrate holder comprising:

a holding unit which holds a substrate;

a temperature measurement unit which is provided at a surface on a substrate side of said holding unit and is brought into contact with said substrate to measure a temperature of said substrate; and

a signal output unit which outputs temperature measurement signals from said temperature measurement unit.

2. The substrate holder according to claim 1, wherein said temperature measurement unit has measurement terminals for measuring the temperature of said substrate and measures the temperature at a plurality of positions of said substrate.

3. The substrate holder according to claim 1, wherein said signal output unit outputs by radio the temperature measurement signals.

4. The substrate holder according to claim 1, further comprising a thermally conductive member which is provided on the surface on the substrate side of said holding unit and said temperature measurement unit is in contact with said substrate via the thermally conductive member.

5. A vacuum film deposition apparatus comprising at least one vacuum film deposition unit, said at least one vacuum film deposition unit comprising:

a substrate holder including;
