Abstract

Disclosed is an electrostatic chuck device for increasing electrostatic adsorptive force for a focus ring and uniformly cooling the focus ring. In such a device, a mounting table has a holder in the periphery of a placing surface along the circumferential direction of a focus ring, the holder has a pair of banks in the circumferential direction, and an annular groove formed between these banks, and in at least a bank on an outer circumferential position of the focus ring among the pair of the banks, a micro-protruding part including a plurality of micro-protrusions is on a surface facing the focus ring, or convex parts are on a bottom of the groove. The convex parts do not contact the focus ring, and the pair of banks or plurality of micro-protrusions contacts the focus ring and electrostatically adsorbs the focus ring in coordination with the convex parts.
