Abstract

An electrified object contact material characterized in that an oxide film formed in a high purity oxidizing atmosphere with a thickness from several tens to 100 .ANG. is formed at least in a section directly contacting an electrified object. By using the contact component according to the present invention, the electric potential of a wafer can always be suppressed to 50 V or less, and moreover, contamination of a wafer (especially by a metallic material) can completely be eliminated.
