Abstract

There are provided a static electricity chuck which can vary the temperature of a wafer in a short time without adversely effecting throughput, and a wafer stage having the static electricity chuck. The static electricity chuck includes a dielectric member 4 formed of insulating material, an electrode 5 of conductor which is disposed at the lower side of the dielectric member 4, and a heater 6 which is disposed at the lower side of the electrode 5 and heats the dielectric member 4. The wafer stage 1 includes the static electricity chuck which is provided on a metal jacket having cooling apparatus.
