Abstract

A gas shower unit has a function of preliminary heating reactant gas to be passed therethrough, and is thus capable of causing uniform reaction within a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus and preventing through hole clogging and particle generation. The gas shower unit has a base material of 5 mm or less in thickness and includes a sintered aluminum nitride base material having a plurality of through holes and a heater circuit pattern or a plasma upper electrode as a conductive layer formed in the sintered aluminum nitride base material.
