Abstract

A wafer holder for a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus that has a high heat conductivity and includes a conductive layer such as heater circuit pattern which can be formed with a high precision pattern, a method of manufacturing the wafer holder, and a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus having therein the wafer holder are provided. On a surface of a sintered aluminum nitride piece, paste containing metal particles is applied and fired to form a heater circuit pattern as a conductive layer. Between the surface of the sintered aluminum nitride piece having the heater circuit pattern formed thereon and another sintered aluminum nitride piece, a glass layer is provided as a joint layer to be heated for joining the sintered aluminum nitride pieces together.
