Abstract

An electrostatic chuck with a heater including: a base which is composed of a sintered body containing alumina, an electrode disposed in an upper part of the base, and a resistance heating element embedded in a lower part of the base. The base includes a dielectric layer between the electrode and an upper surface of the base and a supporting member between the electrode and a lower surface of the base. The dielectric layer has a carbon content of not more than 100 ppm, and the supporting member has a carbon content of 0.03 to 0.25 wt %. Moreover, the resistance heating element is formed into a coil and mainly composed of niobium.
