Abstract

There is provided an electrostatic chuck for placing an adsorption object or a base body having an electrostatic electrode embedded therein and generating a coulombic force between the adsorption object and the electrostatic electrode by applying a voltage to the electrostatic electrode so as to hold the adsorption object in an adsorption state, wherein the base body includes a upper surface of the base body opposed to the adsorption object and a protrusion portion provided in the upper surface of the base body so as to come into contact with the adsorption object, and wherein the protrusion portion is provided in a region except for an outer edge portion of the upper surface of the base body, and the outer edge portion is substantially formed in the same plane as that of the upper surface of the base body.
