Abstract

An electrostatic chuck of a stack structure includes a metal layer interposed between insulating layers and a groove formed at a peripheral portion of the electrostatic chuck to have a thickness gradually increasing toward an outside, the groove being covered with a thermally sprayed insulating film. The thermally sprayed film covers at least a portion of the metal layer exposed at an inside of the groove such that the thermally sprayed film does not protrude from the groove.
