A heater plate, which has a wafer W mounted thereon and which includes a heater in its interior, is placed on a cooling block including a coolant chamber in its interior. The cooling block includes a gas introduction pipe passing therethrough. The gas introduction pipe is connected to a space between the heater plate and the cooling block to make it possible to supply He gas as thermal conduction gas to the space. A gas suction pipe 34 is connected to the space to make it possible to suck He gas.
