Ceramic chuck

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a ceramic chuck for mounting a wafer so that the number of particles adhered onto the wafer after chucking can be reduced while maintaining a desired Young's Modulus of the chuck. A ceramic chuck 1 has a surface layer 2 contacting a wafer "W" and a substrate portion 6. The surface layer 2 and substrate portion 6 are produced by co-sintering and the surface layer 2 has a porosity of 1% or higher and 10% or lower and larger than that of the substrate portion 6.
