Electrostatic chucks (1A to 1F) are provided with: susceptors (11A to 11F) having an attracting surface (11a) that attracts and holds semiconductors; and electrostatic chuck electrodes (4) that are embedded in the susceptors. The susceptors are provided with plate-shape bodies (3) and surface corrosion-resistant layers (2) that face the attracting surface. The surface corrosion-resistant layer (2) is made from a ceramic material having magnesium, aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen as main components, the ceramic material having, as a main phase, an MgO-AlN solid solution crystal phase obtained by dissolving aluminum nitride in magnesium oxide. |
