A stage comprising:
- a plate-shaped member having a mounting surface on which a workpiece is mounted, a rear surface facing the mounting surface, and a through hole penetrating through the mounting surface and the rear surface;
- and
- an embedded member disposed inside the through hole,
- wherein at least one of a concave portion and a convex portion is provided on a surface of the embedded member,
- wherein the at least one of the concave portion and the convex portion on the surface of the embedded member includes a plurality of protrusions and a spiral protrusion, and
- wherein the embedded member includes one of the plurality of protrusions and the spiral protrusion in a tip end portion of the embedded member, and includes the other of the plurality of protrusions and the spiral protrusion in a base end portion of the embedded member.
A substrate processing apparatus comprising:
- a processing container configured to process a workpiece therein;
- and
- a stage disposed in the processing container and configured to mount the workpiece,
- wherein the stage includes:
- a plate-shaped member having a mounting surface on which the workpiece is mounted, a rear surface facing the mounting surface, and a through hole penetrating through the mounting surface and the rear surface;
- and
- an embedded member disposed inside the through hole, and
- at least one of a concave portion and a convex portion is provided on a surface of the embedded member,
- wherein the at least one of the concave portion and the convex portion on the surface of the embedded member includes a plurality of protrusions and a spiral protrusion, and
- wherein the embedded member includes one of the plurality of protrusions and the spiral protrusion in a tip end portion of the embedded member, and includes the other of the plurality of protrusions and the spiral protrusion in a base end portion of the embedded member.
