Electrostatic chuck and substrate fixing device

Abstract

An electrostatic chuck includes at least one conductor layer; an electrostatic electrode; and a base body in which the electrostatic electrode is embedded, the base body having a first dielectric layer on which the electrostatic electrode is mounted, the base body having a second dielectric layer stacked on the first dielectric layer with covering the electrostatic electrode. The conductor layer is formed on a surface of the first dielectric layer opposite to a surface on which the electrostatic electrode is mounted. The second dielectric layer has a first surface facing the first dielectric layer and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the second surface is a placement surface on which a suction target is placed. A relative permittivity of the first dielectric layer is lower than a relative permittivity of the second dielectric layer.
