Method for manufacturing susceptor

A method for manufacturing a susceptor, comprising:

• forming a plurality of concave sections in a surface of a substrate to be processed;
• applying a SiC paste containing a SiC powder, a binder and a sintering agent onto the surface of the substrate to be processed to fill the concave sections to form a SiC coating layer;
• laminating a SiC substrate on the SiC coating layer;
• temporary firing the SiC substrate, the SiC coating layer and the substrate to be processed to carbonize the binder in the SiC coating layer;
• removing the substrate to be processed from the SiC coating layer and the SiC substrate by etching after the temporary firing;
• and
• firing the SiC coating layer at a temperature higher than the temperature at the temporary firing to form a SiC layer having convex sections on the surface of the SiC substrate after the removing of the substrate to be processed from the SiC coating layer and the SiC substrate.
