Abstract
A substrate-holding apparatus for holding a semiconductor substrate in a semiconductor processor is characterized in that the apparatus includes a mount block made of, e.g., aluminum nitrate with a high-frequency electrode embedded therein and a heating block made of, e.g., an aluminum alloy with a heating body embedded therein. The mount block is tightly attached to the heating block by engaging the bottom surface of the mount block with the top surface of the heating block, for example, by using a latching mechanism.
