However, even in an exposure apparatus, such as a stage supporting a semiconductor wafer such as Si and an electrostatic chuck, a supporting member on which a member to be exposed is moved at a high speed to a position where exposure processing is performed. According to the method described above, the supporting member itself after the movement vibrates even after stopping at a predetermined position, which causes a shift in exposure due to the vibration when performing the exposure processing, thereby lowering the exposure accuracy. This problem has been fatal to ultra-precise semiconductor devices, since the accuracy decreases as the line width of the circuit decreases.

A support member for supporting a semiconductor wafer in the semiconductor exposure apparatus of the present invention, in particular, the electrostatic chuck 4, the stage 5, or various structures in the drive system for moving the stage 5 at high speed in the semiconductor exposure apparatus as described above.

If the temperature is higher than −6 / ° C., deformation of 100 nm or more occurs even when the temperature of the atmosphere changes by 1 ° C.
Due to the positional deviation of the wafer, a deviation occurs in the high-precision exposure processing, and the exposure accuracy is reduced. The temperature range of the coefficient of thermal expansion is 20 to 25 when the exposure treatment is performed at room temperature.
What is necessary is just to have said coefficient of thermal expansion in the temperature range of ° C.

According to the present invention, it is important that the ceramic has a Young's modulus of 130 GPa or more in addition to the above-mentioned coefficient of thermal expansion. This is the Young's modulus 130G

This is because In consideration of exposure accuracy, it is desirable that the Young's modulus be higher, and from this viewpoint, it is desirable that the Young's modulus be 150 GPa or more.
