Abstract

A wafer mounting table 10, which is one example of a member for a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, comprises: a ceramic plate 20 that has, on the upper surface thereof, at least one of a wafer mounting surface 21 and a focus ring mounting surface 26; a plug placement hole 24 that penetrates the ceramic plate 20 in the vertical direction and has a tapered inner peripheral surface 24a tapering toward the lower side thereof; and a plug 50 that is fitted into the plug placement hole 24, has a tapered outer peripheral surface 50a tapering toward the lower side thereof, and allows gas to flow in the vertical direction. The outer peripheral surface 50a of the plug 50 has a steeper slope than the inner peripheral surface 24a of the plug placement hole 24.
