ABSTRACT:
A focus ring is shaped by cutting off a silicon carbide body formed by a sintering method or a CVD method. The shaped focus ring is exposed to a plasma generated from at least one of a carbon tetra fluoride gas and an oxygen gas for producing impurities, and the impurities are introduced to void-like defects existing in the vicinity of a surface of the focus ring. Subsequently, positrons are injected in the vicinity of the surface of the focus ring into which the impurities are introduced, and the defect density in the vicinity of the surface of the focus ring is detected by the positron annihilation method.
