Abstract

The present invention relates to: a jig for semiconductor production which is used for a CVD device in a semiconductor production process and contains a jig base and an SiC coating film formed on the jig base, in which the SiC coating film has a surface area ratio (surface area S 2 /surface area S 1 ) between an apparent surface area S 1 as calculated on the assumption that the surface is flat and free from unevenness and an actual surface area S 2 , of from 1.4 to 3.2; and a method for producing the jig for semiconductor production.
