Method of making a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus member
A method of making a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus member includes a step of preparing an aluminum base having an alumite layer having a porous columnar structure at an upper surface thereof. The alumite layer is an anodic oxidation film, and a Young's modulus of the alumite layer is between 90 GPa and 120 GPa. The method also includes a step of forming a particle-resistant layer on the alumite layer by aerosol deposition, in which an aerosol containing fine particles of a brittle material dispersed in a gas is ejected from a nozzle to impact against a surface of the alumite layer, wherein the particle-resistant layer includes a polycrystalline ceramic; and wherein, when the resulting semiconductor manufacturing apparatus member is exposed to a plasma in a reference plasma resistance test, the particle-resistant layer has an arithmetic average height Sa of 0.060 or less after the reference plasma test is completed.
