An aluminum oxide sintered body contains aluminum oxide in an amount of not less than 99% by weight and at least one selected from magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and silicon oxide, and contains phosphorus of not more than 0.0025 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the aluminum oxide sintered body. This avoids that phosphorous exerts adverse effect on the sintering properties of an aluminum oxide sintered body, especially the sintering properties of a large aluminum oxide sintered body, causing the sintered body to lack uniformity between the sintered body inner portions and outer portions. Therefore, this aluminum oxide sintered body is suitably used in semiconductor manufacturing apparatus members or liquid crystal manufacturing apparatus members. |

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. |
