Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an electrostatic chuck configured to attract a substrate by applying a voltage to a first electrode layer. The method includes forming the first electrode layer on a first resin layer on a base and thermally spraying ceramics or a ceramics-containing material on the first electrode layer. The thermally spraying the ceramic or the ceramics-containing material includes transporting powder of a thermal spray material, introduced into a nozzle from a feeder, by a plasma generation gas and spraying the powder from an opening in a tip end portion of the nozzle, dissociating the sprayed plasma generation gas by electric power of 500 W to 10 kW to generate plasma having a common axis with the nozzle, and forming the powder of the thermal spray material into a liquid phase by the generated plasma to form a film on the first electrode layer.
