    Abstract: A correction data creating method is provided. In the method, a source voltage is sequentially selected among a plurality of source voltages determined in advance and the selected source voltage is supplied to a heater for heating a substrate support. At the source voltage supplied to the heater, a power supplied to the heater is adjusted such that a resistance of the heater becomes a resistance value corresponding to a predetermined first temperature based on temperature conversion data indicating a relationship between the resistance of the heater and a temperature of the heater. A temperature of the substrate support is measured at a position where the heater is disposed as a second temperature. A correction value corresponding to the difference between the predetermined first temperature and the second temperature is calculated, and correction data indicating a corresponding relationship between each of the source voltages and the correction value is created.
