Accordingly, restoration and regeneration of cartilage are easily and quickly induced in an animal, excluding a human, while relieving the burden related to surgery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a conductive lift pin used in an electrostatic chuck, an electrostatic chuck including same, and a semiconductor manufacturing method using same. Provided in the present invention are a conductive electrostatic chuck lift pin and an electrostatic chuck having the lift pin mounted therein, the lift pin including AlTiC, which has a TiC phase dispersed on an Al2O3 phase, and having electrical resistivity of 2.5×10-5 to 3.5×10-5 ?·m. The electrostatic chuck lift pin of the present invention can solve the problem of defects induced by static electricity and electric reaction due to contact between the components and insulating ceramic when using existing insulating ceramic, and is conductive and thus can release residual charge between a semiconductor wafer and the electrostatic chuck even without the presence of plasma. Therefore, since the lift pin can be raised immediately after de-chucking, treatment time per wafer sheet is reduced.
