Abstract: A wafer placement table includes a ceramic plate that has at least a wafer placement part at an upper surface thereof, a cooling plate that is joined to a lower surface of the ceramic plate and that has a refrigerant flow path, gas common paths that are provided above the refrigerant flow path, gas introduction paths that extend from a lower surface of the cooling plate to a corresponding one of the gas common paths, and a plurality of gas distribution paths, that are provided for the gas common paths. The gas distribution path that is disposed at an outermost periphery of the ceramic plate is provided at a position that does not overlap the refrigerant flow path in plan view.
