    摘要: A technology that achieves a highly uniform temperature distribution on the surface of large-area semiconductor wafers and substrates for liquid crystals without prior measurement of the resistance-heating-element circuit and subsequent adjustment of the value of resistance. At least one current-receiving point 4 and at least one current-releasing point 5 are provided at the central portion of an insulating substrate 1. One or more resistance-heating-element circuits 2 are embedded in the insulating substrate spirally or pseudospirally from the central portion including the current-receiving point 4 to the peripheral portion of the insulating substrate 1. All the circuits merge with one another at the outermost portion. One or more resistance-heating-element circuits are separated at the outermost portion of the resistance-heating-element circuits and are formed spirally or pseudospirally from the outermost portion to the central portion including the current-releasing point 5.
