A method for producing an electrostatic chuck includes the steps of (a) placing a ceramic slurry in a molding die, the ceramic slurry containing a ceramic powder, a solvent, a dispersing agent, and a gelling agent, gelatinizing the ceramic slurry in the molding die, and removing the molding die to obtain first and second ceramic molded bodies; (b) drying, debinding, and calcining the first and second molded bodies to obtain first and second ceramic calcined bodies; (c) printing an electrostatic electrode paste on a surface of one of the first and second ceramic calcined bodies to form an electrostatic electrode while assuming the first ceramic calcined body is to form a dielectric layer of an electrostatic chuck; and (d) superposing the first and second ceramic calcined bodies on each other to sandwich the electrostatic electrode and subjecting the first and second calcined bodies to hot-press firing.
